Recently, I wondered why eSports has become such a popular topic in the media and among young people. I was amazed that this is not just a trendy hobby, but an entire industry with leagues, sponsors, and professional players, just like in traditional sports. To better understand how it all started and why eSports is growing so fast, I read the article https://icrrd.com/blog-article/3455/the-rise-of-esports-a-global-phenomenon. It details the key moments in history, from the first tournaments to huge events that gather millions of viewers. I was surprised how the Twitch platform and other streaming services played the role of catalysts for growth. This article gave me a lot of new information and helped me look at eSports not as entertainment, but as a global cultural phenomenon. Now I understand why it is so important and interesting for millions of people around the world.
