Becoming an athlete is no small feat, especially for major sporting leagues such as the NFLs or the UFC. ESports is no different from the rest, however, unlike other sports, eSports is more accessible and related to a more broader portion of the public. It could be said that the current pros in gaming made a name out of themselves through luck and skills. However, it cannot be denied that their aspirations stemmed from their hobby, playing video games. Mike Rufai and Mason Cobb, or also known as ‘Hastr0’ and ‘Toxin’s Neighbor’ in the gaming community, were interviewed by ESPN, questioned as to how a life as pro gamers were. ” About six years ago, I was in college and I was playing “Call of Duty” pretty heavily, but just as a hobby. I started getting really good at the game…” Stated by Rufai. “For me, it was back in high school. I would play against my buddies, and I could tell I was a little bit better than them.” Stated by Cobb. Compare to other athletic sports, video games are more prominent due to easy access unlike other professional sports where more factors such as health, athleticism, money, risks serves to dissuade those from making a career out of it. Contrary to the demographics of pro gamers in eSports, contracts and sponsorships are not only limited to males but females as well. Sasha Hostyn, a StarCraft professional gamer saw success back in 2012 in a StarCraft tournament in Canada and later in Battle.net. Though many leagues advertise for young men, soon in the future, it is possible to see women in professional gaming competing against men.
