Esports, what is that? More familiar with video games, I asked my sister who among my nieces or nephews are into esports. To my surprise, I discovered my nephew, Atty. Carlos Mangco (Holyman from the classic Mineski) was a professional gamer of “DOTA 1” in 2007 just before he went to law school. As a lawyer of esports stakeholders, my nephew is also a member of the Esports National Association of the Philippines (Esnap). To understand esports, he gave me an overview of its growth in the Philippines. Am I too old to cover esports, I asked. Families of the players attend tournaments so it is a good idea to raise awareness about esports. Honestly, I thought video games was an unproductive pastime for children and teens. Esports are video games but not all video games are esports.
