Bob Nelson, superintendent of Fresno Unified, spoke passionately Monday about the district’s new eSports program involving video games such as “Fortnight” and “League of Legends.”

Students compete on teams representing their high schools.
Nelson noted that viewership of eSports competitions is growing rapidly worldwide and universities are offering scholarships.
