Although these athletes may not move from their chairs, many of them are still sweating by the end of a match.
More than 4,200 computer gamers recently gathered in Dallas, Texas, to display their lightning-fast reflexes during the five-day Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) championships.
They came from 63 countries for a round-robin tournament to test their silicon skills in strategy and teamwork.
Angel Munoz started the CPL five years ago with just 300 people and a $300 grand prize. However, since that time, gaming has grown into a $9-billion-a-year industry.
