The unusual Sport: E-Sports, How games like DotA shaped its foundation by Christian Lloyd A. Holmes

So... i'm not a sporty type of person and i barely go out. But still there is a type of sport that me myself follow religiously and that is E-sports, Specifically, Dota 2. Dota 2 is an E-sport that has been around since the early 2000's and has spawned countless of active players. I wont go into much history because its a tad bit boring, but ill let you in on something that might interest you. Dota players are now millionaires take for example Danil "Dendi" Ishutin now a millionaire after he won the first Dota 2 International http://www.gosugamers.net/dota2/news/18404-dendi-and-the-million-dollars and the recent winners of TI4 (The International 4) Team Newbee http://www.redbull.com/us/en/esports/stories/1331665899375/newbee-take-home-5-million-and-the-aegis-at-ti4 so as you can see gaming is no longer a joke. some even consider it as their jobs.
