Red Bull is giving eSports fans a look inside the world of competitive gaming with a new web series. This is eSports, hosted by former professional Halo player Dave "Walshy" Walsh is a sixteen-part series and the first two episodes are available now.

The first two episodes give viewers an introduction to competitive Starcraft and bring the cameras inside Blizzard for a discussion with the team behind the RTS hit. You can check out a new episode every Thursday, but the first two are available below.

 

Our Take
This is eSports is an approachable introduction to competitive gaming. If you've ever been interested in watching live streams of Starcraft (but don't know where to begin), this is a good place to learn the lingo and get a feel for where the scene began and where it's going.
