WEEK #1 THE FUTURE OF ESPORTS
A GROWING PHENOMENON
Even today, people are still debating whether playing computer games professionally should be considered a sport or not.
The truth is – it doesn’t matter. According to the World Economic Forum, the global audience for eSports sits around 300 million fans. That’s now officially enough people to render the question irrelevant. For all intents and purposes, eSports seems to be here to stay, attracting an ever-increasing number of players, viewers, advertisers, and support.
In fact, eSports has grown in popularity so much that it’s prize pool has now surpassed that of many popular sports. According to Business Insider, the US Open (2017, tennis) had the largest prize pool of all sports, at around 50 million US dollars. In second place, sits “The International 2017,” an eSports tournament for the popular game Dota 2. The prize? 24.7 million US dollars. That’s more than the Indy 500 (13.1 million) or the Stanley Cup (7 million).
PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUND BY BLUEHOLE
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is an online multiplayer battle royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of South Korean video game company Bluehole. The game is based on previous mods that were created by Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene for other games, inspired by the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale, and expanded into a standalone game under Greene’s creative direction. In the game, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island and scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill others while avoiding getting killed themselves. The available safe area of the game’s map decreases in size over time, directing surviving players into tighter areas to force encounters. The last player or team standing wins the round.
