The Benefits of Esports
Not Just Gaming. Team-based Social, Competitive Play.
Esports differs from casual gaming in that it involves traditional athletic structures like formal teams, coaches, focus on communication, and more. While it doesn't take place on a field, properly organized esports competition promotes social skills like teamwork, personal skills like sportsmanship, and helps players develop similar to traditional athletics.

I feel extremely blessed most certainly. It has been absolutely incredible to receive a scholarship offer for playing a game I love - it's like a dream come true. I'm definitely going to be keeping up on GYO.

Rocket League Scholarship
You never will really succeed if you keep hanging back. You got to go out and try things. You can’t always be skeptical about everything you see.

Smite Scholarship
This is a good opportunity to get into the league scene and hopefully go pro, but also a great chance to get my college degree.
If you feel like you want to pursue this, then you really have to take that leap of faith and play to your best abilities.

League of Legends Scholarship
It was really cool to get these offers from both these places. I never really had that before. And if there were any opportunity to make something of my talents and video games, I would be all for it. I’m going to enjoy it while I can and earn my degree.
There’s no real downside to it (GYO). If you're going to be playing the game anyways, might as well get something out of it!

League of Legends Scholarship
I was SHOCKED! I didn’t think I even did this properly; I didn’t think I was going to get anything from this. Fast forward, and I woke up to an email that I had someone trying to contact me!
When I played ranked, I would occasionally get contacted by college recruiter, but nothing would happen. But through GYO, it's really good because it allows them to come see you and directly see your stats and find easier ways to contact me. It really helps your name get out there.

League of Legends Scholarship
Before GYO, I only opened my own doors to competing at my university. However, after one semester, I decided I needed a new home. GYO was a bridge for me to get my talent out of my box, and into the eyes of many.
I got contacted by five coaches for a number of colleges. Thank you GYO for helping me view myself in a new way and opening doors I couldn’t by myself.

Show them! It doesn’t take much time! All you got to do is log on, play a few games, and your stats will speak for themselves! When you have places like GYO, take advantage of that!
The little time I have to play games, it definitely worth the time to invest in sites like GYO.
