I’m challenging you Jeff – what game the
dance dance revelution we could easily
make a list of the top 10 ways eSports
are just like other pro sports but it’s
a crappy title so we won’t welcome to
watchmojo.com it we’re taking a look at
the fast-paced and still relatively new
world of professional competitive gaming
and counting down the five
highest-scoring facts
number five there are over a hundred and
thirty four million eSports fans
globally that figure came from super
data research in May 2015 the biggest
market is still Asia but the North
American market is growing quickly
events are held in packed stadiums and
even streamed online by the American
Cable Sports Network ESPN it’s grown a
lot since the first big competitive game
tournament held in 1980 Atari Space
Invaders Championship and the relatively
minor competitive arcade game craze of
the 80s you do not know the next pattern
coming up in a Tron light-cycle event
you will lose your life the very first
recorded tournament was held in 1972 at
Stanford University for the game space
war the prize for that was a nifty
one-year subscription to Rolling Stone
nowadays with the eyes of the internet
watching the stakes are a little bit
higher Oh
number four e athletes train hard in the
year 2016 the world’s highest-paid most
successful athlete is via who doesn’t
like playing their favorite game right
but it takes enormous dedication to go
from playing a few hours on the weekend
to the big leagues professional gaming
teams often live together and practice
together for at least six and often more
like ten hours per day
add to that commitments that they have
to their corporate sponsors things like
attending promotional events or playing
live on the company’s twitch channel and
it’s more than a full-time job it’s an
all-encompassing lifestyle gaming the
way they do takes incredible focus and a
massive amount of mental activity the
resulting fatigue is a big part of why e
athletes tend to retire from the sport
well before the age of 30
Carmen’s pretty fun right wait what all
we do is stream games 10 hours a day in
an empty house it’s great number three
pro gamers are eligible for athlete
visas then you’re enjoying all the
things in one’s out
is it not Omega the v8 engine in fact
I’m hoping shit pantone Ian do one
chanters ring in 2013 the US government
issued p1a visas which are reserved
exclusively for internationally
recognized athletes to professional
competitive gamers for the first time it
was seen by many as an overdue
legitimization of the sport not only did
the sport have fans around the world
governing bodies and corporate
sponsorships it now finally had
acknowledgement from probably the most
powerful government on the planet in
South Korea the world’s most developed
pro gaming market one University has
actually started accepting serious video
gamers into their department of sports
science alongside golfers swimmers and
baseball players baseball and that ass
the sport number two he at leats have
great eyesight and elderly bodies
really old here you held back or
something no you super young in 2010
researchers from the University of Essex
examined several professional athletes
to determine what effect many hours of
gaming had on them physically especially
when compared to regular pro athletes
they discovered that while their mental
acuity was on par with professional
athletes and their visual reaction times
rivaled those of fighter pilots the
comparisons pretty much ended there one
of the gamers for example appeared young
thin and healthy but actually had the
lung function and aerobic fitness of a
60 year old smoker increasingly though
players are recognizing the value of
keeping fit and some teams incorporate
physical activity into their daily
regimen and right now he’s like pretty
much every day going to a gym and every
day like eating super super healthy he’s
fully the player who changed the most in
lico plans number one the David Beckham
of eSports makes nearly 1 million
dollars per year he found his path in
gaming and he’s marching on this path
there’s almost nothing that that can
stop him Carlos
Ocelot Rodriguez has been called the
David Beckham of eSports for the way he
can like the British footballer turned
his meddling level of talent into a
personality driven branding machine he
supplements his League of Legends
tournament winnings with sponsorship
deals and revenue from the streaming of
his games yeah yeah it’s your year-end
bonus for coming up with HyperX 3 whoa
get Oh believe it man just like other
pro sports though perhaps to a lesser
degree these sports have big money
behind them the latest edition of
Valve’s annual dota 2 tournament the
International had a prize pool of over
18 million u.s. dollars and the winning
team took home more than 6 million of
that in what other sport could a 15 year
old kid from Pakistan like sumail hasan
take home an international title and a
1.3 million dollar check i play about
nine hours a day it needs a lot of hard
work and dedication and into the dear
soul do something useful you just can’t
stop so what do you think is the coolest
thing about pro gaming is there any
satisfaction I don’t see I don’t see any
I mean other than the fact that they’re
making a living playing video games
finally what
