This is getting serious people! Competitive gaming is bigger than ever. One of the premiere places that you can watch all of your favorite games is on the Twitch platform. Now the Amazon branded company is looking to expand this even further by working with a company called Faceit to launch a new E Sports championship series. This will follow the same model as traditional sports as games like Counter Strike will feature teams split up into divisions around the world.

Amongst the plans of divisions, there will be a development league for new players and teams looking to get into the ‘sport’. Talks are in the works to redefine rules and regulations including welfare and benefits. This is shaping up to be something more legit, and while I’m still not a fan of playing video games being considered an actual sport, it’s making moves in the right direction.
