Go To College, Play Video Games. E-Sports Make A Play For The Big Ten
Lined up at a row of computers, five Ohio State University students stare intently at their screens amid the clatter of keyboards and mouse clicks. They're keeping in shape -- so to speak. Ohio State, along with 11 other colleges, is in the middle of the first-ever Big Ten tournament for League of Legends, one of the most popular e-sports in the world. That partnership -- between the country's oldest Division I athletic conference and League of Legends maker Riot Games -- shows how far e-sports have come into the mainstream. With a 2-0 record so far, though, Ohio State still has a lot to prove -- to their school, as much as to themselves.
