amped eSports has posted an interesting article recapping a recent piece on competitive gaming done by the news tv show, 60 Minutes. The feature is centered around the lovable Fatal1ty, but not just limited to him. In fact, the piece does a pretty good job informing the non-competitive gamer of what is going on in the pro scene.
You can read the full article, but I have to say from reading this that I think the fine people at amped eSports are getting a tad-ahead of themselves; much in the same way as people keep claiming that Linux is 'ready for the desktop', I think that there exists certain permenant limitations in our culture that prevent video gaming from really matching the giants of baseball and football in the minds of little children.It’s time to wake up, America. eSports has hit the spotlight and with it comes the realization of a dream that has existed in the mind of every child since Fred Savage took his brother to California for a Nintendo tournament in The Wizard. Professional Gamer is now a valid career path.
