the League of Legends World Championship happened last weekend
13,000 people were jammed into the staple center here in Los Angeles
and it came down to South Korea and China and it turns out that site
South Korea put a beating on China okay so lotsa drums there but I think the
interesting part of this story is how
e-sports is kinda taken over it's become a sporting event
and they have announcers they have literally
tens of thousands of people watching at the same time
up at the Staples Center and so it's kind of incredible that this is ok not
only a growing
trend but you know people continue to
to love it I think that at some point I think it might even be
a Mormon American pastime than football or baseball
well not football but maybe baseball I okay so that's what's interesting part
of the story right
the head it's now gotten so large
everybody knew was locked right everybody knew that it was this huge
thing
and I remember I I love old school
okay so I remember one mission in my at one point had become the largest network
on you too
and machinima basically does gaming fine also she says how could so many people
watch
other people play games I was amazed by and then I realize they're watching for
the commentary is a geyser play
they're basically the new version of talk shows and these are in some ways
the new version
ove competitors I mean athletes is 22 strong obviously right but
but they're competing in a real way that's gotten a lot of people's
attention you go to Staples Center
that's kind of a watershed moment for for this
and in for a lot of the older folks there like 0
values by really like how could people watch other people playing a game
the flip side is we watch other people playing a game all the time
games like basketball football et cetera
yeah and look it goes beyond people the certain demographic I mean I i'm for
that young generation I never really understood that the video game culture
I'm being completely honest with you guys
but regardless if not I mean it is amazing to see how much video games have
progressed in just a short period of time i mean you see this game League of
Legends
and it's really beautifully done like graphically speaking it's
gorgeous and and I sound like a moron right now because I don't play the game
and I have no expertise in it at all
but look I can understand what its generous soul like
insecure about talking about giving okay yeah I didn't
so yeah so what does okay I we talk about murders on the show all the time
when I murderers
spoke a its upright so can we don't know League of Legends I don't know if it's
better than the other games who cares right
to me the phenomenon is fascinating right sure
so like in this like 2i in some reading about the stories like the World Cup
I you got the North America teams and a team's please they're such underdogs
they have no chance
yes the agent is straight away percent anyway this is what I mean about looking
beautiful
I don't know what's going on
its hybrids make no no I love this
you know why I don't understand what's happening either
but it sells just like watch inertness
took a football game I go I gotta go 70 around the corner I W
sooo be called go
so I could only imagine this being broadcast on television
I V I don't forget to go in that direction and that you dose
a certain network is gonna buy the rights to broadcast it they're gonna
make a tremendous amount of money off a bit
I mean if networks are really concerned about capturing a.m. younger demographic
this is the exact way to do and no reason other reason I love the stories
like if
my dad sees this he would lose his mind right and whereas younger people think
like
of course what's the big deal right like it once we thought about mess around
with my dad you know I already AM one heart attack when I
said oh I'm not gonna be a lawyer anymore I'm going to be a a talk show
host
that I thought like and then the is started succeeding a little bit knees
got a little bit of a sigh relief
and then I was seeing a mess and I love them so you know that you know whatever
the torture stuff
decide I'm gonna be a professional gamer you look for all its
it Busick look this up he would be the only one who got it I from that I
okay so what the what the funny thing is that it's become so professionalized
that they are now hope
amateur leaks like it was funny when there was professionals to begin with
now they're so professional though they like 0 well
enough if you amateurs wanna try legal Bureau her
the guys that usually I'm sure awesome not right
the video where you see the announcers doing analysis
love the game its incredible down to this:
okay this is amazing best 25 series between SK Telecom t1
and while checked
the Friday aspect ellicott see why
for championship hands down I feel like it's landing is a tentative time he's
never lost land so far this entire tournament
all he does is Cara pics opponent and smash land and is always useful
throughout the game they play the map in the clip jeff is better than anyone else
they will rotate some
arable land edges five-man divert er and you might get their top for but they'll
get kills me
on your tour the collateral itself an all-time that push around blue buffer
dragon
to get more than they lost in all these bushes really vision centric really
mobility base
almost a second support on the map it's what basically snowballs at Katies
leader something about their play that forces
other teams to react to their decisions and with their team compositions that
are all about that 5v5 it's really really powerful
art that's awesome obviously there to some degree trying to look wayyy SPM
and eight totally look like it ride and then
that houses on the Blue Dragon that was really my day was blah blah for
something and drag 'em
so but then that's what makes it kinda comical but if you don't know football
might also sad comical
ride but it's like although it's a twist and turn it on I Drive it was amazing
feel you Gatineau you but but overall
II love any kinda competition you got all these countries
a competing China was the heavy favorite and the south koreans in a dramatic
stunning upset win 30
and then of course the nicknames other players are awesome the South Korean
team
had these nicknames impact piglet faker
a Benji and my favorite to mandu
pressure I woulda gone in that direction in terms of a nickname a they won the
summoners Cup
and by the way one million dollar grand prize
mean and one final twist on this story a
there now debating whether the Asians or simply genetically better at video games
yes ok to come up with a public that's so stupid
so unbelievably stupid of course they're not and another camp is like
well it might be because the way they train in the cut you know spend more
time with
of course that's what it is of course
note how are you like arm and his thumbs and the coordination he has
week it could be you know cuz the old days in China when they're
you know picking rice or whatever the farms would know man that's why the
genetically better at it
it can we can we keep it real okay come on michael FAA
can do i do I have to say it you say it okay
say I took up with the heat okay it was
what away so she was gonna hate and do it
um okay people criticize people that watched
like he said as compared to the ESPN maybe College GameDay well as about that
old oxidn they're talking about football
in the law are you stupid xox are you want to iffy but skies road to juggle oh
and profits snoo tackle do
this so homoerotic they say all these things about sports athletes
and fans right fine whatever doesn't stop us from watching football
club put it this way the game was lame and I don't get a million people sittin'
in one space to watch other people players begin with I think maybe some
are genetically disposed do better because
maybe the steady hand like you can't really complicated now right
he is steady hand to move the controller slightly to flight movie I think it's
very specific I get there
but the problem it comes as this sucks said such a butt hurt
reaction when someone says I like that that's lame
we can say that why not you not its lame spoken way it looks like Velda 2013
closest thing I become like don's right now spinning in his chair
but that looks like the love 1984 I thought that's that they'll see anything
new about that we did that's it we're seven
that's fine okay demand
I let the hate pour on the JR Jackson
her I'm amused by the idea pac-man World Cup tournament
all you see the way they don't understand what's going on I
yeah I'm all about what the Altair is saying that he doesn't like that game
yahoo7 bottom line it doesn't mean you shouldn't play or
how their use in your room and practice for a year to make sure that good at it
I mean no cuz guys absolutely no high school guys
they leave the school every day and go and run into each other and they get
better at football right
because simple file these things but this practice that's all there is to it
but each
his own being but don't get mad with my says for
kinda stupid assist their opinion like your opinion man
yeah I to quote the dude
but last couple things its I'd refuse a I
the even entertain the idea that it's not that it's genetic it is not genetic
it is not genetic that's ridiculous okay
number two I know because I use a play rugby so whenever you're in a community
with that is not a silly mainstream are you anybody dis on rugby all the rugby
players would be so my goal to foreclosure or resolve approach Paula
bahbah
I know dude just calm down were smaller than they are just
okay stirs don't you don't need to panic
rate and a and then saying a wall
let me just pour une just a tiny bit ahead arrayed all even though I love the
concept overall
I don't play it but I think it's cool that it's gotten this big right
%uh is that yeah don't call them real efforts their real competitors
they're not at what's that's that's when I'll give them a good sign this is not
an athlete
okay really use a muscular stance a play that game your
I know day they're gonna give you that dexterity I hand coordination
spare me spare me now like to get more hate the chair for same
okay
