Hello, name's Iplaythings

This year in school I'm writing a school project in which I will deal with how people view E-sports under the topics "what is a game and what is a sport? (or what disinguishes a video game from an E-sport).

So all in all: I am interested in TL's opinion regarding what makes an E-sport (SC:BW / SC2 / Dota2/ LoL / Sudden attack / Counter strike etc.) are easy to disinguish as an E-sports.

While I do have a general idea, making the project is going to be much easier if I hear someone echo my thougts or tell me something I haven't considered yet.

I hope you are willing to take your time on this

Cheers ~

Competition. Imo it is the only thing that matters in defining a sport. I don't care what kinds of sponsorship, viewership, prize-money etc. If people are willing to truly dedicate a part of their life to improving and competing then no one has any place in telling them that they are playing a game and not a sport.

But one thing that I might have to cover as well is what disinguishes a game from a sport and even that from a play?
Thanks for the response
