eSports? e-Sports? Competitive gaming? Well whatever you call it, the PC hardware company Razer is ready to educate you on its happenings.Razer Academyhas compiled a list of well-known names from the scene (like Latif!) with a promise to bring us “gaming shows, guides, game analysis, commentary, articles, interviews and documentaries.” They coverStarCraft IIto MOBA games to the fighting scene, though I find it odd that the only first-person shooter on there isQuake.
Many of the staff members have introductions up on the site already, and Toby Dawson (TobiWanKenobi) even has aDota 2video up (shown above). Imaginatively titled “LearnDOTA,” he commentates on a match and explains what and why they do what they do. I must say, as aDota 2newbie, I actually took valid information away from his video. It’s not as entry-level as I may have liked, but it serves its purpose nonetheless.
Razer has always been a supporter of the competitive scene, and it seems like they just took it to the next level. I look forward to Razer Academy’s growth, especially whatever the “gaming shows” end up being. Why don’t we have aSportsCenterfor eSports yet? Get on that, Razer Academy!
