Video games don't interest me these days, but the spirit of competition is one thing I miss about them. I always wonder what it's like to face the kind of pressure that top performers do.

A couple years back I went to The international Dota 2 in seattle for the first time with a buddy. Its a whole different dynamic actually playing DoTA / LoL vs watching professionals esports teams live with other attendees for 7 - 10 days in a row. The closest analogy to this is watching a football game on TV vs actually going to the stadium and seeing it live.
You get back into the spirit of competition there, since everyone else is, even if you haven't played in years.
Its only fun IMO if you don't go to an esports outing often though, otherwise it'd get dull after awhile.
