This is e-sports
“In e-sports, like in classic sports, it is about beating one or more opponents according to the official rules of a game or sport/discipline. To achieve this is a mix strategic understanding, quick reactions, precise movement sequences, excellent communication and many other skills required. professionals master these properties to perfection. The level of performance that the professionals reach is just as fascinating to watch for spectators as professional football is for football fans. Based on classic sports, you can also find it in E-sports competitions in large stadiums instead, which will be broadcast to an even larger audience. There are Commentators, analysis, interviews, autograph signings and press conferences. But the infrastructure of the teams is also similar with several trainers and managers more and more to competitive sport as we know it.
eSports are also represented in the amateur and hobby sectors. Clubs and associations are founded and self-organized tournaments or integrated into the game virtual rankings serve, among other things, as platforms to express yourself in one fair sporting competition with other players to eat. This means that e-sports are not just reserved for a few professional players, but a real one mass phenomenon.“
