In this week’s Green Felt Journal, I get to share what I’ve learned about the burgeoning place of esports in Las Vegas:
The IS-7 thunders over the rubble of a ruined cottage just as a T110E5 comes crashing through the trees. They simultaneously fire on the Spahpanzer Ru 251, which is rocked by explosions but manages to hang on. As the attackers reload, the Ru 251 wheels backward, searching for cover. But an SU-152 is waiting to deliver the kill shot. In a fiery blast, the Ru 251 ceases to exist.

This was a real education for me. I’ve got to say that I’ve found BattleViewer.com to be absolutely compelling viewing. It’s amazing how quickly I get invested in the matches. It’s nice to see casinos starting to embrace esports groups.
