Publisher's Synopsis
Team strategy. Quick reflexes. Great defense. Amazing hand-eye coordination. And millions of adoring fans. These things might describe any professional sport in the world. But this is esports, the fast-growing competitive video gaming phenomenon. Just like pro athletes, many gamers have sponsors, earn large salaries, train and practice with their teams -- some even have personal chefs! Almost three quarters of teens play or watch online games each year. Esports has become so popular that it's now a sanctioned high school sport! The Wide World of Esports can help pull reluctant readers away from the screen for a few minutes to learn more about their favorite games. Best of all, this egaging series provides students with real-world examples of STEAM and NGSS standards related to the applications of science.
