League of Legends

I'm sure there are a lot of you guys who have no idea or care about the professional life of videos games. The time of our lives where video games becoming a professional thing is upon us. There are millions of people watching these games online at once. One specific game that is having it's world championship right now is League of Legends. I know this name may bring negative connotation with it since I used to bash on it a lot when I was younger. Last year I started playing it as a joke with my roommate where we would just get drunk and play it. It has peaked my interest since I learned it is a game of extreme strategy and mechanical game play. Being a gamer most of my life, I can appreciate what these professionals are going through and encourage the advertising of the championship. The finals are next week and I could not be anymore excited. These guys from around the world dedicate all their time to practicing such a game. They play around 12-14 hours a day. These guys deserve a lot more than what they get. E-sports or "electronic-sports" is among us and is only growing. I advise everyone to become aware of the times and not bash on video games as much as they are bashed upon since the times are changing.
