Video gaming has grown up and the result is “eSports” a nickname for professional video gaming where the top players are celebrities in their own right.
Although eSports got its start in strategy based games in Asia, it's now spread to western titles like Call of Duty, Counter-Strike and FIFA Ultimate Team.
