    1. In the older days, that is literally l

      Delete "In the older days, that is literally" and capitalize "I" to start a sentence that is not so redundant resulted from a poor attempt for emphasis.

    2. The gaming population of Boston College is divided between the eSports club and the Retro Gaming club, and at most other colleges or universities, the gaming population is unified[8].

      This essentially can be its own paragraph. It is rushed to cram a statement like this in the conclusion without expanding upon it. I was trying to say that the initiative for the eSports competitive team should include the opinion of other games if they also wished to be competitive with other schools. The sense of unity here can be definitely expanded. And my interview with Griffin Beels—a leader at Brown University eSports and a friend—should mention some key similarities and differences.

    3. Boston College is founded upon Jesuit ideals and the Catholic intellectual tradition, and the faith of St. Ignatius Loyola.  Such traditionalist views can obstruct the working progress of the modern era.

      This sentence can either be deleted or be expanded upon. If I were to expand upon this idea, I would need to rephrase it in a manner that correctly relate Boston College's traditionalist view with obstructing the progressive change regarding gaming. In essence, the second highlighted sentence is too vague to be persuasive.

    4. the latter choice is optimized in both a timely fashion and the freedom to choose one’s passion.

      I guess that I was trying to say is that before college—probably in high school—students would have time to determine whether if they want to play eSports as a semi-professional career. Since high school is when someone would solidify their passion. And the students are not burdened with student tuition.

    5. The tournaments themselves are really serve as advertisement.

      This sentence could be deleted since it is rather out of place. If I were to keep this sentence, I would need to find an article that correlates these tournaments as effective advertisement. Or, I should insert a basic explanation.

    6. drawn out

      This can be rephrased with better mention for the sentence is rather awkward. For example, "However, with the modern demand for professional game play, the competitive nature of gaming finally presents itself."
