"esports" - a massive new industry that has sprouted up over the last couple years in the US and Europe is starting to take notice of Bitcoin.
SC2BTC.com and Dead.Gaming are hosting the first of many Starcraft 2 tournaments with Bitcoin prize pools.
This one started at 8pm CET and is streaming now here:

Some pretty good players I think (edit: 3 "Grandmasters" top 200 in Europe). Here's the updating ladder: http://challonge.com/sc2btc_196203
One reason Bitcoin will catch on here is that payments for these types of tournaments have taken sometimes months to process and pay out. Bitcoin is ideal for this market.
