In case some1 is missing it:
Slasher wrote an article on the best moments happened in esports in the past 15 years. His intention was to counter an earlier article which did receive a massive amount of critizm from the NA esports scene.
"Rod 'Slasher' Breslau — Competitive gaming and eSports are not a new phenomenon.
The act of playing games for sport has been growing in popularity since the mid 90's. From Doom 2 deathmatch, NetQuake and Descent, to Warcraft 2 on Kali, Diablo and Ultima Online PvP—to say nothing of going down to the local arcade to spend your quarters and wait your turn on Street Fighter 2—people have loved playing each other in video games.
Although eSports has only reached new heights largely due to the growing number of competitive players at organized tournaments like Major League Gaming's Pro Circuit and GOMTV Global StarCraft II League, there is a rich, detailed history of events from the past 15 years."

Full with videos, something like 3 hours to watch/read/comment on, if you got some time it will be worth it, most likely.
Spoiler from Facebook: "TosspoT: I casted them both!!"
