[QUOTE=wauterboi;50134685]There's a lot that goes into both. One is just more popular because gaming is seen as stupid and childish.[/QUOTE] I just feel like you probably have to get a lot luckier on the genetic slot machine to be a professional athlete. Because you have to learn how to play the game well AND have the perfect physical traits. Which is what I meant by the difference. Like if I suck at Counter-Strike, I know I just suck because I suck. Not because my body is completely incapable of doing what my brain wants it to.

Steve Nash doesn't have the genetics to excel at basketball, but he did.
[QUOTE=wauterboi;50134685]There's a lot that goes into both. One is just more popular because gaming is seen as stupid and childish.[/QUOTE] You mean the popular sport where less people watched the NBA finals compared to the League of Legends finals by about a 12 million difference? :v:
[QUOTE=Ltp0wer;50134366]What is PewDiePie doing if not excelling at streaming video games?[/QUOTE] You're missing my point. People don't watch Pewdiepie because he's excelling at streaming, like how people watched Cosmo for excelling at speedrunning. I see where you're coming from (as, obviously, Pewdiepie excels at streaming), but that's not what draws people to him.
this applies for horror games for me; i can watch other people do it because i enjoy the feeling of getting spooked alongside a bunch of other idiots if you asked me to play P.T. by myself id tell you to take a cactus as a rectal suppository.
