Is this where people sit around watching people play video games

[Oddy]

Yep! But on a really high competition scale, these guys are profesionals. Unlike pewdiepie for example who just sits thre screamin to a camera finishing games on easy mode.

I'd never heard of this until now.

Still a lot of stigma attached to esports even though these people are athletes in every sense and not the "basement dwellers" they are often painted as. Yes I've followed the EU/NA LCS and OGN for the past few years and I dip in and out of cs:go tournaments even though I can't play the game to save my life. As for teams, I'm a tsm/EG fan where league is concerned.

I love the idea of e-Sports becoming a big thing, it's just a shame the games I excel in are not e-Sports yet :D

I do enjoy watching the odd CoD final but that's beyond it, can't stand LoL.

never heard of this before... :O
but yeah, definitely looks interesting!

this does not interest me, actually it'd just want me to play the game.

These people are not athletes. A game and a sport is not the same. THese people are just good gamers.

well chess is considerd a sport, i would say that this is pretty much the same. these players are playing in a big competetive scale, i play these games myself, and would consider those guys masterminds.

Doesn't make them athletes. I play monopoly competetivly, it still isn't a sport.
