This is a recording of my manifesto I presented at SXSWEDU in Austin, Texas on March 7, 2019. The purpose of this presentation was not to provide an overview about esports. Instead, it was meant to be a calling to use esports to be something more than the games.

Esports is organized competitive video games allowing schools to redefine their athletic culture, diversify opportunities for student participation, promote physical and mental health, increase collegiate scholarship pathways, and play games! We cannot forget the importance of play!
