Hit TV show The Simpsons has taken a leap into the world of Esports in the latest episode ‘E my Sports’.

The episode features Bart and four other renowned characters competing in a video-game called ‘Conflict of Enemies’ which bears an uncanny resemblance to Esports juggernaut, League of Legends.

Writers of the show sought help from Riot Games and notable Esports celebrity and Shoutcaster David "Phreak" Turley in the creation of the episode.

“I got to guest feature on a regular TV show that is as old as I am because I work in Esports. It’s not like I had my acting resume on the stack, it’s because I’m in Esports,” Turley told Cheddar Esports.

In the episode, Bart’s team manage to make it to the finals, and have shot at the world championships held in Seoul, South Korea.

This is no coincidence since League of Legends Worlds 2018 were held in the Mecca of Esports South Korea.

The Simpsons aren’t the only TV series taking the plunge into the Esports world, South Park have parodied Blizzards' flagship game World of Warcraft with the now famous episode ‘Make love not Warcraft’.
