About esports
Esports (electronic sports) is watching or playing competitive
video gaming. Leading titles include League of Legends,
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Defence of the Ancients 2 (DotA
2), Call of Duty and Rocket League. The industry is growing
rapidly, with new communities developing around more and more
titles. The global esports market generated US$493 million of
revenue in 2016 and is expected to make $1.5 billion by 2020. The
global esports audience in 2017 was 191 million people, 80% under
the age of 35 and 70% male (source: Newzoo). Online streaming
channels Twitch and YouTube command the biggest audiences, although
esports events are also now being broadcast on conventional TV. The
2015 League of Legends Championships finals in Berlin were watched
by 36 million people, with a peak concurrent viewership of 14
million viewers, while at DotA 2's flagship annual championship
'The International 2016' competitors from around the world competed
for a prize pot of over $20 million.
