In the recent years, online games have become more and more
popular, and this trend is only likely to increase over the next few years. Online
games are very different compared to traditional computer games, as it allows
multiple players to interact and compete against each other at the same time,
which brings the idea of E-sport.
E-sports can be similar but yet different to physical sport
competitions, both are similar because it only allows best players in their
field to compete against each other and requires strategy and teamwork as each team
member have their own role, however unlike physical sports where players have
to rely on their physical performances, professional gamers are sitting behind
their computer screen and playing games such as League of Legend, Dota2 or
CounterStrike GO.
A career in E-sport can also make a fortune of money depending
on the performance and sponsorships, especially when E-sports tournaments also
offer prize money to the top competing teams, as an example, 2014 League of
Legend World Champions; games were streamed live by 40 broadcast partners, and cast in 19 languages. The grand finals were watched by 27 million
people, with concurrent viewership peaking at over 11 million viewers. The
grand prize alone was $1 million which was taken by Samsung
Galaxy White.
