The media and entertainment market has some
exciting new avenues for growth in front of them
in the form of eSports. Esports essentially
includes all the competitive gaming that are
played online. This particularly new field of
sports has seen an upward trend in growth
perspective and even their popularity chart is
off the map as the arcade tournaments and online
gaming enrapture the fans. The media
organizations are still in the growth phase and
have shown impressive strides in the past
half-decade.

The growth level could even be so immense that
eSports media coverage could one day be a bigger
industry than the traditionalprofessional sports
and this prospect has created a wealth of
opportunities and created more chances of growth
for the media technology with global
multi-channel distribution playing a major role
in the growth. If media tech companies want to
take advantage of this fact they would need to
develop a deeper understanding of the world of
eSports and look into the unique way of
production and distribution of the content. They
would need to understand there are a few new
difficulties and potentially open doors which
contrasted with conventional games.

Did you know eSports have been around since the
1970s but found their true popularity in the
1990s when games like DOOM, Unreal Tournament,
and StarCraft were the only popular choices? Who
would have thought that eSports which was
considered a unique hobby back in the days could
hold so much potential and would one day even go
mainstream with the potential to be a major part
of the professional sports market?

Upon analysis one of the articles in 2013 PCWorld
written by Andrew Groen analyzed the stark growth
of the industry and one of the most important
factors was considered the economic rise of Asia.
The fact that competitive PC gaming was quite
prevalent in the continent especially South Korea
all but rescued eSports and gave it a direction
of growth.

Now professional gaming is looked at as a very
lucrative business all over the world. Games like
League of Legends (LoL), DOTA 2, Overwatch,
Counter-Strike, and Fortnite have even breathed
new life into the industry with a wide range of
games that are well-liked by the gaming community
with dedicated developers and the consistent
upgrades that are being brought in to keep the
games even more engaging. An example of this can
be seen with how the organizations are offering a
more immersive and engaging feel to the players
with Christmas-themed skins for champions and on
other festivities, more skins are updated for
users to choose from. It is innovative how the
personalization of the content is left in the
hands of the players.
7
Streaming communities like Twitch also took
advantage of the rise in eSports and innovatively
presented a platform for the players to engage
and view live streams of pro players and even
watch the professional gaming competitions live
for free, back in 2017 LoL semifinals crossed
over 80 million in viewership. The growth
potential even caught the attention of brands
like Mercedes Benz, Coca-Cola, and Spotify. Since
the majority of the viewership is actually made
up of the younger generation, companies are
lining up for sponsorships and reaching the crowd.
8
Now how can media and broadcasting companies jump
on the bandwagon? eSports broadcasting needs to
stay similar to regular sports broadcasting in
the broad sense but use more complex technology
and would require a lot of social media promotion.
9
It is time eSports true potential is realized
worldwide, the industry even saw an influx of 4.5
billion dollars in investments and has huge
potential for growth, it is not just a fad
anymore but over half-decade itself has proved
that to be untrue. There is even an
eSports-exclusive stadium in Dubai now. Media
technology organizations have a real opportunity
on their hand to be innovators. Quick, easily
