One of the fastest-growing forms of sports entertainment in the world is making its mark on Pueblo.
Esports — short for electronic sports, in which participants go head-to-head in intensely competitive video games — are becoming increasingly popular in Pueblo and a few local high schools have already launched their own competitive teams.
The biggest esports team in town, however, is at Pueblo Community College, which has had a competitive esports team for several years and continues to grow its program, according to the college’s esports coordinator Andrew Nunn.
