Today, titles like\u00a0<em>League of Legends<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Counter-Strike 2<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0attract millions of viewers, with players training full-time like professional athletes. People make whole careers out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/battle-field-early-beta-is-live-and-here-is-how-you-can-play-it\/\"><strong>gaming and livestreaming<\/strong><\/a> from the comfort of their homes. However, they do need dedication and have to take risks to gain enough viewers to get a sustainable income. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scale is staggering: international tournaments now offer prize pools that can exceed tens of millions of dollars, making esports careers both lucrative and aspirational. And while kids still make up part of the fan base, the majority of viewers are young adults, proving that gaming has matured right along with its audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-professionalism-behind-the-screen\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professionalism_Behind_the_Screen\"><\/span>Professionalism Behind the Screen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Top teams operate much like football clubs, complete with coaches, analysts, nutritionists, and psychologists. Training schedules, performance reviews, and even fitness regimes are part of the package. Competitive gaming isn\u2019t about casually pressing buttons, it\u2019s about discipline, strategy, and mental resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/09\/Esports.jpg\" alt=\"E-sport arena's \" class=\"wp-image-18492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/09\/Esports.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/09\/Esports-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/09\/Esports-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/09\/Esports-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: E-sports insiders<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-and-more-adults-in\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_and_more_adults_in\"><\/span>More and more adults in <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just the teenagers climbing leaderboards anymore. Many adults are embracing esports both as fans and as players. For one, gaming has become a shared social experience that connects people across the globe.

Major brands sponsor tournaments, universities offer scholarships for esports athletes, and broadcasters are competing to secure streaming rights. What once seemed like a niche hobby now has the infrastructure of a global entertainment powerhouse. Many popular sports betting sites now also offer ways to bet on e-sports events and the things happening in live e-sports games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For adults, this means esports isn\u2019t just a spectator sport but a potential career or side hustle. From streaming your own matches to analyzing games as a commentator, opportunities abound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured image credit: Wikipedia <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esports have become incredibly big and people now make full time wages off them.
