Many people saw the GSL trend worldwide for an hour and stay relevant in NA on Friday night / Saturday morning. There was a post that discussed this on Teamliquid already . The original article stated: With over 1300 tweets in an hour GSL became the trending topic worldwide on Twitter.

We have 10,000+ watching streams on a daily basis. For the show I run, State of the Game, we easily break 10,000 every Tuesday at 10:30 CDT. If it only takes 1300 tweets (granted I know this was in the middle of the night) then what in the world are people doing when we as casters say "go tweet about the GSL / MLG / IPL / NASL / whatever"?



This got me thinking: I want to play around with Twitter. We've brought down TL for a couple of seconds on State of the Game and crash TheHandsomeNerd.com weekly. This week, I want to get #ESPORTS trending if only for a couple of seconds.



We generally hit peak concurrent about thirty minutes to an hour into State of the Game so I will most likely ask the chat to tweet all at once right at We have 10,000+ watching streams on a daily basis.

I don't care if you watch the show (but by all means join us ^^) but if you find yourself awake at this time, throw up a tweet with the hashtag #ESPORTS in it. From my understanding this works better if no one is talking about it before hand, so don't tweet anything with #ESPORTS in it prior to this time.



Lets see if we can turn some heads to find out just what ESPORTS is or fail horribly and all laugh at the attempt.



See you then, I hope.



Edit: Tell people about this thread and the cause. Match my 10,000 from State of the Game, I dare you
