Why this petition matters

Started by Ivan Pacardo

Competitiveness starts within ones self, inside our own homes, which then grows into something bigger that includes our own opponents, foes and adversary. We can mostly incorporate and improve ones competitiveness as an individual engages in a certain sport. Sports come in different variety but mostly physical, nonetheless, there are activities online which can be considered as online sport or as we all know it, e-sports.

Ever since video games were first released on screen, we have been dazzled and entertained by gaming. The one aspect which prevailed and lived on throughout is the idea of competitive gaming or better known as E-sports gaming, whereby gamers compete against each other to determine who will reign above and emerge victorious. E-sports is a competitive level of gaming. It consists of teams playing games against each other at a professional level, regularly winning huge amounts of money as prizes.

These e-sports players are contracted to play for various organizations. Just like basketball, volleyball, and football, these teams practice and compete in their respective games just as a footballer or other sportsperson would too. Depending on what game they play, from first-person shooter games like Call of Duty, Counter-Strike to the multitude of other genres like sports titles and battle royale games, there will always be tournaments where pro players compete to be the best and earn huge amount of money as they win. Competitive gaming also utilizes a player's potential and initial raw skills and talents in playing the games they love.
