What Is Esports?

How to make a career from your hobby? Almost everyone dreams of earning money by doing their favorite things: singing, painting, traveling, or playing video games. The last one became an idée fixe for some small group of people in the early 70s.

The first competitions between players in video games were in the arcade halls. Space Invader, Tetris, and Pacman were the most popular games to compete for the prizes, not huge but meanable for people who loved video games and played them well. 
They have started one of the most exciting directions in sport nowadays. It is too long before people noticed Esports separately from gaming, but they were the first in Esports!  

Everything has changed in the '00s. First, people worldwide began to compete in online leagues, and soon, the first offline tournaments (LAN) appeared at the Esports Arena. For those times, it was a revolution at some point. The prize pool of $10 000! Today it sounds funny, but for gamers in the '00s, this prize pool was tremendous. They could prove to themselves and the whole world that Esport's career was real.
