I think it should. Any sportsman who is good enough can go professional. This is no different with gaming. Any sport requires skill. So does gaming. Sports are usually very enjoyable. So are games. Do you see the point I’m getting at? There is usually some kind of championship in each sport. There definitely is in gaming. A game is no different than any other sport. People will say “But games require a controller and a screen. No other sport needs that.” Can you think of any other sport than car racing that requires a car? Does any other sport than football need goalposts? People will say “But you need to be active for it to be a sport.” NASCAR drivers don’t do much. They sweat a lot, and they feel exhausted after the race, but that’s because the stakes are very high. Anyone would do that. Gamers do the same thing. In some world championship, a gamer will fell just like a NASCAR driver does.
In conclusion, there is little difference between video games and any other sport. They’re all sports.
No difference.

Gaming—Those “Whaaaa?” Moments
Everyone who has ever played a video game has found those spots in a game where the player throws down their controller and punches the sofa for a while. Those are the places that separate the true gamers from the passive gamers. Places like that spot in Batman: Arkham City. One is instructed to find the subway station, and after hours of searching, none appears. The player is sufficiently annoyed enough to look it up on the internet, and finds that it is just a seemingly cosmetic tent in the sidewalk. Those moments are the spice of life.
