you sound upset buddy. but lets take a look at my posts first. where did i say the words "Electronic Sports" i call it "Professional gaming". Also please look up the words "talent" and "skill" in the dictionary. Thanks.
youll see that both talent and skill are absolutely applicable to video gaming. heck talent and skill also applies to things like drawing, playing musical instruments, typing on the keyboard and learning topics in school. it doesnt have to just apply to physical sports -_-
you can say the same thing about most office jobs. people just sit in front of computers crunching numbers or making financial models or designing projects.
these professional gamers actually lives too (they are people after all). they travel everywhere (domestic and internationally) to go to different tournaments. they play with friends. they HAVE to play with friends because their friends are mainly pro gamers too with the same skillset. its the only way they can test each others skills.
but even so, most gaming competitions dont pay a lot of money. most pro gamers have second jobs, so they do have a normal life so to speak.
the teenage pros are 15-17 years old for the most part. the successful ones are in the early-mid 20s.
dont assume that just because one gamer in korea died because of playing video games for 3 days straight, that all other serious gamers have the same issue as that guy.
not the point of my post. not everyone is interested in those fields. though to me personally, the only genuinely honorable fields are anything in science. business and law? ehhh
people play poker competitively. some engage in bull riding competitions. why cant these guys play video games professionally? lol
some people want to spend their lives becoming good in a certain game and make money out of it. so? let them! not everyone is interested in becoming a liar, a doctor, an engineer, or an investment banker.
and to those saying "get a real job". lol, as if you have a job or a life thats worth talking about.
do you haters even compete in anything lol? if you do, then you must know how good it feels to become good at something and to beat someone at your favorite game/sport. it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get good at anything. these pro gamers just want to be recognized for their talent and hard work.
