Esports growing as a multibillion-dollar industry

 

Video games are a very good way of people of all ages to relax and play with their friends. Games were created so that the individual could have a fun experience based on the game the developer has created. Video games has been a part of our society for quite some time now but not in the sense of Esports. Esports, which is competitive video gaming, is rapidly growing its numbers and could potentially outgrow traditional sports in the future. The younger generation have a multitude of competitive games that developers have made so that gamers can compete with people from across the globe.” In fact, there will be 26.6 million monthly Esports viewers in 2021, up 11.4% from 2020, according to our estimates. The pop-culturization of the Esports industry has helped power the explosions in esports investment and revenue” (Insider,1). A lot of the viewership and population of competitive gamers are from the 10-18 age group. The explosion of Fortnite made it apparent that kids that are skilled enough to compete with some of the best in the world could potentially win up to millions of dollars or be a signed professional esports athlete with a professional organization playing these games in professional leagues. Here at Sylvania Sports Complex we want to be sure that any individual that has a passion for pursuing Esports will be able to access our Esports Arena. We will have team signups for a variety of game titles so that these individuals could gain that team experience which could propel them into more organized play.
