I went to a Counter-Strike tournament to watch people who are great at video games win $20,000

The DreamHack Open London digital festival was one of the most highly-anticipated professional gaming events to come to Britain this year - and I got to watch people who are amazing at computer games win more money in one day than some people earn in a year.

Over two days, it held tournaments in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), Call of Duty: Advance Warfare -
Super Smash Bros. Melee, as well as Ultra Street Fighter IV.

I went on the Saturday which saw eight CS:GO teams win their respective national competitions for prizes worth $2,000 (£1,318) to $20,000 (£13,181). 

It was pretty epic. Although, you can't help but be jealous of people who get paid to play video games for a living.
