What is Esports?

Esports (also known as electronic-sports) describes the world of competitive, organized video gaming. Esports functions just like traditional sport as top-level athletes are constantly vying for the top spots, and coaches that provide guidance for the athletes and organize the programs. Esports viewership in recent years has outshone the Superbowl, sometimes even by millions. This sort of community support and sponsorship opportunities self explains the acceptance of the new and upcoming sport.

  • League of Legends
  • Rocket League
  • Hearthstone
  • Overwatch
