The FGC gets exposure on another mainstream outlet

It's not too often when we see the fighting game community get a bit of mainstream exposure. Naturally, it's always a treat when an example pops up, and today we've got a great one.

Earlier this month, fighting game veteran Ryan Hart took a trip over to the Fox 5 News studios in New York to discuss the ESL One competition.

Hart has been competing in tournaments since 1994. Over the years, he became renowned for being a top player in series such as King of Fighters, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, and Street Fighter, with numerous championship wins under his belt.

This year's Brooklyn Beatdown was part of ESL One and took place at the Barclays Center in New York.

During the segment, Ryan spoke with Fox 5 correspondent Baruch Shemtov about eSports, what competing entails, and more.

Not only was Hart featured prominently, but the two also played a quick match of Street Fighter 5 on air.
