Regular sports are a hobby. Professional sports takes the player their whole life to be the best in the sport. Michael Jordan didn't wake up one day and became good. He worked his whole life to get where he is at.

Do you use you're eyes? Do you use your fingers? Do you use mental capacity to outplay your opponents? Does your reaction time have to be above the norm to do the things gamers do?

Yes it is a hobby, but if you are paid to do it. And you do it extremely well, you're a professional... Just like when people get paid to compete in Esports events... That, by dictionary terms, makes them a professional. Why do you take such an issue with streamers? It's almost like it insults you personally from some your replies to other posters here?
