I don't watch ESPN way too PC!

Cool. They aren't above making a mockery of their network with shows like First Take so whatever. Video game tournaments have a pretty big following.

And? I admit I am a gamer. I have a friend was at Dota invitational last year where winning team got 12 million dollars (split 5 ways). Even 2-5 got millions each. In Places like Korea some these ppl are treated like rock stars. They do commercials and shit. It is big money and only growing. While I would not call these people athletes it def takes skill. If you don't think so, well you'd be wrong.

Much more entertaining and requires more talent and skill than bodybuilding.


That being said, professionals at both sports are complete fucking losers.

The most recent CS tournament had 1.3 million concurrent viewers which is pretty crazy

Games = Popular = $.

Nothing else to say about it, really.

If I made 6 figures (or more) playing video games I'd do it

Absolutley. I would too. But if I could make 6 figures bodybuilding I definitely wouldn't. Maybe for 7 figures id sell my soul but probably not.
