Fucking football today became so pathetic

BTW this is not ow diss

as a an ManUtd fan, I have to ask: why?

Really? You find this unbelievable? I'm just surprised they didn't go for sc or lol team since lately their target audience seems to be south Korea.

not unbelievable, I heard about Schalke and LoL (though I thought it was Dota), but it just seems unrelated to football and all.

there's money in it, FC Schalke bought a LoL team for example :)

Schalke 04 has a LoL team. Shaq owns a LoL/CS team. There are Dota highlights on ESPN. Esports are projected to be bigger than NHL in 5 years.

Considering the various amounts of betting sites that have cropped up due to e-sports, there's a really nice way to make some extra $$$

I'm not proud to say but I've made a bit of money on the side just due to some Dota 2 game predictions on various major events.

It's an interesting topic to bring up, but yeah any new e-sports will be good with the direction things are going.

Just found out tonight that since mid May Schalke 04 has as LoL division.
