eSports Is Real: Why You Should Pay Attention To The Growing Phenomenon

Written by Creator Kaitlyn Beckner

eSports is quickly gaining more and more recognition, in-between selling out huge venues, like Madison Square Garden, to being able to choose your fantasy team and start betting on players.

At this rate, it's going to be one of the biggest sports in the world and actually be considered a "real sport." You can even now earn a scholarship from some colleges for your League of Legends skills — that's pretty incredible to me.

Now, someone like me, who has never been into "real sports" aside from extreme sports like BMX, skateboarding or snowboarding, has always had a love for all things gaming. So it's awesome to see it becoming a legit sport. I love being able to justify my hobby and getting involved in such a huge and constantly growing community.
