Different strokes for different folks. I have never been interested in physical sports (Unless my partner's dad is around, then yay, rugby, best sport in the world), or e-sports that much, but my friend had a spare ticket to watch the LCS Cup finals (League of Legends tournament) in Wembley Arena, London and I've never experienced anything like it. You get so caught up in the hype, the baying crowd and the insane technical skills of the players that you can't ever look at e-sports in the same way again.
Been given a ticket to watch New Zeland All-Blacks play this year, maybe the same thing will happen and I'll enjoy rugby more, who knows.
