Atlanta .
It began with Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island in the fall of 2018. A few months later, the National Federation of State High School Associations said Alabama, Mississippi and Texas Charter schools have joined the mix.CNN was recently invited to see to a competition in Georgia between North Atlanta High School and Grady High School, also in Atlanta, at the city's newest esports arena. The venue opened in February as part of the Johnson STEM Activity Center.

As it should be. Esports requires preparation, lateral thinking, communication, research, quick reactions, skill, dedication, a good diet and excersise and above all else training and teamwork. Sounds a lot like what's required for other sports.
JerkyProEsports To all the haters and non believers, do some research on the growth of the industry instead of getting caught up with the 'real sports' debate. There are kids out here making $1000s on streaming, learning to market and brand themselves and networking in their communities.
The dumbing of America continues.
I love simple memes
A lot of Trump followers in esports.
it's not a sport....
🤔
Oh, just stop the friggin world, I wanna get off.....
How Awesome is this?
that is fucking awsome!!!👍👍
They call these gamers athletes
A sport must include 3 things: a ball, a field, and a defense. Anything else is not a sport.
I was born 50 years too early, I swear.
I can see arguments for this but I think it's better to keep physically active and build good fitness habits. It'll be hard to compete with video games.
I can't tell whether it is bad or are Korean game masters trained?Playing games all the time may be boring finally.

It's better than hacking I guess, because that was a sport when I was in school lol. It's easy to play a game, but hacking was always a huge challenge. Gotta have serious skill to hack.
How healthy is that ?
Disgusting.

Waste your time and lives playing games while TrueKorea pulls ahead? No wonder why the decadent west is collapsing.

What? That’s crazy!!!
They should have to run on treadmills to keep the power on. Then it’s a sport
First time I’ve seen real news on CNN. Thanks, keep it up.
Laughing at this or not, you have to realize this is a legitimate and growing business and you can try to find a spot to make money with it.
