Esports qualifies with the very definition of a sport. As it states in the Oxford English Dictionary, “An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.” It also takes skills to be become a professional gamer/athlete, a player must learn diverse skills and techniques to further their skills just like a regular athlete. Sports are also a form of entertainment, esport tournaments are beginning to be broadcasted on ESPN in the United States and various networks around the world with millions of views. 

Short for electronic sports, esports is competitive video gaming at the professional level. In the same way that conventional sports like tennis and golf hold tournaments for the top players in the world to compete for cash prizes and notoriety, esports does the same, bringing individual players or teams of players together to battle in competitive video games like League of Legends and Overwatch. These competitions are exciting spectator sports whose popularity is sweeping the nation.
