Thoughts on professional e-sports players?

[Stanly Kwok]

As a former video games addict myself, who used to play 6 - 12 hours a day on holidays and weekends, this post is not meant to encourage people to play more, rather I am asking for your opinions and encourage everyone to look for other things to do than playing video games.

E-sports is one of the fastest growing "sports" in the world. More people are getting addicted to video games and wanting to be professional e-sports players. 

I would like to know your thoughts, e.g. can this be a good thing? If not, how do we stop this?

Considering top e-sports players make millions of dollars each year.

Thank you!

Computer gaming is an entertainment sport.

If you are the lucky one of 0,0000000001% of gamers who get millions by playing computer games a year, you can do that arround 10 years.

It's like the 0,0000000001% of actors who earn millions.

Compare that to just working some random job, where you have no need to starve.

Esports is the fastest growing sport compared to what?
Dont trust statistics you did not fake yourselve.

E-sports is one of the fastest growing sports, by its number of fans and audience in attendance during its tournaments. Not that e-sports is beating any other sports by its total fans numbers by now, but the rate of it growing is high.

I honestly think esports should not be considered a sport at first for the only muscles moving are the finger muscles. So if people just want to have esports then you can do nothing about it because people have the right to be foolish.

Thanks for your opinion 😄
