  • G3 is the the biggest esports event ever staged in the UK. For two days earlier this month, the Copper Box arena at the London Olympic Park ditched basketball and badminton for video games. World champions at football simulator FIFA 14, lightning-quick strategy game StarCraft2, and first-person shooters Call of Duty and Counterstrike battled it out for a share of the $140,000 prize pot. Four thousand fans filled the arena itself while more than 8.5 million watched live online.
