During the pandemic, I was looking for ways to switch off from constant news and stress. I accidentally stumbled upon a League of Legends broadcast. I was amazed - not only by the game, but also by how everything was organized, how lively the audience reacted. I became interested, started digging deeper and realized that eSports is no longer a niche hobby, but a whole world with its own economy, stars and audience. The topic is covered very well by https://icrrd.com/blog-article/3455/the-rise-of-esports-a-global-phenomenon. It was important for me to understand not only “what”, but also “why”, and this material helped me with this. Now I look at streams and tournaments differently - as a serious industry.
