E-sport competitions have been conducted since the early 1970s. The evolution of E-sports has been fascinating, especially over the past few years. What used to be considered a hobby became a major attraction to all young children in the late 90s. With improved graphics, better controls, and more features, games began to attract a huge number of players. As technology evolved, these games became available across different platforms. So much was the hype that people were not only playing them but also cueing up to watch the best players in the world play their favorite games. These tournaments were being played on an international level and were being broadcast on television and eventually on the internet. In the last few years, there has been a sudden boom in the E-sports industry, with battle royale games like PUBG and Free Fire being available for free on smartphones with minimal requirements. Although all this did take a hit during the pandemic, the global E-sports community is slowly finding its feet again as the world gradually moves back to normal. In the upcoming months this year, a few of the biggest tournaments in the world are coming up. Read More as follows.
