The Banned Peripheral That Broke An Entire Esport - Video

Sometimes a piece of gear does more than just take over an esport; sometimes, it becomes synonymous with that esport. It grows along with it - until, eventually, it becomes part of the culture.

Not only did it turn a chaotic, disorganized roster into champions - and get banned shortly after - it changed console gaming forever.
