Recently we reported that Telstra, Australia's largest ISP, had made an investment in esports - through an American esports team, Team SoloMid (TSM).

The North American League of Legends Championship Finals (NA LCS) that went down this past weekend at Madison Square Garden was a mostly epic affair. There was one major exception: the actual finals match that took place on Sunday night.
