Shows how beta our society has become that there is more money in e-sports than combat sports
 
Do something about it, you projecting beta chuck :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:.
 
More people play videogames than train UFC.
Competition is much tougher with deeper talent pool than it is in MMA.
 
But true.

MMA is absolutely tiny compared to video games.
but it's a different set of skills altogether + it's much easier to pick a controller and git gud in comparison to training martial arts for years.
 
The real sign of a beta society is when there are forum posts made complaining about earnings on other people's behalfs.
 
Gamers are the true A level athletes. I remember when M2K and Armada had that epic duel in the Project M world championship finals. It was one of the greatest sporting moments ever. Me and my roommate were going crazy.

Shows how uneducated and uncritical and complacent we've become when we can make such sweeping statement as you do.
 
Dude, e-sports are a niche thing. Theyre only really huge in countries like Korea, a true nerd state.

Not true anymore. Last week was The International, which was a tournament in the US with a prizepool of over 24 million USD.

Lol.
To make money in videogames you need to beat Asian maniacs that play 18-20 hrs a day being superfocused all the time, without sleeping or taking a dump.
They develop many different medical conditions, from damage to their wrists to conseqences of sitting whole day.
 
A top E-sport player can become UFC champ with 6 months of training. The true A-level athletes go there

Not too different than regular athletes who get injured training/competing.
