US Military and its dependence on eSports 

For those unaware, US military forces have always used FPS video games for training purposes. According to researchers, FPS games provide a better understanding of combat experiences, pressure, and problem-solving which happen to be some basic attributes of a soldier. Thus, to aid and assist military professionals in a better understanding of the Battlefield dynamics, US services often turn to eSports.

Besides the training program, a lot of heavy weapon systems also rely on video game controllers for smooth functioning. For instance, the US military used Xbox 360 controllers to operate submarines and flying drones because they provide a better guidance system with more agility. 

The eSports industry is surely much more beyond the realms of virtual battlefields. And the Warzone tournament is yet another example of that.
