This is a huge industry believe it or not. The term 'eSports' covers a broad range of games, although you'd have to imagine Hibs will focus on FIFA in the main. Top League of Legends players are pulling in £50,000 a week to play, and that's without adding in prize money from tournaments.
Really good initiative by Hibs.

Yup, the latest event was at Staples Centre IIRC. Think Vue were broadcasting it at cinemas around the UK. 34 million viewers! Originally Posted by Mrs. S

My oldest is completely obsessed, planning a trip sometime to see it live. I know a lot more about it than a 50 year old woman normally would :) Originally Posted by SRH

Sure it will be back in London sooner rather than later! The game itself is a bit childish looking on first glance, but the strategy and level of depth at high skill levels is absolutely incredible. Nice to see the stigma surrounding competitive gaming is starting to dissipate a little. Originally Posted by Mrs. S

A lot of big cluns are getting involved: Schalke, Fenerbahce, PSG etc.
