[GAMBIT-UROPS-summon] [Gambit-games] Friday Games @ GAMBIT - Starcraft 2

[Owen Macindoe]

This week Starcraft 2 players in the US are battling for fame and cash in
two major tournaments, Major League Gaming: Anaheim and the US Nationals of
the Starcraft 2 World Championship Series. Since its release in 2010
Starcraft 2 has been at the forefront of the rapidly growing eSports
industry. Players at the highest levels of competition are now traveling
internationally to compete in tournaments and are able to support
themselves financially solely from tournament winnings, streaming revenue,
and sponsorship deals. eSports as a whole is expanding, with tournaments
attracting upwards of a quarter of a million concurrent viewers via online
video streaming services and attracting large mainstream sponsors, eager to
promote their brands to a new market of eSports fans.

Come join us at 4pm in the lounge where we will be giving a primer on
pro-gaming and Starcraft 2, then settling in to watch some epic matches.
