If you think that picture is the concert of coldplay, the answer is certainly wrong, that picture is The international Esport of dota 2 ,2017 :)
113 million hardcore fans worldwide
147 million occasional viewers
US$252 million in global revenues
a predicted total prize pool of $71 million for all tournaments and competitions.
you think is eSport prizepool ? the answer is NO, these numbers don’t refer to a traditional mainstream sport like football or basketball. Rather, they come from a sport that saw its major surge begin a mere 10 years ago, a sport whose global revenue has already surpassed the revenue of the entire music industry by $20 billion in 2014, a sport that giant brands like Coca-Cola, Red Bull, American Express, Intel and Samsung are vying to sponsor.
I’m talking about eSports – also known as competitive gaming, electronic sports or professional gaming – a type of video game competition where professional players battle for the highest rank and the top prize.
With an rapidly expanding global fan base and an increasingly organized industry business model, eSports has now become a real deal – so real that participants now qualify for the application of US P-1 Visa, a type of visa that’s long been reserved for professional athletes.
But how did eSports become so big, so fast? And what factors have contributed to its growth?
The rise of eSports
Fun fact on the earliest known video game competition: on October 19 1972, a group of students at Stanford University competed in an “intergalactic spacewar olympics.”
The prize? A one-year subscription to Rolling Stone.
But the winners of today’s eSports tournaments can expect a bit more: the International 2015 Dota 2 Championship – which took place earlier this month – had a prize pool of over $18 million, making it the largest ever for a single tournament.
Just a decade ago, the first-ever professional video gamer, Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, appeared on the cover of BusinessWeek, with an eight-page feature detailing the rise of the industry.
Back then, the Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) was just starting to eke into the nation’s consciousness. In the five years leading up to the feature, “Fatal1ty” had won more tournaments and pulled in more prize money than any other gamer: more than $350,000. In 2005, he won the big prize of $500,000 at the CPL finals, which were partially broadcast on MTV. Intel was the primary sponsor for the CPL 11-event world tour, with other backers such as Samsung, AMD and Tylenol.
in another fact is Even as children we are introduced to games - as a learning mechanism. And we love playing so much, that when we grow up, we keep coming back to games. And sometimes, the easiest way to do this is by playing video games. Now, you do not need a particular device to install at home and playing video games doesn't require anymore paying fees or spending a lot of money. Because now, we can use almost any device that is connected to the internet.
