Playing video games has become a real job now. Players can get a lot of money. They compete, watched by thousands of fans in arenas (竞技场), with millions more following online.

40 years ago the first known competition (playing Spacewar at the US’s Standford University) offered a magazine as first prize. In 2014 the world championship (冠军赛) for Dota 2 had the prize of almost $11 million and 10,000 fans watched live as Chinese team won the first prize.

Last year also saw the first e-sports arenas open in the US and a 15,000-seater e-sports stadium (体育场) in China, the e-TV sports report by sports network ESPN and the $450,000 worth e-sports scholarship (奖学金) offered by Chicago’s Robert Morris University.

If you’re over 30, you probably don’t, directly, unless you happen to be a fanatical (狂热的) player of the most popular e-sports games. But your children or grandchildren do. They know the players by their gaming handles (用户名) and hope to follow their heroes into a gaming world.
