esport wasn't ever really taken seriously by people for a long time... Untill recently big team names started popping up in esport like Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, Milwaukee Bucks, the Golden State Warriors,...
And so it continues.
But why do big NBA teams like this starting to show interest in to esport? Because money ofcourse! There are big bucks right there to grap. According to research the global esport market will be expected to grow up to 1.2 billion dollars by 2019.
Across world wide there are around the 200mil viewers every year and those are mostly around 18-35 year old people. And this is amazing for those big brands. They want to hit this target and have them as loyal costumers. And hitting this target is really hard with the standard advertisements. People now days gave up on television and rather go online.
There are people still laughing about esport and calling it not a sport but the intensity of the games, the work the players put in. Players live together in houses called "Gaming houses" to build up a stronger band with each other and become closer that they have the same way of thinking and coordination inside the game. They get food, training program, manager, trainer, analyst,...
esport became much more than just a sport, it became the players lives and dreams.
Thanks for reading it all the way! You guys are my fav!
