What was the first Esports match you ever watched?
Just what the title says. For me the earliest one I remember watching (which may in fact be my first one) would be the IEM (Intel Extreme Masters) LoL finals between Team Dignitas and Moscow 5.

League Related: Worlds 2013 with Gaming Gear vs OMG. From there my brother taught me how to play League and showed me games from 2012 and 2013 after Worlds. That's when I was like "so that's where Marn went"
Overall Related: EVO 2011, notably Street Fighter and Marvel vs Capcom, following players such as Justin Wong, Combofiend, IFC Yipes, Filipino Champ, KBrad, and of course, Marn.
sc1 korean tournies
i just enjoyed how fast they talked
I think it was between Guillaume Patry vs H.O.T Forever. Starcraft 1
The first esports match I watched was when my friend got me back into the game a few years ago, it was CLG vs SKT at msi.
Some Marvel vs Capcom tournament, think it took place in Vegas, don't remember much else about it.
2014 LCK Spring Najin White Shield vs CJ Entus Blaze.
That Save's Shyvana play in game 2 made me forever a Najin fan.
For league it had to either be the First Worlds at Dreamhack or one of the pre-tourney qualifiers via IEM. In total i think it would have been some TF2 ESEA/TWL/CEVO (don't remember which of them it was).
CLG vs DIG I think around 2013 Summer? D-Lift was on Graves or urgot and the game went like 60+ mins.
