What is eSports
First before that’s answered,lets take a look at the beginnings of competitive gaming,which has been around a lot longer before true eSports.
In the early 80s the U.S National Video Game Team was founded and the team competed in 7 games:Sinistar,Congo Bongo,Star Trek,Spike's Peak,Mario Bro's,Bubbles and Buck Rogers.
In 1990 Nintendo held their World Championships,touring across America,Blockbuster also ran their own World Game Championships in the early 90’s with games such as NBA Jam and Virtua Racing.
Gaming in the late 90s,the Internet Era
Enter in the Quake era,Dennis Fong aka ‘Thresh’ wins John Carmack’s Ferrari in a tournament.The CPL (Cyberathlete Professional League) was founded by the now out of business Angel Munoz.
So what do all of the above have in common?They are all video game competitions with cash prizes,tournaments & leagues backed up big corporations and companies… that is not all however.Most of the early competitions were huge marketing campaigns.
Early online competitive gaming was sort of an underground sub culture in which only a hand full of people could actually win some money.While some cash prize tournaments were big,they were never something you could quit jobs over,nor was it something sustainable for the long term anyway.
Now in the current era there are major gaming tournaments all over the world with cash prizes ranging anywhere from tens of thousand of dollars to over a million.
Ok,so what is eSports?
eSports is the true form of ‘professional gaming’.It was created in Korea with Starcraft being its game.
Players are paid high salaries by the companies that own and sponsor their team.
They get paid to play,thus their source of income does not solely rely on hoping to claim a huge cash prize in a big tournament every year.
Also like traditional sports eSports draws in huge audiences which number in the tens of thousands and brings in millions of viewers via television.
