What is eSports?
14Sorry for the lack of videos recently! I've been very busy with school and work that I haven't been able to upload anything outside of my occasional livestreams on the weekends. (which you can follow here: twitch.tv/satoshiplays).
This is a very different spin from my other videos, this was made originally for one of my classes but I might as well upload it here for better access for my professor and to just share what I've been doing for the past week and a half. Let me know if you guys want to see content similar to this in the future!
