Professional, competitive video game playing—the phenomenon known as esports—has seen double digit growth for much of the past decade. With a massive following, many say it will soon become an official Olympic event. Throughout the U.S., high schools are launching competitive gaming clubs, and even some colleges are offering scholarships to top players.

It’s a dream come true for professional esports players—traveling the world and paid salaries to play video games full time for a living.

But as money continues to pour into the industry, the pressure on these young pros—many still in their teens—is leading to early burnout from high stress, repetitive stress injuries, and grueling practice schedules.

In this episode of CBSN Originals, we follow pro esports players Doublelift (League of Legends) and Space (Overwatch) as they compete for glory, get an inside look at what it takes to be pro, and explore the risks many are taking to stay at the top.

“I'm not just playing games for fun anymore” feels like loss of true purpose of gaming.

Respect to parents who support their child's passion and dreams, and the gamers who work so hard to achieve their dreams in e-Sports, amidst misconceptions, discriminations and prejudice.

Perceptions have changed so much in gaming in the past 20 years. From being a "dead-end hobby" to an appreciation of the serious commitment involved to reach the professional level.

As a big overwatch fan and a person who follows it a lot it was really weird to relive stuff like the World Cup from 9 months ago and be like he was there! Really good balanced documentary. Nice to see media giving esports a fair look now

To be a professional player you need a good pc, good internet and paents that understands your passion. And sadly, some of us don't have that.
