Suck at Dota 2 but wanna live like an e-sports star? Ubisoft says: 'Just Dance'

Ubisoft is trying to turn Just Dance into an e-sport, so you can finally shake your groove thing until the break of dawn or until someone hands you a trophy — whichever comes first.

The French publisher revealed recently that it will partner with the Electronic Sports World Cup to hold a Just Dance competition at its championship event in Paris in October for the body-controlled motion game that has player busting a move in front of their TVs. To get into the finals, players will have to compete in qualifying events around the world. They will then have to compete in front of a live audience in Paris — although Ubisoft and ESWC haven’t laid out the format for the final tourney yet. This isn’t Ubisoft’s first attempt to bring one of its games into the e-sports scene, but it’s hoping that maybe this game will find an audience.
