Competitive Video Gaming

Apparently competitive video gaming is now a televised "sport" - there are currently 2 tournaments appearing on TV on relatively mainstream channels.  And it is about as unwatchable as you might imagine.  It might even top squash as one of the worst spectator sports there is.  It doesn't help that most of the competitors appear to be either interchangeable characterless Asians for the individual games, or a motley assortment of dodgy East Europeans in the team games.  All male, naturally.  If only there was a competitive video gaming tournament for Operation Wolf on the Spectrum about 28 years ago, my life might have been entirely different!
