When I talked to friends at the time, some who were into gaming and some weren’t didn’t really know much or anything about the WCG or what competitive gaming really was all about.Īround the early days ~2000-2001 there was an interesting thing taking place in Korea where they would televise starcraft and starcraft brood war touraments across the country. Back in 2004 I actually went to compete at the world cyber games qualifiers held in Melbourne playing Warcraft 3, I didn’t do too badly but not well enough to advance but back then there were a few major sponsors of the event but not a very big turn out of people came to watch the event. I remember about 5-6 years ago competitive gaming was very ‘underground’ and not many people really knew all that much about it. Competitive gaming is the next frontier of sports, and boy has it changed. When you sit down and watch a football game you can hear the cheer of the crowd, possibly some commentary in a set of headphones tuned to the radio with all the excitement and atmosphere that goes along with that. The rise in popularity over the last few years in respect to competitive gaming or e-sports as its becoming commonly known is quite amazing.
