]]> 2024-10-24 17:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sdanny3_1/esportsdebate/wish/3186166431 Pros and cons of Esports https://padlet.com/sdanny3_1/esportsdebate/wish/3186167438 Pro: Many people nowadays enjoy competitive videos games, so making it a sport can help get people connected.


Con: Many people are able to just play the game when ever, and therefore can effect their lives if they do it too much.

Another benefit is anything social related in my opinion. I personally have social anxiety and I end up not knowing what to say but since Esports is gaming related I feel like it’s easier for me to be more socially open to people with the same interests as me and also in esports we learn the power and impact of teamwork.

I spent all summer playing Smash bros, Rocket League and Overwatch and I still need a lot to improve
