(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); With the rise of Gaming, eSports is becoming increasingly more popular, more competitive and more lucrative. This year The International paid out more than $10m for Dota 2, which is a huge milestone in eSports.

What do you guys think of eSports and are you, yourself, involved in eSports? (regularly watching streams/tournaments or even participating)

I love e-sports, I enjoy watching WoW, Dota 2, LoL, CS:GO and COD tournaments. Personally, I think its awesome that gamers have the chance to be professional. Its cool because some people can not play sports, but love gaming and it gives them a chance to shine.

I also love watching "Lets Play" episodes on YouTube. I will start making them once I get my Elgato, and/or a new gaming PC. Whichever one comes first.

Nice post, this is a good discussion in general forums.

In my opinion the esport community is nice, I mainly focus on the CSGO aspect of it. I'm currently doing CEVO-O season 6 and my team is currently 1-0. Our second match is coming up next week and I feel we're going to do great, we might have to work on some things mainly T side strats because it is de_inferno and we're not the best on T.

I watch some LoL or Hearthstone streams. Although HS can be boring I watch them for their personalities (Kripp being salty as fuck and Forsen for troll donations and cancer music etc.)

I used to watch some LoL tournaments as well but not really anymore (I really liked season 2 and 3. Season 4 was alright but the current preseason is pretty shit imo) and I liked the old teams better (M5, CLG EU, Fnatic).

Overall eSports is a pretty good thing even though I wouldn't call it sports but more like entertainment or something.

if only there is a eSport for GTA V
