ESPORTS (video in korean)
What is an Esport?
An Esport (example above) comes from the idea of a virtual game being considered a sport in reality, and is the abbreviation for Electronic Sport. Whether you are into the gaming scene or not, Esports are becoming more recognized every day to the point at which colleges are beginning to hand out scholarships to create their own Esport teams as it becomes more popular. The Esport archieve does not just include virtual copies of real sports. In fact, Esports are mostly real video games such as League of Legends and Starcraft. The competitive games that can be played and people can get most excited about such as these globally popular games are the ones that turn into Esports.
In some scenarios, however, Esports are made from virtual simulations of real sports. In this case, the player gets to act as a manager, and in the mind of most or all of the players depending on the sports simulation. These games are usually approved by the sports association that handles the actual professional level of the sport, and real players are put into the games for the players to use on their teams, or play as themselves. Players can build their own teams, or play as their favorite team, and this sense of control over something as massive as a professional sports team is one of the main reasons (among others) people are so enticed in virtual sports. Watching these games is even like watching a real soccer game on a television.
