It probably helps to see live streaming of video games in the context of pro sports.
This was surprising to me as well, until I heard friends, in particular younger ones and children speak about it. Professional videogaming tournaments are big and serious business.
And with that, I can also imagine how watching non-pro/non-top gamers making with funny commentary is in fact a lot more fun than watching amateur sports players do the same :)
