Hump Day Exchange: The Emergence of eSports

This episode of the Hump Day Exchange podcast talks about the ever-growing field of eSports. Modern eSports are a juggernaut, light years beyond the Red Bull-fueled LAN parties of the early aughts. Games have become dizzyingly complex, prize pools reach 8-figures, and a growing number of colleges and universities now offer eSports scholarships.

Our three expert guests will break it down for you no matter your skill level. We invited Adam Toll, CEO of Haste, Connie Cambre, social media specialist for KontrolFreek, and Albert Lee, President of Georgia Tech's eSports Club.

Hump Day Exchange is one part social gathering of the Tech Square community and one part podcast recording. Each month, after sharing some food and drink, we explore one topic from three perspectives. Each guest goes into the hot seat to talk with our host 1:1, then all three guests engage in a roundtable conversation. We end with questions from the live studio audience.
