It’s only a matter of time. The eSports industry is growing so fast that it could eventually surpass our current sports industry.
The Madden championships could draw more viewers. We could start calling eSports sports and real sports rSports.
New squads are forming all the time, and we’re going to need some good team names for gaming.
Let’s get the party started.
