Additionally, the explosive growth of ESports, which refers to organized online competitive gaming among professional players. The audience can watch the event by either visiting the arena live or online through gaming broadcasters. This sport will soon be a one billion dollar business, with a global audience of over 300 million fans. Several of these ESports tournaments attract more viewers than the Superbowl. PC gaming is growing year after year.
