E Sports Are Real Sports
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a regular reader of the ,,International News“ and I took notice of your article ,,eSports are real sports“, which appeared on the 21th September 2012.
In your article you claimed that eSports are real sports. But first of all you have to mention not only the qualities of eSport but also the qualities of real sports. I think the most import thing of real sports is the physical effort and skill. An individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. You can also play it in different levels but it depends on how good somebody is.

In my opinion eSports cannot be regarded as real sports because real sports are important part of everyone´s life, without it our lives would be extremely tedious. Sports have many positive benefits for a person´s body and mind which eSports do not have really. It also creates life-long friendships and involves teamwork. It is true that you have been more concentrated in eSports than in real sports but in my eyes it still makes a huge difference to real sports.

I also have tried eSports for more than one year. At the beginning it was a real fun to play electronic table tennis because you have to been concentrated on the ball and have to move yourself a little bit. But after 5 minutes it got boring because I was standing in front of the television and just moved my right hand up and down. It was not really exhausting.

All in all, I think it is not my decision whether eSports can be regarded as real sports because everybody has an own imagination.

Yours

    If someone asked me, I would say that it is worth going pro. First of all, an eSports player would be making money playing video games. If I got that chance, I would take it. Now, people might be wondering how much eSports players actually make. Billy learned that an average eSports player makes more than an Olympian athlete. Pretend Billy went pro in DOTA. Let’s say his team won Internationals.The DOTA Internationals prize pool is 20 million dollars. If Billy’s team wins, they take home 10 million dollars, split between the five or six of them, depending on if they have a coach. Even if his team placed last, Billy’s team would still take home approximately $100,000. Even the USA, which has the most Olympic medals, only gives athletes $25,000 for a gold medal. Faker, who is widely considered the best League of Legends player ever, has made at least $1 million from tournaments, and rumours are he has a contract of $2.5 million a year for resigning with SKT T1. There are also other benefits of playing video games, which anyone can benefit from even if they aren’t a pro. For surgeons, it can drastically improve their performance in a…

It doesn't have a scoring method or ranking system to say who's best, we do have kids who work outside for multiple hours a day, most days a week to perform on 1 day for not an hour or even half that. Usually, we get Ten minutes to perform our and get off the field so we don't get penalized.…

    Sports, something that in some families never had a bigger meaning besides time and entertainment. Dictionary.com defines sports as an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature.

The World Baseball Classic Tournament happens every four years, yet this year it had an impact like no other.

    There are countless similarities between e-sports and sports so I’ll only focus on a few. So what makes a sport a sport? The definition of a sport according to dictionary.com is an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often competitive in nature. Both e-sports and sports require about the same amount skill but time is a completely different story. Amar'e Stoudemire shared in an article that he wakes up at 8 a.m., eats breakfast, then practice for more than three hours a day. A professional League of Legends player will scrimmage for six to eight hours a day and plays even more without their team, adding up to around twelve or more hours of practice each day including weekends. E-sports athletes are able to practice so much because there is not the same amount of strain on their bodies, but there is still a great deal of mental strain that these athletes go through.…

    The Merriam-Webster definition of a sport is “a contest or game in which people do certain physical activities according to a specific set of rules and compete against each other”. In most cases a person would argue that for something to be considered a sport, it must take some physical ability, which according to the definition, is true. But as time goes on there are people considering activities like pro gaming as a sport, even though there is no physical activity…
