There are some people who do not understand what esports is. For those people, I will explain it.

Esports just means video-games played in an organized, competitive fashion. If played for money, it can usually be called professional esports or professional gaming.

Esports has nothing to do with douchebag commentating or wearing sponsors on your clothing. Obviously, the New York Yankees do not wear sponsors on their uniforms, but you would all agree, that baseball is a sport? Take the same thing, apply it to video-games, and you have esports.

Any video-game played in the fashion of sports, is an esport. That means, you practice, you compete in official matches, leagues, ladders, tournaments, etc., and there may even be a team involved. Everything else associated with esports has to do with the specific organizations or communities responsible for the production.
