eSports (Electronic Sports) started by lots of professional gamers live streaming on websites like Twich.tv, a lot of people liked to watched these people play as they found it enjoyable, entertaining and educational. This then grow more audience and soon tournaments on many games had started on these popular streaming websites, The popular team games like League of Legends was one of the most popular tournaments to watch as they would have many international professional gamers participating in these Championship series. These championship series started off with a small group of people watching, Season 1 of League of Legends. Then as the game gradually got better and more players were introduced to the game, the audience gradually became very large. Season 4 had one of the most people that attended the World Championship Series for League of Legends.

This picture above shows how popular gaming is become in this generation. After looking at it, this makes you feel that there will be a new era of gaming quickly that will emerge. Soon eSports will dominate the all the Sports, meaning that the market and audience of eSports will become supremely larger than the market and audience that Sports currently hold. Currently eSports overall is a multi-billionaire business. To some eyes eSports may not be considered as real sports to them but a competition like chess and checkers. I partially agree to this statement because in fact it a competition but between the teams that play in these tournaments. It's the race for the number 1 spot for the season.
