Stadiums Selling Out 🎮

Video games are no longer a basement hobby. 'Esports' (Electronic Sports) fill massive stadiums. Tournaments for games like League of Legends offer prize pools worth millions.

Top players are treated like athletes: strict training regimes, nutritionists, and huge endorsements (sponsorships).

Streaming platforms (Twitch) fuel this. Casual players watch pros to learn or be entertained ('Let's Play'). Traditional sports (Olympics) are even considering including Esports to attract younger audiences, though some debate if it counts as 'Sport' without physical exertion.
