🎧 The rapid growth of e-sports

Listened The rapid growth of e-sports by Dr Sarah Jane Kelly, Darren Kwan, Dr Brandon Spradley, Luke Dale, Mark Azzi, Karin Zsivanovits from Radio National’s Future Tense

E-sports – competitive video gaming – is set to leave traditional performance sport in its wake. Whether to recognise e-sports as a real sport is not the main issue any more; the main challenge is to create working governance structures.

This is interesting listening after reading Doug Belshaw’s post on the rise of eSports. All this discussion of playing games to crowds reminds me of the movie, The Wizard. It is interesting that it is currently unregulated. It would seem that this will be a factor in its inclusion in such things as the Olympics?
