From its infancy the 1980s in the form of arcade video gaming, electronic sports (or “esports”) has seen rapid growth in recent years with the advancement in technology and the internet. Briefly, esports are competitive tournaments organized for video game players involving audiences that watch video gamers compete against each other, similar in many ways to the experience of viewing a professional sports event. Esports events comprise competitive leagues and tournaments. Online livestreaming platforms like Twitch have brought esports content to global audiences on a scale that would have been unimaginable in its early days.
