Absolutely! Watching the best in the world perform their skill in a competition is the absolute definition of sports. To add to your point more people watched the League of Legends championship than watched the NBA Finals. Esports is the next evolution of sports. Over 30 universities across the US are now offering scholarships to gaming athletes to compete in collegiate gaming leagues. I write specifically about Overwatch esports. I look forward to seeing more posts about esports like this. Thanks for posting!

See you around.
