Sport with e-sports

E-sports games are very known these days because many teenagers became addicted in
it and that’s why many people especially parents tend to blame online games in the reason that it
distracts and destroy a teenager’s life in terms of schooling and family. In that reason when usually
someone hear a name of a game such as Mobile Legends, DOTA 2 and other online games the
first thing to think is it is bad for any child or teenager. At first, I have this thinking that I don’t want
learn any one of MOBA games or online games because of bad things I hear about it but things
change when I actually played one of these games. I hear a lot news that some esports title will
join the upcoming SEA Games and I know there are people that is thinking why e-sport games
are in the SEA Games but it is not a sport, I know that online games will not benefit physically but
mentally it has benefits that’s why I’m pro with it. E-sport games became bigger nowadays it can
be your source of income, can enhance mentally thinking, boost up confidence, help to
communicate to other people and last if you want by this thing you can represent our country by
participating in big sport competition such as SEA Games.
I don’t know if many of people know that in playing online games can be source of income
for the players. There are many companies that is willing to pay a team or squad just to play and
compete in many offline competitions like MPL, SEACA and MCL. Lots of famous players are in
this company and many of them confess in some interview that before they are the one who
asking money from their parents but this changed when they become professional player now
they are the one who give money for their parents. Some professional players buy cars for
themselves others buy house for their family. You can also be paid not only by competing in offline
competition but also in live streaming your gameplay in many live streaming flatforms like
Facebook, Youtube, Twitch, Game.Ly and many else.
Playing online games improves the mental ability of the players responding in every action
of their opponent and thinking to counter any attack. As we can see competitive games enhance
the players mind critically in current situation under pressure and improving the player’s
intelligence. In MOBA games any thing that you have to click like skills, and spells has a unique
passive that you need to understand and in this case players should read any of this in order to
win any clashes or games. Let’s talk about FPS games or First-Person Shooter games like CS:
GO, Rainbow Siege 6 and lots of FPS games the main thing that is needed in these games is
faster reaction time that can be enhance every time you played it. Overall online games mostly
focused on enhancement of mental ability not in physical but it’s up to the player if he/she will give
attention in both side or not.
I know it will raise your eyebrows if I tell that e-sport games can raise or boost your self-
confidence but in reality, is it. I watch many MOBA tournament games and every game has an
MVP and he will be interviewed by the caster lots of players that is interviewed are shy at first but
by the time go by they become more confident in their answers. Another thing to consider is
games like DOTA 2 and League of Legends are very popular that’s why thousands of people are
watching live and it will take a lot of confidence to face that number of people. I personally
experience it when me and my team participate in a tournament that is lots of people are watching
we’re all get shy at first but we know that it can affect us in our game so we confidently played the
game in from of everyone. Some person is very shy to face many people like in public speech,
and reporting but like these examples you have to face many people when you join any
tournament and we all know that we can overcome our fear by facing it.
Communication is very important in many things in life like in our family, partner, to other
country, and every people we have to face every day, like anything else communications in
important in a professional team. It very simple if we don’t communicate things become messy
and the result of it we will not like, especially in competitive teams. Players in a team have to learn

to communicate in everyone and the chemistry with the whole team will develop via
communicating or reaching another person in a team. Like what we all know communication is
the thing that bind everyone and lying away any chaos or misunderstanding. We can see here
that social ability of a person can be boost up.
Before you can only represent our country in SEA Games in the sport such as Basket Ball,
Volley Ball and other sports but this year SEA Games opened up the competition for the e-sport
titles like Mobile Legends and DOTA 2. This is good that SEA Games adds the e-sport to that
competition because opportunities open for the players who play e-sport titles to represent their
own country. Be part of SIBOL which is the name of the team that will represent the Philippines
is an honor and I think one of the things online games players is dreaming right now. Right now,
the only one thing that the SIBOL’s need id the support of every Filipino people in the competition
they will face for the upcoming SEA Games. The e-sports are in the higher level now because
you can be in the one that will give our country an honor not only in well known sport but also in
e-sports games.
Playing e-sports games or online games has a different effect depending on the person
that is playing it. Everything that excess is bad like in online games if you don’t control yourself
expect to bad thing not only in your physical but also in your relation with your family. A player of
a professional team is one of the best examples of playing e-sports games in terms of controlling
his self because even he is playing for a professional team, he manages to get high grades in
school. E-sports games can give good financially, socially and mentally effects on a person that
is playing it but all we need is knowing the limit. E-sport games can be anyone’s source of income
that is good for enhancing mentally thinking, confidence, communicating ability and can be
represent for big sports games in Asia.
