Latest Episode Of This Is eSports Is Full Of Training Grounds Competition
After a less than enthralling episode five, This is eSports is back with competition and drama. This episode features footage from Red Bull Training Grounds' Starcraft II competition in Orlando, Florida.
This episode is designed to give a very brief look at what it's like to attend an eSports event. The casters, the crowd, and of course the competitors create an atmosphere that can't be recreated when watching a stream at home.

Our Take
I've only been to one professional competition (a League of Legends match at PAX a couple of months ago), but the atmosphere is half the enjoyment. The crowd was into it, the competitors were right in front of us, and the match was intense. If you ever get the opportunity to attend a live match, take the opportunity to do so.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
