Esports, they are awesome. But the level of entry to be a pro player is high. Very high. Like you need to be the best in the world kind of high. It is still new and thus only the best are going to make a living on it. There is only so much interest and money to go around. But that is changing fast. When the field opens up more there is a chance that smaller tournament with decent amounts of money can become a reality. And crypto can be one way this happens.
There are a few coins that are looking to get into esports and the idea of some of them is to make esports more accessible for the masses. Why should it only be the pros who lose money :p. You could put a coin on the line, go online and the winner gets the spoils.
One company that made a move to get this off the ground is Unikrn. I almost invested in them. They have acquired challengeme.gg a site that is used for matchmaking for Counter-Strike. And it plans to add more games like PUBG. This is a big deal to make gaming a job if you are good enough.
The question is do you feel confident in your skills to put coins on the line? And if so for what game? There is a couple I think I would try. For me I would take a hundred dollars worth of a coin and if I could not keep playing with that then I should not be playing at all. It is a form of gambling and if you are losing you need to walk away.
