e-sports?
Electronic sports, abbreviated e-sports is used as a general term to describe the play of video games competitively. Other terms include competitive gaming, professional gaming (wiki).
Why?
It’s the ESC mission to build a sustainable and diverse e-sports system that is beneficial to all parties involved.
The simple idea that competitive gaming had the same elements of traditional sports and should have a place among them. "If competitive darts can be considered a sport by ESPN then why not e-sports?". An organization that would create amazing events, produce high level content, and support the players who participate.
