It seems as if the line between electronic sports and traditional sports is getting narrower by the day. After all, there are now arenas where you can watch competitive gaming and superstars are even being forced to. In order to ensure success, players are even going as far as taking performance enhancing drugs. To catch this, many top tier leagues are resorting to using Olympic techniques to find which players are cheating. With prize-pools being much higher than ever, the rewards from cheating are much higher.
Millions upon millions of dollars are on the line each year, which means people can make a living off gaming. In order to win this prize money though, you must be the best, and in order to be the best you have to devote at least 8 hours a day for months, possibly years. This requires a deep passion for the game you are playing and this is often difficult to find.
Wow, Josh this is incredible. The best blog by far. The money in e-gaming is definitely big judging by the devotion it takes to succeed.
ReplyDeleteI have seen many videos of people playing video games for money, it is cool how much money can be at stake. Call of Duty championships is going to have a prize pool for 3 Million dollars this year. It would be nice to win that!
