I don’t think that’s a good thing because it encourages more young people and children to do it as a job and it’s enough if they do it as a hobby
That’s right. Being preoccupied with e-sport could have both mental and physical disadvantages, including addiction, obesity, raised violence, etc. just to mention a few.
1. It’s true that traditional sports emphasize on physical sports, but on the other hand E-sports requires exceptional hand-eye coordination, strategic thinking, and teamwork, which mirror the demands of traditional sports.
2. In response to question 2, I must emphasize that the E-sports industry, by implementing robust anti-doping measures and a strict regulatory framework, prevents cheating.
3. virtual reality (VR) could create a new era for gamers and gaming experiences. It also creates new and unique opportunities for young and passionate gamers.
Thanks for your comment on E-sports.
Feedback
1. emphasize (verb) something vs. put emphasis on something
2. “but on the other hand” both ‘but’ and ‘on the other hand’ indicate contrast or contrastive ideas, hence being redundant. It’s not grammatically incorrect, though.
3. E-sports requires = E-sports require
