eSports peripherals for Corsair, Logitech and Razer

With each generation, a new sports activity captures youths' imaginations. Back in the day, a football or baseball bat was what kids hoped to find under the tree. Ten years ago, it was a skateboard. Within the last decade, eSports has emerged as the pastime of the moment. “Call of Duty” and “Dota 2” have been broadcast on ESPN networks, a development that's helped lead to Twitch's popularity.

At this World Championship Series event, top competitors in “League of Legends” and “StarCraft II” will go head to head, undoubtedly inspiring others to try their hand at online gaming.
