E-sports has been growing for quite a while now, so I wanted to ask some of the members of this forum, do you think this aspect of “sports” can be considered legitimate at this point? I mean, the money is there. 17.8 million dollars spent on the prize pool of this year’s International Dota 2 is nothing to scoff at. I, myself, don’t even play Dota 2 and I am still impressed by this prize pool. Counter-Strike, an e-sport I follow a lot, still has a quarter million dollars in the prize pool for at least 2 events per year. It’s getting pretty huge to say the least. What are your thoughts on e-sports on a whole? People may argue the effort’s not there (within the players) to compare it with other sports, and I know that e-sports may not grow to that extent but the potential is there.
