Czy Ty jesteś graczem?

...and you?! Most of us have ever had contact with computer games, video or those dedicated smartphones. Few, however, related to their future, nay, some were not born when the business was already crawling. The players' interest in the competition appeared in the world already in 1972 thanks to the Stanford tournament, where players tested their skills in "Spacewar"! Another milestone in the development of the discipline is the game "Netrek" from 1988 allowing the rivalry of up to 16 players in real time. The aforementioned work is considered to be a pioneer of the currently known form of a multiplayer competition. To be precise, it should be added that the title did not live to see huge tournaments, but it ignited the imagination of the creators and players, which resulted in the creation of an appointment such as e-sport in the oasis. The Nintendo game producers present on the market today have taken the first initiative to bring together professional players in one place. Nintendo World Championship competitions offered not only prestige in the environment, but also prizes and money prizes. Although the tournament took place in the US, the Asian market dominated the market, especially South Korea and Japan. About the hegemony of players from that part of the globe let them testify to the forefront of all rankings of such games as "Starcraft" or "League Of Legends" and the creation of Korean e-Sports Association (KeSPA), which regulates the industry and promotion of e-sport. After a temporary downturn in 2008-2010, it seemed that the market has no chance for further development, but the subsequent sums of money allocated for the winnings and tracking of the broadcast by the audience of millions shed new light on the pro-gamers struggles. The shadow is certainly on their image is a doping scandal, which like any other sport in the pursuit of fame resulted in the absorption of illicit measures improving performance. Fortunately, there is a legal cheering for players and their supporters, namely clothes that are eagerly worn by both. One of the brands called "WearOver" just came to us, supposedly more durable than joystick or raining!
