Being a native New Yorker, I'll be rooting for the New York Excelsior. I'm really happy that the colors compliment those of the New York Rangers and New York Giants.

I still believe that only the surface is being scratched with Esports...if you take a look at the viewership, it has consistently risen YoY and will continue to grow well into the years to come. Speaking for myself, I spend about 1-2 hours a week watching Esports. Not quite at the level of traditional sports for me yet but it's certainly getting there.
