[@jakkrapatk]

I got into soccer computer games when I was young.
Now I quited playing because I study and work a lot.
But I still watch football matches every week.
I know eSports is a big business, a huge multi-billion-dollar industry.
People can make big money playing it.
They want to go a professional level or even become a coach.
They are playing competitively.
The whole Industry are taking off...
More and more creators, publishers, players and audiences in the eSports scene.

[@2010Tigresa]

I don't know anything about computer games but I get into English language.
