growing global phenomenon. According to market research firm

employed full time, 44 percent are parents and, perhaps most

Logitech and Red Bull as tournament sponsors.

athletes are headset-wearing, energy-drink-guzzling gamers. Top
eSport tournaments now draw audiences that rival the biggest
traditional sporting events; popular midweek live streams routinely
attract more than 100,000 online viewers.

dollars in 2017 according to Business Insider. Competitive
video -gaming - or eSports - is an $862 million dollar market, up
19% year-on-year and will surpass $1 billion dollars in 2017

accounted for 74% of revenue, global audiences are also increasing
as viewership is expected to reach 303 million by 2019. Asia
remains the biggest market for eSports, valued at $328 million in
2016 with North America and Europe with markets valued at $275
million dollars and $269 million dollars respectfully.
