Sports have found its way into every facet of human existence. The growth of the love of sports has also found its way into e-sports or cybersports.
Currently, the global value of the cybersports is inching closer to the $1 billion (U.S. dollar) mark as the market is expected to grow by more than thirty percent this year.
As a result of this high growth rate of the e-sports market, there are also challenges and issues in the market which are now becoming more prominent.
A number of these issues and challenges which are prominent include the issue of non-payment of prize money to the cyber athletes by the organizers of tournaments. This has created the problem of lack of trust in the tournament organizers by the cyber athletes.
Another problem which also exists in the e-sports market is lack of proper relationship management between teams, cyber athletes, tournament organizers and tournament sponsors which can be attributed to the absence of a well-structured and transparent system put in place to address all parties involved.
The global audience for e-sports is also growing. The audience for e-sports globally is expected to cross 380 million by 2018.
In terms of participation by continent and value, North America is the largest cybersports market with an estimated income of up to $345 million (U.S. dollar). The North American region is closely followed by Western Europe with an annual estimated income of $169 million (U.S. dollar).
