It's not that bad really, it shows both sides of the argument and says that there is a difference between competitive gaming and gaming addicts. That scene where they show the therapy for a gaming/internet addiction really reminded me of "a clockwork orange" btw. :D | ||

Do documentaries about tennis show 'tennis addicts', do documentaries about violinists show 'violin addicts'? When someone spends all day playing the piano people go 'look how dedicated and hard-working they are', but when they spend all day playing videogames it suddenly becomes 'oh my god that crazy addict'! The MVP one is much better eSports-wise. That said I do think videogame addiction is a real thing, and something worth discussing. But not in the context of eSports, and definitely not in the way mainstream media has been doing. | ||

Sean Plott = Day[9] Nick Plott = Tasteless[9] [9] was actually a very old bw clan with people like [9]eVERLAST in it. Both Sean and Nick weren't a part of it, but liked the tag very much so they used it in their bw times  | ||

But not in the context of eSports, and definitely not in the way mainstream media has been doing. I think you're being overly defensive. There is such a thing as internet and gaming addiction. There's no such thing as Tennis addiction. Of course the problem for those involved is separating addiction from hobby and competition and career. The story doesn't try to draw a connection between eSports and addiction either, in fact it called eSports the bright side to mass-gaming (for lack of a better term). Plus, the prevention center was about engaging with the internet and games without losing control, not avoiding them altogether. Anyways, my favorite part was where MKP's middle school cut off internet because too many kids were watching him play instead of going back to class (crowd favorite from the beginning I see!). | ||
