E-Sports set to reach the Olympics
Lets first set the scene.
Only two competitors remain and the tension is mounting, Who will take the gold? Hundreds of thousands if not millions of spectators look on from everywhere around the world. Sitting on the hard plastic chairs in the stadium to lounging in the comfort of their own homes in front of their TV's and PC's, all is deathly hush............
..........until a scream pierces the silence.
"BOOM HEADSHOT!!"
The GB team errupts with jeers and shouts of "Pwnd", "Learn to play" and "Noob".
Jack Goff the USA team captain gracious in defeat, stands to shake hands and responds smartly with "Go die in a fire"
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the world of e-sports, soon to hit the highest plateau of global recognition, where you will find some athletes start to favour a laser mouse and pixelated AWP over a javelin and running shoes.
Brace yourself for unsportsmanlike bad mouthing and e-peen stroking, furious button clicking and temper tantrums.
Over the following weeks we will be taking you through the WASD's and the DPI's, the macros and the minmaxing, All terms and technicalities that you will be hearing very soon from Londons 2012 Olympic games.
