Esports Teams Established In 2017
Esports (), short for electronic sports, is a form of competition using video games. Esports often takes the form of organized, multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players, played individually or as teams. Multiplayer competitions were long a part of video game culture, but were largely between amateurs until the late 2000s when the advent of online streaming media platforms, particularly YouTube and Twitch, enabled a surge in participation by professional gamers and spectators.

Esports are also popular in Europe and the Americas, which host regional and internati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
