Just after the announcement of the new partnership between MLG and Relativity Media, the eSports powerhouse is now unleashing a brand new show called The eSports Report. Debuting tonight, October 24, at 7 pm ET, The eSports Report will introduce a talk-show themed atmosphere which will “feature interviews with professional gamers, analysis of the most prestigious competitions and insight into the eSports industry.”

I like the set design, but their headsets are ugly. Can’t we get some Razer up in there?
Explain eSports to me please. What all games make up the competition in MLG? I know Call of Duty, and I guess League of Legends and StarCraft since I always hear about those two, but what else is out there?
To that end, why is LoL so popular? Every time I go on Twitch there is an insane number of people watching LoL streams. I’ve watched them, and I don’t get it. I’m not a Call of Duty player either, but I at least like watching other people play COD in the tournaments and stuff.
Call of Duty is really the only one I focus on, however, I enjoy watching League of Legends. I don’t see the appeal of playing it, though, so I may be the wrong person to ask about that!
I love that the Call of Duty eSports scene is growing, though, because I do see it as something that can be a spectator’s sport simply because it can be easily understood. Dota 2 has a pretty large eSports presence as well, but I don’t know much about it either.
I’m just a fountain of knowledge. 😛
