It is time for another episode of the eSports bulletin, this time for August 16th, 2012. Yes, that’s right, a day behind schedule. After a long day working on eSports, it was 9PM and I was still left the bulletin. Thankfully I decided not to do it because it was crazy long and would have taken me at least a couple hours! Instead I finished up what I was doing and took a well deserved CS:GO/food break. Anyways, enough babbling, here are the topics covered:
