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:
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.
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.
