eSPORTS Site Joins Giant Bomb/Gamespot/CBSi

At onGamers, we will inform, educate and entertain anyone who shares our passion for esports -- the tournaments, the players, the competition, the personalities, the games, the community, the events, the dedication and everything in-between.

- It appears CBI has notice sick Esports is becoming popular, onGamers uses the GB site format, so everything looks like GB. Site has League, DOTA 2, and all the popular Esports covered. The have a shit ton of writers and contributing writers too. I think they'll have some blizzcon stuff too, i'll peek my head in there why not?

I know competitive gaming's a big thing these days but I still find the title 'Senior eSports Editor' hilarious.

The best Daily DotA was when they had Bruno and 2GD as guests. I hope this means we'll see more of this kind of thing.

They better bring in Vinny and Jeff for some professional Windjammers coverage.

There has been rumblings about what was happening with CyborgMatt so this is good since this was more or less what he was doing before.

Oh, lord. Is this the time when people start saying "we won!" when the player they want to win, wins?

I dont give a flying fuck about League or DOTA but if their StarCraft coverage is good I might actually use that site. I love the StarCraft scene.

I know none of these people, GAME ON!

That could be awesome, now we can finally make competitive Windjammer tournaments a thing.

A website dedicated to Divekick? Count me in!

This seems like a really smart idea. How big were these editors before they got hired by CBSi?

Evoli was a manager for the esports team EG i think, slasher wrote about esports for gamespot and thorin wrote good articles and did a interview series for team acer.

Pretty sweet design.

Any website where the majority of your writers go by, or even mention, their online handle / nickname is off to a bad start. Though I would be interested in following some DOTA 2 stuff.

I just can't shake that urge to feel disgusted when I hear the term E-Sprots because it reminds me of the 90's when everything had EXTREME tacked on to it.

Gerstman's plan for 24hrs of constant Windjammers is coming to fruition. Because you know, Windjammers in the one true eSport.

I hope they add forums for each game. Sorely missing right now. Beta is beta!

Yeah though in all fairness more people probably 'know' Cyborgmatt than Matt Bailey.

Oh, hi Slasher. I'm guessing his test run with Gamespot was successful enough to convince the CBSi bigwigs. Nice.

Oh hey, I've really liked the stuff Andrew Groen has written over at PAR. Maybe I'll have another site worth visiting? Wahoo!

I'll check it out over the coming months.

But man that name is a little much right? I'm not alone in that right? I feel like there were a series of meetings and some people just needed it to have "game" somewhere in the title.

E SPORTS CATCH IT

No VGCW or Salty Bets coverage. Who is this site even for?

Good luck, have website.

Windjammers = ESPORTS !!!

I hope they don't rob us of our Brad.

Hey guys, I heard Brad was leaving.

I don't know to feel about this. I guess it is cool but I don't know if I will use it. JoinDOTA provides a great service. They list all of the upcoming Dota matches, who won, who played in them, shows the tournament standings and brackets, team rankings. It is really great.

Esports = All the types of games that I'll never care about....

I feel anyone that is interested in eSports is a pretty hardcore gamer anyway and I think they'll be invested into just one game rather than the broad 'scene' of eSports. As such, I think they'll mostly get their news on the dedicated game communities (r/dota2 or TeamLiquid) rather than a general, eSports site like this. But best of luck.

I'm sorry, but I'm sticking with GB for my eSports needs.

The idea probably has merit, but that site name is terrible and generic

"eSports" is fucking hilarious on so many levels.

"Gamer" is a dumb "word". So is its plural form.

I love how the top bar of their site (where things like 'news, new games, reviews, forums, etc) is dedicated to LoL, DOTA 2 and Starcraft 2.That is delightfully awful
