Cybersport – Digital Competition

Esports is competitive video gaming at the highest level. Discover the world of professional gaming below.

Esports started gaining popularity in the early 2000s when online multiplayer gaming entered the mainstream. This arguably began with multiplayer games like CounterStrike and Unreal Tournament around 1999 on PC, but it was mostly thanks to the Sega Dreamcast and Microsoft's Xbox consoles offering online functionality for their respective home consoles. Toward the end of the 2000s, sites like YouTube and Justin.tv allowed players to upload clips of them playing games, and eventually, stream themselves in real-time. Soon after, streaming services like Twitch introduced game streaming into the fold, which only amplified the appeal of esports.
