Forbes Features MLG and eSports

E-sports such as Star Craft 2 are growing in popularity
Related Articles
The idea that video game players would rate the attention of the business magazine Forbes would have seen ludicrous years ago, but an article on Forbes.com – the second such article focusing on the world of eSports – shows just how big the business of professional video gaming has become.
 
Bet on e-sports, including Starcraft 2, every week at Pinnacle Sports.

In the article the writer, Paul Tassi, interviews one of the co-founders of MajorLeagueGaming, a company that hosts eSports tournaments across the US. The lively interview shows the love that MLG Co-founder Sundance DiGiovani has for the industry, the games and the fans. Some topics covered include the exchange program that MLG has launched with GOMTV to allow for Korean pros to play in the US MLG events, and US pros from the MLG circuit to compete in one of the world's largest eSports series in Korea.
 
Looking to compete in a MLG event? Here's the 2011 schedule.
 
July 29-31
Anaheim, CA – Anaheim Convention Center
 
August 26-28
Raleigh, NC - Raleigh Convention Center
 
October 14-16
Orlando, FL - Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center
 
November 18-20
