eSports. What an impact this divisive industry has had on the sporting world, ey?
Is it a sport? Is it just gaming? People will say it requires talent and skill and understanding, much like athletes at the highest level have display. However, others will say it requires absolutely no physical exertion, no real training and relies solely on technology for it to work.
So while this industry has grown massively, is it going to continue to go in this direction? Or will it slow down? Will we one day see a Sky Sports eSports channel, or BT Gaming, who knows! But one thing’s for sure, the demand is there and the prize money is considerable for players with a huge fanbase.
We’ll be inviting panellists to unpick the world of eSports and try make sense of the latest sporting phenomenon taking over the world.
