Meh, I like esports. Not going to argue it's nerdy or not nerdy. I have stayed up until 3AM to watch StarCraft tournament finals. I've bought pizzas to watch matches, I've cooked chicken wings in preparation for tournaments. I've participated in low level tournaments, etc.
And I've cheered as hard as I cheer for real sports at a variety of esports moments alongside my brothers, who also love watching BW and SC2.
I saw that live with my brother and literally fell out my seat.
