Analysis (600-900)
Esports turns online gaming into a spectacular, fun, and sometimes addictive sport. Computer gaming has a reputation for getting young girls, and especially boys addicted, which results in keeping them indoors and staring at a screen all day. But is this the case?

It is a well-discussed topic, and there are many different perspectives on it. The Ted Talk “How video game skills can get you ahead in life” is given by William Collis, and casts light upon the good sides of esports, such as the sense of community and inclusivity it involves. Overall, he demands that esports are regarded with respect.

Collis starts his speech by demanding this respect, while referring to Lionel Messi, the well-known football player, and talking about his athletic prowess, which is ‘revered’ and admired in the whole world.

This leads us to his point, which is that esports requires just as many skills as traditional sports (like football), while still not getting nearly as much attention, honor, and respect.
