Halo Championship Series Season 1 Recap: Evil Geniuses Crowned Deserved Winners
VICE has released a video series documenting a trip to South Korea aiming to explore the eSports culture. Video games are more of less full-on sports in the country, and millions upon millions of people play League of Legends--more than live in France, VICE points out.

He's not outright condescending necessarily, but you can see the skepticism about the whole affair come through.
