Some may argue eSports as a young people’s sport. Almost all the pro players in eSports fall in the age bracket of 17 to 35 years. This stems from many reasons; some being that eSports is a fairly new field. It requires a lot of time dedicated to it which many old generations would not prefer.

While this shows the pro players are all young, some exceptions are still present. In the world of gaming, there are moments that stand out as truly special. A recent clip of a Wii bowling tournament proves just this.
