Reading The Sydney Morning Herald this morning I stumbled across a 5 page article on the subject of E-sports, normally I would skip these types of articles considering generally they're all full of tripe written by journalists with no real idea of what they're talking about, however this time I saw that they were tagging along with iMmunity as a guest on their recent Paris adventure, and thought it might be worth checking out.

Turns out I was right.

Hired e-guns (smh article)

Good to see someone from the mainstream media actually going along and experience something like ESWC.

Seamus Byrne attended the ESWC as a guest of Team Immunity.

^ Looks to be a good move, with plenty of coverage for both iM and gaming in general. The article was pretty positive in tone, and certainly more informative - albeit less sensational - than the Today Tonight-style coverage that gaming often attracts.

The 'ceiling' mentioned in the article is a problem for many Australian sporting teams and athletes, because they struggle to secure the funding to regularly compete against the best. For those who follow cricket, it's something that's oft-referred to when discussing the plight of the associate nations.

PS. Komm - Note the lack of 74 word sentences in that newspaper article... :P
