'But mom, video games are my job' - A Doctor's View on E-Sports and When the Line may be Crossed

To me, e-sport is much like any pro-sport... a living can be made but it's usually the best of the best who make it big, and that is not the majority of people. So yes you need to train hard and perfect your game but if sleep is being deprived and the schoolwork neglected then no matter whether it is e-sport or other sport there should be some caution applied.

Highly competitive e-sport, like other sports, is not something one may be doing for decades until retirement But equally, parents must not just be dismissive of e-sports as "just a game". Some good summary at the end of the article which is equally applicable to any passion in life.
