yes. i was an esport player and i win nothing and broke my arm 1 time because my fkin asshole boomer parents took my money and broke my arm because i wont give them. and one thing. can i kill them?
Football: Considered a job Soccer:considered a job Any other sport: considered a job But E Sports: THATS NOT A JOB! Also I think that E Sports is a job if you get paid to play. I'm not a huge fan of Fortnite but I won't say that I disrespect e sport players because I know that they're way better than me at games.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippodaliophobia are you on drugs? This guy is not a boomer, besides boomers fought in wars and worked hard now our generation are just fat lazy kids who play video games all day
After I finished reading plenty of comments here, I seriously question why you neets or weebs are getting triggered so hard by the adult faction not respecting pro gaming. I am young (20 years old) and play a lot of video games daily too, also on a fairly high level in certain competitive games such as Dota (which is arguably the hardest competitive game of all time), I played Quake, UT, WoW, CS, SC, everything, so I am not biased. The point that you all seem to not be understanding at all is following: gaming is not sexy. You can be as successful as you want in competitve gaming, for an onlooker it will always be very odd to perceive. If you break it down to the non-digital part, which often is just particles nervously flying around, it‘s tons of adolescent people of meager stature spastically twitching around with their hands on plastic equipment. It has no charme, no sex appeal, no class and no reason to be marketed. In my humbe opinion, it also doesn‘t help that most gaming athletes look like a dried aged steak after 4 days in the fridge when you open it at 2am. That being said, I think most CS:GO players are exempt from that prejudicial objective observation, since most of them are very attractive and give away a good aura objectively. You need to understand that there‘s more to life than money if it comes to success. Justin Bieber isn‘t the best musician isn‘t he? Right. It’s the same concept of these mid-life crisis struck men in their 40s riding around with their leased cars to feel accomplished or cool. Money doesn’t approve you, you can have millions and still be a fucking spastic (check out most young rappers). So stop dickriding your teen idols because they make your leisure time activity, namely masturbating multiple times daily in a juxtaposition to gaming in a darkened room on a 30 degree summer day, commercially viable. I know you feel approved, I know you feel a sense of semi-viability but this, this ain‘t it chief. Gaming will stick around obviously, especially casual gaming, but don‘t be mad for the boomer generation trying to maintain mentally sane values in society, for it‘s very important to also have youth that isn‘t just victim to the video game propaganda brainwashing like the rest. I hope I didn‘t step on anyone‘s feet with this objective accurate depiciton of modern‘s society number one‘s pet peeve. I want to add that physical competitions are often also completely filled with clowns like competitve gaming (CR7, Sergio Ramos, Neymar etc) so I think the equation between real sports and competitive gaming is pretty equal-sided and thus this card can‘t be pulled here. Cya on the rift, noobs.

@@frogsecretaryofswamp452 If you have a steady source of income and manage your finances right, you dont need to worey about money. When you are still a child and you get a large sum of money very quickly, it almost always ends badly.

It's way different. eSport is just a fulltime job if you want to do it, if you're bored 7 hours a day, or if you actually make up for a living out of it.
Yes. Lots of jobs and careers consist of people sitting and talking. Doctors, therapists, business associates, lawyers, judges. How do you think information is shared and decisions are made?
you can't blame them really. they were born in a different generation. the thing that is wrong is that they see esports as a thing where you just sit and play video games and you earn money, while not having to sacrifice anything in ur life.
You kids are very ignorant, gaming is not more important than school work. People who do well in school are much more respectable than a loser who sits and plays video games all day. This new generation needs to learn what a real job is.
I respect esports dudes, but like no offense to the Fortnite tournament, it doesn’t really show the best player because of how random it is, so it’s dumb imo
@@adriangutierrez3196 its still an experimentation stage, when they have more robust system then we can see the athelete truly shine this system is just like league when its season 1 world cup where the qaulifier is a third party tournament
Snooker and Ronnie O'Sullivan better comparison I think. Requires precision, focus, hand-eye coordination, mechanical knowledge and just lots and lots of experience. Strategic thinking as well, and keeping cool under pressure. The only major thing missing compared to gaming that I can think of is reaction time.
@@delta22ization Yeah well, the part of the comparison that makes sense is the gap between regular people and the competitive top. The gap that these news reporters and interviewers completely trivialize with their comments, because they understand the physical gap involved in something like running, but not the skill gap involved in gaming. What we really need is to put some of these people in a lobby with some top players, play a bunch of rounds, and see how absolutely dominated they will get on a consistent basis. Give them the esports equivalent experience of watching Usain Bolt cross the finish line while they're not even halfway yet despite doing their best, every. Single. Time.
@@Chromodar I understand if you say; this kid is on a level of esports equivalent to say Usain Bolt with athletes, then yes no problem, but when you compare athletes with esports it's not even in the same ball park. And this coming from a guy that played with both skill levels in fortnite back in the day, now being in a competitive military sports, the pain you go thru in actual sports in nothing to compare to.
@@delta22ization You putting words in his mouth. Like wtf are you talking about. He never said that playing video games was as physically demanding as physical sports. All he said was that they are the top of their respective sport
They make like 70 k per year and everyone needs to notice that sometimes you can win and get famous on RU-vid or twitch to be a streamer... it is insanely hard to get famous on those platforms so really it’s not a job unless you get extremely lucky. I mean most people who play do have a lot of skill like A LOT but you need to realize that it isn’t a job. Mad respect to esports gamers because I would like to call myself a gamer but I don’t think I’ll ever get noticed for anything no matter how much I play. Those sport athletes get a contract which gives them a monthly pay check not just getting 3 m and not getting payed anymore. 3 mill is A lot don’t get me wrong but it isn’t a job. A job is something in which you get paid monthly or weekly this dude more so one the lottery but not necessarily luck, he won it with skill and that’s what gaming is. It’s the lottery. Unless you get put a gaming team with a contract with monthly pay checks.

Yeah, they are pissed because a kid made more money in one day then they ever will combined. It's their job to deliver news, not give their insipid, ans spiteful opinion.
Exactly.. I'd love to see them try to learn and achieve what those players are capable of... petty people who are supposed to be adults -_- they could at least try to be happy for him and what he's achieved
Yeah that comment she made pissed me off Yes just like how people train for sports People need to train for e sports If you stop playing a game for a while you start to slip and your mind is less focused and you have slower reflexes Imagine telling a swimmer to go swim once a month for a few hours and then after 2 years tell him he’s now going to the olympics to compete You wouldn’t but they’d be glad to tell a kid who made more money than they ever will to stop playing video games
Jayden Yiu yea I don’t get why people don’t understand that. If you have the time to practice anything 6-10 hours a day you’ll be good. Also fortnite isn’t a team comprised game, so a lot of things are really based to luck(where did I drop vs everyone else. What gear is here vs where others are) I like games but let’s be real here people it’s the same as saying your gonna be the next Aerosmith.
Jayden Yiu yeah and i think i can be Lebron James, and Tom Brady i just need to work my basketball and football skills. lmao what a close minded dumbass.
Esports: doesn't force you to have a deegree,rewards you for having skills that you actually use Every other job: "You act like you are better than me"
@@boystainey Love when boomers get pissed about kids who win insane amounts of money playing video games while you work 40 years at your dead end job hoping for a monthly check from the government lol.
I've been trying to get into fortnite since the PUGB vs Fortnite era to feel how both games feel differently but my main issue with fortnite to this day is shotguns. That's it, build and kill with shotguns, I watched the World cup and mostly the elims were due to shotguns. What's the point of having a variety of weapons if shotguns are literally the only way to go?
@@onyxxvenom9198 Esports are still in their early phase, and people are still working out the "rules" of how to make the games and run the competitions. Look at the history of "real" sports around the world, and see how much they have evolved from their beginnings into the multi-billion $/£/whatever industries that they are today. There have been scandals, rule changes, adaptations for TV and advertisers/sponsors. Put it this way, how long is it going to be before we start to see doping rules for esports?
“He treats it like a full time job XD” Hold on, I’m not the kind of person that thinks Fortnite is “the best game” but it takes skill to master it. I’d like to see her try to master an Esport in less than a year.
@@averythiccboi2367 assuming she rarely played or maybe has never even played a shooter in her life, would probably take even more then 3 years. People don’t realize even developing the motor skills to move multiple buttons on a controller at the same time takes time. Most of us just got used to it from playing games as kids
They spend years doing 6am to 5pm job and earned not even 10% of it. And probably they think it's super easy thing to do and that kid doesn't deserve it.
@@prateekpanwar646 Well, even if it is really easy, there is only one winner among 40 million, so difficulty doesn't really matter anyways. Being the one among 40million to get 3 million dollars is what is important (but ofc higher skill will increase the chances)
@usernameallreadytaken That's same thing movie people do, It's just they think playing games is easy as pressing buttons and there are no skills involved. They follow news and people in news channels don't know a thing about eSports that's main problem

@@shoxiejesus8969 you have a point but still he did train for it everyday honing his skills for it. Not every job you get on the job, think of it like the monthly pay check

Yeah, and the fact that esports is actually going to be an Olympics category shows how much esports has grown. Let's see how those people who claim esports isn't a sport thinks now.
Well speaking of logically only some people can get successful like that only bugha and some others so for others they need a lotta money for this so for others this can’t be a real job
It is pretty cool that people get to make money and video game competitions like this. But I’m just going to say I would never pre-face this with the definition of sports, because sports requires physical movement and athletic ability. However, we should at least pre-face this with the definition of competition because it absolutely is one and it does make people an absolute butt load of money. Just a disclaimer, I am not a boomer, I am just putting my opinion out here to see what you guys think.
vSaucyy Flickzz Bitch first off I’m not a boomer, second off, who do you think created RU-vid? If these reporter are boomers to you then the creators would be too and your using their tech.
Yea and people that says E-sport is not a sport because you only sit down and Play on computer also says Chess are sport while actually in Chess you also sit on the chair and only moves your hands. Well now because of pandemic there was many Chess tournaments online so it was exacly like E-sport (sitting and playing on the computer)
@@GenjiGencyandOverwatch dumb chess needs heavy mind usage not like crap games which doesn't need any kind of talent just play 1 or 2 year and you'll be a champion of esports (it's not a sport)
@@hollygrapher7574 Wow You need to be very old or jealous to say E-sport players don't have talent. Well let's be honest in normal sport the only thing you need to have is motivation do train and that's all. Yet in E-sport even if you will know everything about for example League Of Legends it won't let you be Pro Player. For sure you could try to be a couch then but to be a Pro Player you need talent as well cause not everyone that plays video games have as good "skill" as they do.
Idc for the reporter but u're rly ignoring the hours of train the boy put into to win this prize so he didn't win this prize in one night and your thinking leads to the same idea of this video that they think anyone can win 3 millions in one night
That’s right, playing gaming and getting money isn’t actually a job, a job is where you work to earn money not to just sit on a computer through out your life time getting money, what do you even learn, on the contrary it might be the only way for those people to get money and I play games sometimes so don’t argue the facts :)
It’s a lot harder to beat everyone else in the real world, you don’t be as remember doing something like this but you would be remembers a lot and feel more better for yourself to do something that helps the world and you+ your family, the way many people make money is a lot lazier and I do not like it
@@aiwanano6507 So you're saying playing basketball and football are more "job-like" than playing League of Legends? Being a professional player in either of those means you entertain a crowd with your skills. Same concept, different platform. What job do you prefer then? A job at McDonalds? An 8 to 5 office job that you slave at everyday? Give me a break, these pro players train for much longer than 10 hours everyday, constantly perfecting their skills in an environment that changes every single day with every single patch update to the video game.
I remember that my sister told me "What do you get from gaming? Do productive things instead" (non verbatim) and I realized I do not earn money from gaming but gaming brought me to have interest in learning about computers, it got me into programming and learned how to use streaming apps and also learned to fix computers which I earn money from it. While I don't earn money directly from gaming, it really pisses me off that people would really tell me to stop playing games.
It is like going to someone who is playing a sport outside of there job because they enjoy it and telling them stop having anything outside of work. Work more.
@@afez2752 exactly! I enjoy playing games and if they don't, people should just shut up about telling me what should I do. Gaming is not even being a drag for my life, I enjoy playing games while taking a rest or thinking of an idea for my school works/project. Like the equivalent of coffee and contemplation.
@@neiljohndecena2275 playing video games improves hand eye coordination and reflexes. It does give benefits, look up the research done on what video games help improve.
Its the same for me playing video games gave me the motivation I needed in order to stand up to my bully and ace my class. The concept of overcoming challenges was so embedded in my by playing games that today I'm a very happy person in life thanks to video games.
Joshua Herron yeah I know he worked really hard to do that. But I just meant the competition lasted a day or two and he made more in that than other people
Tank DaDank they make an easy 100k+ a year. Thats why he said 5 years. Throw in any other extra business venture or shit they own. And they can make a mill easy but yeah they were being dicks and not having an open mind on pro gaming
This reminds me a lot about my parents reaction to me working as a software developer. My parents only have known manual labor and they'd be baffled how I could come how from work exhausted because "I've been sitting in front of a computer all day." and I "haven't done any real work" today. People struggle to change how they view the world. I feel like E-Sports are more respectable than standard sports (not that I'm a huge fan of either). There's just so much more information being thrown at an e-sports player at any given moment than I see in normal sports.
Yes career people are a disgrace to our species.(on the contrary the amish ppl are cool) The pleb masses worship idols lol. Who gives a fuk. they are all lead victims from a time when lead was everywhere including engine exhaust. It's sad but they will get dementia and wonder what their kids did wrong actually it's your fault and your parents for investing LITERALLY EVERYTHING including their descendants into some bullshit like oil and gas and globalisation despite it not understood or proven to be long term beneficial.(to be fair they were under duress as are all modernish young people ) The 1900 and on followed women who followed the media. They were dazzled and gambled and lost on starry speculations. and they want their kids to pick up the pieces for them even though they are street dwellers who want nothing less than to see people dropping out en masse doing diverse farming smart farming craftsmanship animal rearing and smoking mad kush and hey why not opium too lol it came from a poppy I'm down.
Thats the female competitive teams, who download the game and get payed to join a comletitive league. And then go 0-28 bc they cant play, but they got payed
I think it is a job. But it doesn't gain any knowledege and life experience to yourself. Except if you are working for PR product, or any marketing areas it'll be different. That is why this job get that much money but majority of people don't like it. People pretty much like business, art, creativity job using brain to approach expert level, communicating others. Majority like to contribute to st for their country I guess. Like my country, most people don't want to just sit there and spend their life on the computer with million of viewers. They join in military, they expand business to neighbor countries, especially there are many artists in my country love this gaming industry and want to create it instead of just sitting their butt enjoying it. XD in othet word, even this streamer help me earn billion dollar, I'm not interested in it because it doesn't help me experience my life, no challenges will make your life boring, and boring kill your mood mentally. You were born at lv 99, so what is the point of being level 99 without any efforts!?. This is why many people don't admit this is a job, eventhough it is actually hard to be successful streamer. Real life dark soul boss is much difficult than this. Apparently, streamer Daigo share his opinion about streamer career, he considers it is not a serious job, because no nobody want to sit their ass on the desktop all day just like series Black Mirror on Netflix.
crooked kirby you mean giving need to the world keeping people updated compared to somebody playing a video game for money... yeah I think it is a job ( I get they have to train to be an e-sports player and it is not easy but my point is have more life skills, also I understand many news company’s now days are corrupt and are practically gossip chats now, but I’m talking about the real news)
Mace Windu you mean just talking about some random moment in sports when people could just look it up nowadays compared to people providing entertainment to some that enjoy video games over say, soccer and yeah it does seem like an outdated career now.
@@macewindu4165 Lmao reporters age is long gone. They shouldn't even exist now. Fucking cringefucks spreading hate and wrong informations all over and over.
Instead of E sport gamers, why they didn't attack tik tok users that get million of dollar, when they do is just moving their head with stolen song like bella poarch ?
Football player: *kicking balls around the court, gains $1 million a week* Society: "He deserved it. He had lots of training." Esports player: *clicking & moving mouse with fingers lingering the keyboard, gains $3 million on tournament* Society: "Lmao, is that even a job?"
Esports require you to have atleast above average relexes( average reflex speed is .3 secs), hand-eye coordination, atleast basic understanding of the games mechanics and systems and what items do what to what items or players, creative solutions in tough situations,etc. But nope just cause they are sitting in a chair and have a controller its instantly less important than physical sports/any other profession
She doesnt even do anything she just sits and reads a stupid script while esports is more than that and when she mocked esports i was like "So 3M$ is dumb? cause u sit in a chair and dont get 3M$"
“He treats it like a full time job” My man he makes probably more in a month than your yearly salary at your “full time job” They’re laughing but to me it sounds like a couple of adults are hurt that a kid makes more money than them at a career he genuinely loves than them and their pathetic jobs.
I'm literally a multi millionaire....So I guess I can make fun of these pathetic trolls hating on kid with amazing reaction time and coordination skills that they don't have and is salty that they can't make as much money
The funny thing is that the kid that said gaming was challenging,the girl that was laughing her job was actually easier and she probably doesn’t have to manage as much of things
@Logan Botill doom, is nice if you play for awhile but fortnite, I get bored when I play 4 hours of it, idk how but it took people a week to get lvl 100 when I’m 99 and soon 100, it took me 4-5 months plus school to get to lvl 100, it’s crazy
As a parent, at this day and age, you cannot say that playing games cannot get you money... Because it definitely can. What you need to show to your kids, is that the hardwork they need to apply daily to get to that level that you can make money off of playing games. Your kids wanted to be PewDiePie or Ninja or Jack Septiceye or Markiplier? Tell them to learn on recording and editing videos, and how to make good commentary while playing games. They wanted to be pro gamers? Tell them how they need to train for 8 hours straight a day for 5 days a week and during those days they can't play other games. It's basically a whole new career that wasn't available for me, but the hardwork still applies for my children if they want to pursue it.
I just imagine the creators of the game seeing the tournament and seeing how intense it gets and just being like "mary mother of god what have we created"
@Mercb3ast sure the situation is different but in the end it all comes down to entertainment. ppl just wanna watch something thats entertaining to them. Doesnt matter what kind of stuff it is. Even for me I watch esports or other ppl play the game cus I dont get the time to play myself and quite frankly I just dont enjoy them as much as watching other ppl play it. Call me a weirdo or whatevs but it is what it is.
@Mercb3ast He didn't say play the sport professionally instead of watch it. He just said play it, you can literally go outside and throw a football or get a group of friends together to play some baseball. Just as easy as casually playing some video games.
