The money in competitive esports gaming has hit new heights as what is a relatively new industry continues to captivate a worldwide audience. Deals, such as sponsorship packages, have risen as demand for the competition keeps on growing. Subsequently, earnings have increased, and stars are being born.
Whether it’s League of Legends, Dota 2, Overwatch, FIFA 20 or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the abundance of competitive gamers is clear to see, and competition is intense. It’s only going to get bigger and better you’d think too, especially with the emergence of Twitch. Youngsters don’t just idolise Cristiano Ronaldo or Roger Federer these days, with the likes of Faker, Jesse Vainikka and KuroKy now on their radar also.
