- Video games are fast becoming the biggest thing in the entertainment world. Why? Correspondent John Blackstone looks into the worldwide explosion of "eSports," the athletes who play them, and the millions of fans who pay to watch them play.
"Im too old to understand whats going on in online gaming"
One of the best, most balanced surveys of eSports I have seen from mainstream media. CBS is actually doing eSports a service by giving such a straight-up assessment.
Really liked this reporter, he went in with no prejudice and asked the objective questions without being condescending, really great job!!
people seem to forget that football and golf etc are also games
I can't understand anyone watching a golf game. Can anyone?
The first well rounded and non-bias report I've seen yet. Good job CBS, you did this report well. And bonus points for not butchering it like HBO did.

About 5 years now since main stream media has started doing periodic e-sports stories. First time we've had a somewhat accurate report and not just a bunch naive undertones about loners who live in their parents' basement.
the problem with professinold espot is a lot of gamers such as myself face is we cant be professinold because we consistently get bad teammates (bronze elo hell, redditers will understand this) this is a serious problem that blizzard doesnt acknowledge, i have very good mechonics on a heroer called lee song (fictional korean blind monk), but no matter how perfect my skill is, my teammates are always holding me back from being pro, dont support espot until valve fixes leagues server, gg
Great segment! Describes esports very well. One thing you missed was Valve's International with a prize pool of over $10,000,000 for a Dota2 competition. The winning team received $5 million.
Not at all a Call of Duty fan, but Nadeshot is a brilliant poster boy for e-sports. He's humble yet outgoing and charismatic. He did very well on this interview.
The funny thing he mentioned golf, the dota2 international had more prize money than the PGA.
Well, I told my wife a year ago video games would earn their spot on the big stage. Can't wait to share this video with her :)
I saw that Gurren Laggan wall scroll... Believe in the kamina that believes in you
I like how unbiased this is. A lot of these tend to lean heavily one way or another, but this just sits right in the middle perfectly. Really good job
Watching this for a college course on game development. Seeing these old teams and watching Scump and Nadeshot is overwhelmingly nostalgic.
Compared to the absolutely terrible segment done by BBC about 6 or 10 months ago, this one is quite alot better. I would say if someone you know watches this and still doesn't get it, I would advise going to Totalbiscuits youtube channel and looking up his "Why we watch" video, as it gives a very very basic look at
This was actually very well done, no dumb stereotypes and the research was done well.
Hey! A mainstream media segment about eSports that isn't shitting all over it!
Awesome video, but how the hell did they leave out any trace of counterstrike's 15 year history or any mention of fighting games? DotA as well is the 2nd biggest online game next to LoL and no mention of it anywhere, kinda makes you wonder who CBS hired to make this short.
