[@faniefrikkie6868]

From my perspective (a marketing perspective) I love the idea. It's a whole new massive world of possibilities for advertisers to branch out into. Plus it has created a new market which means wealth to many more. No idea what half the content is about but I am excited about the marketing aspect of this. As for you video: I would have liked a bit more "sparkle and pop" instead of a simple breakdown, I'm sure it's a hell of a lot more interesting than simply being a new sport. Keep it up!

[@GTA5Player1]

Yay, more ways for companies to plug their BS...

[@mynameizmaineimis1880]

It does not mean wealth to many more, it may mean wealth to many others. Goods and services that are the benchmark for wealth must be created for wealth to increase. Otherwise we speak simply of a shift of wealth from a group or person to another.

Today we're looking at what eSports are and discussing their rise to prominence!

[@omegahtv6779]

I Am Your Target Demographic welcome back, I hope everything went well with the move can't wait to see what you have in store for us, your subcribers.

[@blacktasteempire3847]

what you do is incredible bruv, I know a way we can make it better.

[@Sei003]

Your Esports got the wrong spelling though. Please fix it. It's just Esports. No capital S, that's wrong.

[@Scott-fi6ml]

Golf, Billiards (pool), toy tennis, toy football, toy boxing toy, baseball on 51 games and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe all on the Switch.

[@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020]

I knew what esports was but wanted to see a video going deep in detail about this phenomenon. I played games as a kid and then again in my 20s but did it as a past time. Tho with my friends we used to get competitive, kinda hard not to, but we never thought it’d get to be on the world stage. I’m glad that kids have taken games that far, to be able to make money playing games was something none of us ever dreamed of. Kudos

[@wakenow1]

Notice how most of them are physically unhealthy, obese, and undereducated.

[@Fiqnn]

Epic, i'm using this for a school project (TED talk)

[@malcolmlagares8245]

Good video. Thanks for the education. I needed to see this, because I was not 100% clear on the precise definition of eSports, and I think you clarified that for me sufficiently enough. Thank you. 😊😊😊

[@Ghost-zq4qu]

Thanks so much for this video. Helped my older cousin understand what i do. I'm a LoL and Rocket league player

[@zeng58]

I do smash wow and overwatch I will really get better my dream its to be in esports

[@JamesWilliams-tz5fh]

Thank you

[@lynneagarlington8562]

Thank you for the time you are taking to explain esports to people like me, I am not a gamer, never have been a gamer as gaining did not become popular until I was in my 20s however my children became gamers and now I am being asked to teach students about esports and launch a Eastport club in our afterschool program. If you have any videos, suggestions, articles anything that would help me learn how to teach this as well as how to teach me about this would be great thank you so much your explanation today is the first explanation I have ever understood

[@davidbalogun8830]

Thanks for this video it really gave me an overview of what esport looks like. my question is how are these teams promoted? in terms of getting awareness. your reply would mean a lot, Thanks in advance.

[@sinpex2829]

By the people that come watching and sponsor

[@diancloete976]

They're often seen on live streams of these massive esports events and some teams even have members recruited souly for the purpose of entertainment and publicity.

[@user-hc4wh9wh1t]

Now, E-sports is a real sports just not a entertainment League of legend world championship is watched by 100 million people at same time Also, salary of lol pro player is over 10 of millions of doller The system for training progamers has developed very well in last few years Finally, i hope that many people enjoy the game and develop e-sports

[@Anonymous_1945]

My parents never had thought that we will have a Gaming Championship 😂

[@EakiTurtle]

Wow thanks for the video! It really helped me understand

[@hyderabadildarshiv174]

We too have esports in college

[@Roeclean]

I play Rocket League competively and theirs even a esports team at my school.

[@nguyeta3279]

I would like to know the name of the background music used in this video. Thank you!

[@XxDanielaxX]

Watching this video I learned something today.

[@RubenBeen]

Great video! However, please write esports without capital S.

[@adriandoesgaming4333]

[@omaralsaif]

Yes.

[@blazeጸወታታት]

[@lesenfantsterribles2119]

Is Hitman competitive? If yes, I'm a competitive Hitman player

[@akjdhajkdjhaghjkadh9804]

not really how it works

[@GTA5Player1]

I... still don't get it. Like, what is the appeal? Why is this such a big deal? Like, as far as I can tell, none of those gameplays in the video scream: "Woah, this is amazing!"

[@muhammadabdullah3098]

well some sports are harder to understand than others. like everyone understands soccer or cricket etc. then there are more complex games like chess, or F1 etc which only those who know the sport can recognize. for example there might be a legendary play of the century or some crazy genius F1 strat that would leave the audience in awe. but a normal person who dosent know the sport will simply see it as a piece movement or a tyre change. those who know these complex sports can appreciate whats happening in there

[@zaldyloverez5854]

You definitely don't understand it if you don't play the game.

[@AzetheReal]

To expound on what Muhammad said, play the game and you’ll see exactly why it’s so hype.

[@kurapika75]

eSports like Dota 2 , LoL and StarCraft are hard to view at a pro level if you dont play the game frequently. That play at 1:33 would be extremely impressive if you know what was going on, the Faker escape :D

[@michaelchapline6960]

exactly just like when I see football on the TV and think man this boreing 🥱

[@Bloodyninja13]

Can i go to that collage

[@draken6497]

Which game did you play at 1:25

The difference between sport and e-sport is on how many condoms they distributed during the international competitions.

[@BigMacBraaap]

This is so bizarre to me.

[@guss2012]

[@Papajolka]

Lot of kids leaving schools to be a youtubers or esport players...man this generation sucks...

[@kry0mancer6]

Wtf do you even mean?

[@mahamadulhasanbhuiyan2856]

Here in south asia, kids and adults taking these specially pubg very seriously. They're considering it as a career. And idolising those so called "pros". Even children as younger as 11 became toxic, short tempered and disrespectful. Becomint depressed when they lose. I mean c'mon, wtf is wrong with this generation!

[@kry0mancer6]

so people quitting schools to make a career in sports is ok?

[@GTA5Player1]

Seriously? Jesus...

[@Astrovite]

My grandpa thinks esports means video games based on real life sports and he talked so much sh*t about it one day when I'm pretty sure he just heard the word for the first time that day and came up with his own definition. Idk why but it annoyed tf out of me. I wanna explain it to him but Idk. It's crazy how someone can be so prideful in their lack of understanding.

[@MariaRodrigues-bx1ez]

Please Stop eSports because their is a major lose of life & early death to your own life as well as others life

[@excalibur5118]

No, they are healthy to our generation as a new form of entertainment and sports.
