Ryan Chapman, a student of esports and also an e gamer said his parents were “skeptical at first about studying esports or competitive multiplayer video gaming, but now they understand how big the industry is growing, and the pace at which its growing. They’re now really all for it because it’s a great industry to start to get into.” Said Chapman.
