Disrupt Gaming Podcast

KJ is an owner of PSISTORM esports, an organization out of Virginia that competes primarily in Starcraft II. He is an avid car fanatic and drives a Ferrari Scuderia, he met the rest of the owners through car events. In addition to his love of cars, we talk about Celebrate Fairfax a massive event in North VA., with 80-100,000 people attending where PSISTORM will be holding the PSISTORM Cup. KJ talks about bringing esports to a mainstream audience at the event on June 6th. In addition, we cover esports visa issues. With so many players coming from abroad, (PSISTORM has a couple now, and four more on the way) how do professional athletes visas work and what options do players have to get to America? *It was trash day when I recorded this and there was some added noise in the background as a result. I did my best to cut it out in editing but there is some choppy conversations as a result of waiting for trucks to go by.
