This Is eSports Episode 5 Is About Downtime And Hyping Up
Even pro gamers need a little break. In the newest episode of Red Bull's This is eSports series, Walshy heads to Full Sail University for Red Bull Training Grounds Orlando.
There, he and the competitors take to the go-kart track before the big competition. We also get to hear from fans attending in person about what makes live spectating so much fun.

Our Take
This episode was a little disappointing, as it didn't really give us much of a look at competition or much discussion with the gamers. Downtime is important, but I'm not sure watching a go-kart race offers up anything interesting for viewers.
Thankfully, we should be back to competition coverage in next week's episode.
