Anthony and Imran welcome Peter Kendall from How Do I Jump? to talk the history and rise of eSports. He takes us through the history of eSports, from Donkey Kong to Dota, and the state of the industry today. Peter and Anthony debate whether eSports athletes are, in fact, athletes, if the scene will go mainstream, how to actually play Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) and much more!
