CBS reality show goes esports … with a twist The next episode of CBS reality competition The Amazing Race will include an esports challenge: Contestants will have to face — and defeat — a pro gamer in Street Fighter 5.
The Amazing Race will make the challenge slightly easier for contestants by providing them with a coach who will teach them the basics of Street Fighter 5.
The Amazing Race airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on CBS. This week’s episode, “As Easy as Stacking Cups,” premieres on May 25.
That may sound like an unfair requirement; some of the world’s best Street Fighter players, including Seon-woo “Infiltration” Lee and Chung-Gon “Poongko” Lee, will appear on the show.
