@Riot/Anyone Who May Know, Need Help With My College Paper Regarding E-Sports

Troy242621·4/21/2015, 1:06:47 AM·1 votes·190 views

I'm writing a definitional argument defending e-sports as a legitimate sport with League of Legends as a reference and, while researching, came across several articles claiming the US government recognized League players from other nations for the purpose of easier visa acquisition, but the ones I found were not what my professor defines as a scholarly source, and for all I know, it could be a hoax.

Could anyone confirm/deny this, and provide a credible source? I'd really appreciate it, whoever helps would get me out of a tight bind. Awful time schedule right now. I've dug and dug, but to no avail.

Man I dunno. I hated courses that had to have scholarly reviewed sources. Sometimes facts are just facts, and this fact is true. "I need a scholarly article that states 1 + 1 = 2" blech.

Maybe contact Riot themselves? I know you're on a time crunch, but that has to be credible.

Edit: Forbes is pretty damn credible. Your prof is an idiot if he won't accept that. What class is this for?

I need some Riot bait is what I need.

There is absolutely no true damage in this thread.

I was muted unjustly and would like some assistance here.

Some non-mages need some nerfing here.
