Gaming & Esports
In addition to my own personal blog "Bean Talks Games" found here on this site, I've written over 30 gaming and esports related content for Esports Illustrated. This content consists of articles that cover breaking news stories, recommendations for different ways to play games, and guides for players looking to improve their gameplay. This page contains a showcase of what I believe are my six best articles and then a button to view a document with a link to the rest of my articles.
