Olympics could be next challenge

Will e-sports be a part of the Olympics?

In late December, teenager Li Peinan, who goes by the gaming moniker of TIME, vanquished compatriot Cao Jinhui - aka JIM - in a StarCraft duel to earn the right to represent China at the Intel Extreme Masters Pyeongchang.

The tournament is part of Intel's role in "The Olympic Partner" (TOP) sponsorship program, and will see the world's best players of hit real-time strategy title StarCraft II battle for glory from Feb 5-7 in the lead up to the Winter Games in South Korea.
