This Is eSports Episode 8 Crowns Another Training Grounds Champion

This week's This is eSports finishes up the Starcraft II competition at Red Bull Training Grounds in Florida. It's great to see how the competition plays out, but the insights from those that didn't make it to the top are interesting, too.

If you've not been following along with Red Bull's weekly series, you can catch up on past episodes here:

• Episode 1 and 2
• Episode 3
• Episode 4
• Episode 5
• Episode 6
• Episode 7

Next week explores team competition and the role of managers in eSports.

Our Take
The most interesting part of these episodes are the bits that help newcomers understand more about what they are watching. It would be great if Red Bull tuned these a little bit more toward the educational, as they tend to be a little too heavy on the fluff.
