Esports upcoming into sports
Recently esports have been on the rise recently due to the growth in popularity. one of the means of growth for esporst is through the streaming platforms like Twitch.tv, hitbox.tv, Ustream, Azubu, You-tube, and gaming live. Another way to tell is that esports alone in 2013 attracted 32 million viewers from league of legends which had double of the NBA's viewers and baseball world series. Esport teams are also getting sponsors like Coke, Intel, and Nissan. Even ESPN3 have covered what is going down like it does with the NFL or college football. As of the BBC guides the US government recognize's esports players as professional athletes, at-least where granting visa's is concerned.
Importance of Competition
Competition does have it's misconceptions of being bad but if you encounter competition earlier on in life being able to experience winning and losing will help face the reality of life later down the road. Some benefits like motivation to achieve a goal, perseverance to overcome challenges and that hard work and commitment leads to a greater chance of success. One of the important factors to competition is that it drives us to learn at a faster rate which helps in performance, and problem solving. Another reason is that it teaches us to take risks, the higher the risk the higher the reward is or the lower the risk is the lower the reward is. an example of this is a win/ lose situation in league of legends where in the IEM Katowice group B stage saved his team by being able to perform an insane backdoor when his team was on the verge of losing. here is the link to that play in hope to further explaining the risk took to win that match.

Regulating Prizes for Tournaments
This is just to show in regulating prize money based on what type of tournament is being play either large scale or small. for small almost everyone becomes a winner in a sense basically no-one is particularly depressed based on what they got, but motivated to improve skill to better themselves. Small tournaments the way where prizes is distributed is best put in the USBA tutorial link. But for more serious competitions say like league of legends, and Dota 2 they do a top four team placements for prizes. The way this would work is that you grab whatever the total pot is say like $100,000 dollars for example. you would put it into this graph of a 100% then brake it down if you don't want to use the USBA tutorial you would do first gets 50% which is $50,000, second is 25% which is $25,000, third place is 15% that gets $15,000 and fourth get 10% that is $10,000.

Voice Actor Topic
Celebrities in Voice acting
there are many speculations based on celebrities in voice acting. one is that the people tend to like the voices of certain celebrities for a animated character. Or is it that celebrities can down charge their voice in a animation. Or that companies are scared of hiring medium or hi-potential voice actors that are not known won't attract people to watch their movie because the person isn't famous. One thing That i know is true is stated from The Conversation article is this;
"stars offer nothing more than a celebrity endorsement and that they are hired for their commercial value rather than their suitability or “fit” with the role."
Which is bad because it is clouding past voice actors achievements that they worked really hard for. Something else it could be is that voice acting is just a very hard field for new people to get in due to whats been made in the past. I'll say this one of my favorite voice actors in the world is Mel Blanc or otherwise known as "The Man of a Thousand Voices" just due to how different each of his voices are with their own characteristics. Like for example the one voice we all heard at some point in our life time Bugs Bunny or Barney from the Flintstones. Something that I learned recently is that he was the voice for Private Snafu in the training film for WWII soldiers. Or is the discipline for voice acting just dying out due to celebrities.
