Team's permanent competitive space will be in half of the Brooks Lounge in the Alumni Memorial Union. The goal is to have the space ready by the start of the League of Legends season in January.
Esports has nine teams: Rocket League, Rainbow Six (Siege), Call of Duty, Counter Strike, two League of Legends teams and two Super Smash Bros teams. The Rocket League team and one of the League of Legends teams will compete on the varsity level.

I will not recognize this as legitimate until they add Centipede and Mario Brothers.

Yes, and some players making money, but right now a terrible business.

I came here to post that. In Junior year, at the competitive level that we were .. one game of BT would take 3 hours, minimum.
Bros last night I had 7 kills and with 5 left got into a battle with some clown. He got me when he was down to 9 health. Damn it!!

The unfortunate part is most players in these college teams would compare to 9th men on a d5 high school team. Maybe 1 player on each team has a shot at say the d2 college level.
Most real players don't bother with the college scene.
Just started playing Cuphead with my kids. Love the oldtime cartoon graphics.

Centipede is the GOAT, but boy all those old arcade games give me carpal tunnel.

I made a concerted effort to ignore this whole topic because quite frankly it sounds really dumb to me. However, I'm sitting here drinking a cup of coffee on a vacation day so I thought, what the heck...
So, using the term sports while sitting in front of a TV seems, again dumb, I have to admit I assumed they would at least be playing fake SPORTS games not shoot em up games. I'm going to go back to completely ignoring this concept.
And I'm not a baby boomer so you can't OK Boomer me.

I think you're right. Whenever I spend any time in a room with gamers, I hear them say, "Goddam it!!" several times. Also, "Jesus Christ!"
A very religious bunch.

World's already beats out the world series in viewership. Minus 2016

Actually this is false. Was exposed a few months ago based on how streams were counted vs traditional viewership of the other sports. Apples to peanuts.
Mark Cuban is calling it a horrible business. The statistics are such a joke and there are people out there using the term fraudulent.
It isn't without value, but way way way overstated at the moment.
