Welcome to the Outback, ya bloody drongos. Or maybe that should be flamin’ galahs?

Every week, every month, there’s yet another sign that now is the time when esports levels up and shows the wider world why it’s time to take notice. This new show – The Esports Moment – will talk to people who have had a big hand in the esports journey so far, and those who are shaping its future.

It’s our post-Blizzcon wrap up, with a fast and loose exploration of all the big news from the show.
The biggest event on the annual Blizzard games calendar, Blizzcon, is right around the corner. So to kick off The Scrapyard, we’re taking a close look at all six games in the stable to think about the year so far and what we expect from the big show.
