ESports

Esports, short for electronic sports, is a form of video games competition in organized, multiplayer venues, both with amateurs and professionals playing individually and/or on teams. In the 1990s, video gaming transformed from a hobby into an organized competitive sport, and is a growing industry with championships and millions of spectators around the world both virtually and in esports arenas. Some people are talking about esports becoming an Olympic sport, starting in 2024 with pre-Games competitions, according to SteamUniverse.
