Esports: Inside the relentless training of professional gaming stars

Respect to the parents supporting their kids dreams💯🗣️

I wonder how many stories an outlet like CBS does on video games that isn't about a negative aspect of them.

It is not a sport. It is a pastime. You sit at a console for hours and are glued to a screen. People who play games are not athletes. If you want to warm up. Good old fashioned physical exercise is still good

Crazy them 40year old virgins

Looks like a good investment 💰 for the to make a few. Gear. Uniform with advertising for products. Groups. Maybe city or State from. Prizes 🏆🥇🥈🥉. Just a idea but who knows 🤔. 💵🎮🕹️💰👾💵🔫🤑😎

mi amigo podría dedicarse a esto, (faramir jugando 300 horas) realmente es muy bueno y disfruta mucho jugar videojuegos. Me gustaría que en mi país hubiesen este tipo de oportunidades. Hay chicos con muchos talentos y múltiples habilidades que se deberían relucir alrededor del mundo. Muchos de estos talentos son apagados por las personas en su alrededor incluido sus propios padres. Es un orgullo la perseverancia y disciplina de estos chicos !!!

Shout-out to the supportive Dad/Mom!

so what happened now with connor dang vu? did he achieved his dreams to be esport player supported by his parents?

amazing documentary i love it, i want to be doublelift i wanna be a gamer

Living in scotland, theres no esports or teams i can join :(

Esports is just pathetic. Playing for 9 hours is not grinding. They’re just trying to validate an addiction, trying to validate years of inactivity and laziness by calling themselves “athletes”

Op

lmao look at how skinny sinatraa used to be

bro said if he was "mentally and physically ready" for 6-7 hours when most gamers game for like 10+

My Hello’s 🎉

Let's take a moment to appreciate how much time and effort he puts into his content for us. Love the videos!

8 hrs lol..bro try 12 hrs and 5 each day on weekday.. pathetic

Wish I had this type of support when I was young now I’m 25 arguing with my wife about me streaming and trying to follow my dreams it’s such a stressful thing

This has to be a joke😭😹

i'm keep saying in your face baby boomer including millennium up people do not understand that technology including new things

seems like it just becomes like any other job

Talking about ESports but no single clip or word about DOTA. Yeah

E-sport will destroy our next generation both health and education. The impact of e sports is already visible in our parks and sports centres. There are fewer youths come to play outside as they addicted to these online games. For the sake of few pounds for the treasury they just ruin our kids future by allowing every fortnight launching new games. It's a crime not to ban online games.

I came here because of the novel that I read about e-sport and now I deeply fallen in love with e-sport so I'm a new fan here hahaha😂

Gaming is the best!

It is now clear that at its core any upbringing boils down to goading one's child to make money. What you do for that is irrelevant.

I respect those who are in the Esports industry, it is not an easy job.

NA OMEGALUL

i play 18 to 20 hrs...everyday for almost 8/10 yrs..i guess i need to go back to past..i guess i m more than AI.😂

The dad heard $$$$$$

❤❤

“They think we’re just nerds” you are 😂😂 but so are they ! They just hide it !! Same cool guys making fun of you play cod and 2k 4-8 hours a day mics yelling game slang and all

E-sports is moneys

Tough grass omg.

Gamers do physical work and meditate and for eye blink more it help a lot

Every it people spend more hours who talk about that

HOLD UP!! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY PLAYING VIDEO GAMES?!! 😳🤯. I CANT BELIEVE IVE BEEN LIED TO MY WHOOOLE LIFE AS A KID! I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WORST THING TO EVER DO!😱😩

Lmao my parents always said nobody could make money off of games, let alone 6 figure salary’s

although i think parents should support they're kid. 9/10 kids who wanna be a "pro/streamer" are god awful

Literally this is the best insight into the esport industry than ever before., it provides a new perspective of a subject in dispute.

Crazy, because back then I was a TOP 500 Overwatch player. Due to an injury on my elbow, I lost my natural ability of fluid movements. Before that I played for a lot prize money as a high schooler getting anywhere between $150-500 per tournament. Tallying up my earnings it ended up being 9,275 USD in less than 8 months. It may not seem like a lot compared to what players make now as professionals, but for a higher schooler who played over 75+ tournaments I can say it took a toll and it wasn't even "pro." I wanted to hit pro and go higher when I graduated high school due to that injury it crippled me not only physically... more mentally. You could see yourself get worse, worse, and worse as time goes by. The burnout is super serious which is why I support Esports whenever I can. Later, this year my college will have a team as well so I'm hoping to see tryouts. Very good article! Please do more!

Respect to parents who support their child's passion and dreams, and the gamers who work so hard to achieve their dreams in e-Sports, amidst misconceptions, discriminations and prejudice. Also I hope esport will get more popular and that people understand how hard it is to be great at it because of the big competition.

Disappointed that the Starcraft series was not mentioned.
1) It’s the longest running esport game, starting in 1998.
2) It’s ranked #1 in popularity for the RTS genre.
3) It is often considered the most difficult (highest theoretical skill cap) eSport game in the world with its wide variety of skills required like APM, multitasking, reaction time, precision, game awareness.

Esport gamer be like:

I cant shoot coach i caaaant! I juat caant!

Coach: thats ok son... let me tell i about a time i shot soembody

😑
