It's just an excuse for e-jocks to act e-gay with each other.

basically if there's nothing good in your life and all you do is play video games all day you play e-sports because that's a way for you to feel like your life has meaning when it really doesn't.

i thought i was good at smash brothers on the gamecube. i would play as kirby and huff and puff all my chucklefuck friends into oblivion. then, i went to a tournament at gamecrazy. first prize was a free full-price video game of your choosing. needless to say, the stakes were high. first match, i'm matched against a kid playing as sheik, and by golly, i could not land a blow. he just rolled under me. i turned to attempt another strike, he rolled again. his rolls were interspersed with critical blows. he handily took care of me, i didn't get one kill. i was humbled at gamecrazy and that's my story.

Its actually pretty lame, you get "hired" by this company and they pay you to live in a house and play a game. You go to tourneys to win money for the company that and the company gets the money. They like pay you the scraps and all the managers cheat the system and rig the tourneys. This has actually happened a poo poo ton.

Some people who grew up playing games for children enjoy watching people who are exceptionally good at said children's games. The games tend to emphasize hand eye coordination, strategy, teamwork, and dexterity. It takes countless hours of practice to participate in these games on a similar level of professionals, so most people who watch the pros only casually play the games themselves.
