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.
