So what's the deal with eSports? Does anybody know what way is this all glorified electronic sports heading? Cause I haven't got a clue because it's not really predictable, and that actually freaks me out as I spend nearly 6 years covering various gaming threads in Polish.

We all know what's been going on till this point. We've had some pretty nice pionier tournaments (the first ones) which showed others the way. Later there were some follow-ups, creation of CPL, Razer, WCG, all kinds of mouse pad companies & stuff (all aim at gamers), first "really" sponsored players, clans, multi-clans, first signs of professional gaming careers. Now we can see first marks of TV's and press' attention, Russia or China accepting eSports as the regular ones. But, as for me, it all came without a really big commitment. There were just a few good clans, good players (excluding Korea) and good sponsors. It all drove to bigger media attention, a little bit more money and events.

Anyway, it just still doesn't feel that professional. When I sometimes read the posts about players forgetting to renew passports, quiting their teams (which they signed cotracts to), being childish or irresponsible.
