Esports: Inside The World Of Competitive Gaming | NBC News
I really hated the last line stated in this vid. You should be pushing the narrative that it’s something for everyone not “nerds who don’t like traditional sports”.
I’m sure there are tons of people like me in that crowd that enjoy participating and watch traditional sports as much as esports.
Yes, you've got to be more open to everyone
As long as both supporters are respectful to one another and respectful to each genre of sports and entertainment, basket ball, football, golf, boxing supporting gaming and esports.
BMACHINe formerly HighLevi ^^^ I’m athletically inclined meaning Ive just always been good at sports and whatnot but I still prefer video games competitively over sports for the pure fact that brain beats bronze... and it’s fun 🙄
well society places more value/money on real sports so you should focus on those first, and esports second if you want. You make way more in real sports
@@Bedenskii real sports use brain to lol
@@wildwest1832 Your premise is flawed.
They do a whole segment on female gamers and don't even talk about Genguri?
Especially when they highlight so much overwatch, it's a shame.
Probably wasn't able to get an interview with her
shes not trash. Here team brought her down. I hope she gets traded
@eThAn JaMeS Pro players said that she was hacking because she was too good lol
Usually, for these types of stories, they'll reach out to a bunch of different people (in this case, famous lady gamers) and go with who is available or who replies. Genguri may have been busy, didn't want to do it, or just didn't reply.
Now that there's money in it, of course the mainstream media's gonna flock to esports.
Well it’s kinda a win win now cuz esports is getting more attention
The gaming industry is growing faster than ever and people who hops on this train right now will make huge bucks in the future. It’s best if you start streaming or making gaming videos right now cause in the future there would be way too much competition for the streaming industry.
But that’s when the real fun happens
6 hours per day is definitely not enough, male pro players practise 10+ hours a day and after that practise, they also go to the gym, they go out with their friends, and keep their social lives as well.
She also has a job, so there's that
Also take into account that nurses have long work shifts and arent always a consistent schedule. I imagine this is why its only 6 hours.
I watch football and baseball but I still love League, Starcraft, and Siege
Billy Murray They have everything to do with each other. Both eSports and traditional sports require a huge amount of skill and dedication to be competitive in. They are both just games that people take very seriously. The only difference is the amount of strain on your physical body.
@Billy Murray It looks stupid to you now but give it 50 years and I'm pretty sure you will be amongst the few that don't consider it a sport.By your logic why don't we call American football dudes running with a ball on a field or playing outside? We don't claim it's necessarily a sport but it is a different kind of sport
[GD] NeKko Any sport that you can do in your pyjama’s eating chips all days isnt a sport. I love csgo and follow the scene but it isnt a sport lol even if they practice and have coaches
@@_KT5 I guess you're right
I mean when you think about it competitive gaming has been around since the first chess tournament or possibly even earlier. Esports seems like a natural progression for the 21st century.
Just a slight thing about toxicity pushing girls away , it's not a female only thing , trash talk and toxicity ( more or less depending on the game ) is universal , I've had teams that were random and they were great , cracking jokes all game and lots of positivity , I've also had games with a bunch of toxic idiots .
Like all of human society you get great people and ew people , also sidenote I've had several games with girls in my teams and if anything the guys playing seemed to be making an effort to be polite
Why do girls need girls only tournaments even in esports?!?!
Mentally, they're slower in reflexes which is a key factor in competitive video games. They have a choice to join the regular tournaments but female pros know they won't win anything when they go there. They're really good but they're not as good as males.
CR0W Women are slower in reflexes?! That's sexist!!
CR0W Lol.just kidding bruh, I knew there was a biological reason for that, but since we want to ignore biology in our modern society and claim that men and women are the same I thought they would not want girls only tournaments, but there's still hope, their brains aren't all dead yet
because esports are mostly men. Its not opinion its fact look at the stats.
Because right now there are too many woman-hating incel dillweeds in the nerd community.
It would have been nice if you would have mentioned Geguri in the Overwatch League. Maybe a bit more background checking on the OW League would have shown you that her team didn't pass but she did compete in it
6:56 "its its a passion, its kind of what i live for"
later "AH! OMG! aha"
Some people here are claiming that eSports are SEXIST. To be honest its a big NO. There are all girl pro team who tried to enter some major events but they just failed, miserably.
anyone know what monitors they use? ive wanmtd rgb monitor
We can thank league of legends for the boom
And many others
I'd say Warcrafts' defense of the ancients is where it started to gradually rise in popularity, but yes league made it sky rocket whether people like it or not
Jack Etienne in the crowd watching his franchise
Is that tf2 at 12:22 man what a legend that gamer is

What is the game name
Female teams: Special Move: Use, female intimidation.

Charisma: -4
Dignity: range of -(x)^2 function
For smol brains that’s -infinity
don't care
I cant understand why bring feminism in esports?
If you have enough skills womens can also be on top teams, there is no need to host women-only teams and events
There is though, men have a genetic advantage so your likely to have less woman competitors conpeteting at the same level. So for that reason I would say it makes sense to have another option to allow them to compete professionally.
Look at the way female players get treated and ask again why feminism needs to be mentioned.
Paul T Sjordal everyone who played games gets harassed and experiences toxicity, not just women. Sure, women experience it to a higher rate, however, every esport is open to female players, just most esport games have vastly larger male player base over female. Males also tend to take the game more seriously and tend to strive to be professionals more than females.
@@tofu_golem Feminist overlook every fact that doesn't fit their broken narrative.
There is no harassment nor exclusion against women in professional esports. These people are professionals, not raging crybabies from reddit. Casual multiplayer gaming is toxic in general, but I've never, not once, witnessed toxicity targeted specifically at women. Firstly, because it's impossible to distinguish gender. How can you tell someone is a woman? By the nickname? One of my male friends uses nickname "TheGirlGamer", so... yeah... you can't tell.
The fact that separate male and female leagues are not standard is a testament to how young and unrefined esport is. No one has a problem when women and men compete separately in swimming, volleyball and what not, but somehow gaming is different? Men have an evolutionary advantage in visual and auditory reaction times. This difference averages or is masked by other factors in general population, but here we are talking about best of the best of professional gamers. Every minor advantage makes a difference. Insisting to pit women against men in gaming is just unfair to women.
As much as people like to believe that hard work and determination is enough to make it - it's not true. Natural predisposition, talent, whatever you call it, is necessary to be at the top of any discipline.
@@tofu_golem The verbal abuse and flaming that comes with competitive gaming is not a gender issue but instead happens to pretty much everyone, not saying its a good thing but women aren't gonna be treated with care and respect by virtue of their genitals and quite frankly if they find it to be such an issue, then it's best they don't bother at all engaging with the community.
It’s like eSports. but Artfight Themes such as Coffee vs Tea, Dream vs Nightmare, Sugar vs Spice, and Steampunk vs Cyberpunk!
LETS GO ROCKET LEAGUE ESPORTS #Dignitas
Guuurrrrl gamuuurrrrs
I wish my highschool had a gaming team. I would have been all over that.
At least mine does, but they censor all the funny stuff 🤬🤬
8:00 at high level play nobody cares if you are a girl.

Esports are allready a Medal Game On SEA Games (South east Asian Games)
Competitive video gaming
Esports foreign in america? Pfh ok
Hehh yeah 😆
It kinda is. In America, it's all about football.
@@electro_yellow9295 American Football isn't football. Its handball lmao
@@youngbutretro4228 factz
Attention all Women who are interested in Esports. All you need to get into the Esports Scene is to get good. That’s it. Really. Practice makes perfect, and that’s definitely as true in Esports as it is something like Football or Baseball.
6:00 im still not conviced why people like playing Fortnite, yes
Maybe ur a nerd
Nice gameplay 👌👏
Whats her insta tho
#maorigaming This Guy's Good 👍
You imagine Shanghai getting to the finals this season and geguri is up in stage and then season 3 we have more women that would be cool
is good till 6:30
I’ve never seen a guy that would rather lose to a guy then a girl or the other way around. Losing is losing no matter who you lose too she’s just bullshitting
This an esports or Overwatch video. There are esports and events that are way bigger like TI, worlds or the major. But all I saw was overwatch
wait 6 hours a day 6 days a week thats ONLY 6 hours.If she really wanted to win she needs more practice
fortnite "complex straregies"
Fortnite =/= an esport
Luminescent Lion It is absolutely an esport. Bugha just won 3 million dollars in the Fortnite World Cup.
im just wondering whats gona happen to the eyes and wrists of our generation in 20 years
Amazingly
11
there are no girls on stage because they are late to the party. in 5-10 years it will distribute
Geguri
foot
We all know NA Dota is a joke.
Halo or CoD eSports? They've been longer than Lol or OW as an eSports.
Halo esports is all but dead, and cod isn’t as popular as an esport because the game just isn’t competitive.
Can you be black to be in esports
Lmaoo black people are welcome too don't worry
In esports things like age, race and gender are all irrelevant. The only things that matter are skill and sportsmanship
Excuse me but Super Smash bros?
Not a huge scene, :/
@@adamushu
Ironically they tend to get more views that most of the FGC.
Every competitor ever:
Oh! you want me to be in the Esports this year? KK, cool, just lemma grab my saddest and cringiest outfit I own. hahaha
Overwatch? Chose overwatch over csgo, lol, dota, even street fighter, this must be a sponsored segment.
liu travis the owl in just one season has cemented overwatch as an esport on a scale comparable to all of those games. Who not choose it?
Overwatch is a good choise as e-sport game to be mentioned but they mentioned fortnite over cs:go. Thats stupid
samnpba Well fortnite is the most popular game in the world right now, you can’t blame them for trying to cache in on it.
@@Josef_1186 yeah it is most popular but battle royale games sucks as e-sport game
They should try going to evo lol
