Fortnite's successful World Cup proves esports are officially here to stay
Some critics have lambasted esports as nothing more than product marketing. But while esports athletes may not have to run, jump or throw, their training regimens are intense. Kyle Giersdorf practices for six hours a day. And researchers are only just starting to investigate the cognitive abilities required by elite esports athletes
But no matter what your opinion on esports, a generation is growing up with video game competitions as the norm. While a contingency of wide-eyed kids still hope to become the next LeBron James or Lionel Messi, a significant number too hope to become the next Turner “Tfue” Tenney or Tyler “Ninja” Blevins.
