-Kyou- wrote eSports, or competitive gaming has been growing every single day, into an entertainment powerhouse. Sites such as Twitch.Tv and MLG's Gamebattles have become high traffic, highly used sites.

So my questions for you TTG, is do you think eSports have the potential to become a true sport? Things such as TV broadcasts, Team/Player Jerseys, and other forms of merchandise are something that are potential sources for eSports.

My viewpoint is that eSports can become just as large. Taking statistics from past tournaments and sites such as Gears of War 3 Hypefestation and general Twitch.Tv stats, there is definitely a demand for eSports by the viewers. The one thing I think that is holding eSports back is a real lack of team support. Just think about it, for NFL Football, you can root for a team and it's convenient to do so. For eSports, especially the more popular ones such as Starcraft II, it is usually individuals competing. It's a little harder to give strong support to individuals in my opinion.

So TTG, do you think this will grow in the next couple years? And also explain why. I look forward to discussing with you guys.

I don't think so to be honest. eSports is entirely different then actual sports. It can grow big, but not enormous. Maybe even a small channel on a special ordered package.

But, I know in Asia, especially Korea, Starcraft II champions are considered idols, like our players.

I'm not sure if you have ever played Starcraft II. But generally Asian players are amazing, I played against some Koreans in I think Gold League and got demolished in 5 minutes by a collussus rush.
