This week's recap is actually from last week, but I never posted it here so figured why not. The next Week in eSports recap will come out tomorrow, recapping this past week. I hope that made sense.

This Week in eSports - a name which may change as the fighting game community has already gotten salty, citing to use competitive gaming instead - is my first feature since joining GameSpot. Much like 'This Week in Gaming' and the great 'This Week in StarCraft' posts that are made on TL and Reddit, the feature will incorporate all of the biggest events, news, and happenings in the world of esports from the previous week. Not just SC2 (and Brood War), but all games that make up esports. The feature will not just be links to other sites, but will have longer-form recaps especially of major events, and will include exclusive stories and quotes.

One of the biggest complaints and concerns that I hear from those who don't really follow professional gaming, or may only know a few players here and there, is the difficulty in keeping up with what's going on. So many different games, genres, leagues, teams and players, all with seemingly random three or four-letter acronyms to those unaware. Even hardcore fans of the sport have a tough time following everything, usually only being able to keep up with one game or genre (SC/RTS, Street Fighter/FGC). This is one of the main problems I want to address while at GameSpot and hope this to be a good starting point.

This is a work in progress, and still working the kinks out. Wasn't able to embed TwitchTV VOD's for the first time but will for the next one, and expect many more pictures. Criticism encouraged, praise accepted.
