RE: Announcement of Pro Player salaries with benefits for gamers in team cities

in #overwatch7 years ago

Very awesome to meet you! I have started to follow you due to your subject matter expertise. My boy is a gamer (i have posted some of his youtube video's playing COD black ops 3 and other COD games). I always felt i was born a decade or two too late as i was a gamer first before i played football myself in high school for 2 years.
The exciting part of esports is that it encompasses so many games and the fact that a company like Blizzard realizes the value of giving these kids (and maybe older adults too???) a steady pay and benefits so they can focus on being the best they can is just awesome and hopefully just the beginning. Soon there will be regular leagues but maybe the focus changes or it stays the same with constant updates.
Once the public realizes this is the future, we will see a huge change in coverage (not just twitch, youtube, or wherever you can stream games) and the acceptance of gaming as being a part of our normal life. Either way, thanks for reading my post exciting times ahead for all(even with my grammatical errors, math was always my best subject...).
