History of Competitive League of Legends

In fact, esports are older than most think. While we associate this type of gaming with the big arenas and flashy tournaments of the modern era, there have been competitions since the early 2000s. In fact, competitive gaming has been around even longer.

Nowadays, gamers have a massive choice of games available to them. From sports games like FIFA 22 to racing games and battle royales, there is a type of game for everyone. Those looking to explore the world of esports for the first time, you will find plenty of options waiting for you.

Follow the Competitions

Once you have established the games you want to follow, you then need to work out which tournaments you are going to check out. There are some that are sponsored by the games themselves, making major leagues with odds and outcomes available to view at many New York sportsbooks, and other competitions that you can follow around the year.

These competitions can be available in person, but many of them are also available to stream online. Due to your own personal schedule, you might not be able to attend many tournaments in person. Live Streams are a great way for you to tune in and check out your favorite games no matter where you might be. In doing so, you will also get the chance to listen to commentary and other breakdowns, thus increasing your own knowledge of the game.

Support Your Favorite Players

In addition to following tournaments, there might be some individual players that you wish to support. Some might enter tournaments as individuals, others might be a part of one of the top esports teams. In addition to their play in tournaments, they might also have streams that you could tune into if you want to check out more of what they have to offer.

Many pro gamers will often stream through platforms like Twitch. This can be a very chill way to hang out with them and check out their content. You can pose questions to them through their live chat, choose to support them with a tip or subscription. Some streamers even run challenges to help create an engaging atmosphere that all of their audience can enjoy.

If you want to check out what esports can offer you, you are going to discover a vast and varied industry that is packed with opportunities. You don’t even have to be interested in playing yourself. As a spectator, you will find a vast array of options for both playing games and following tournaments and players. Since this is one of the fastest-growing industries out there, it means that there are plenty of opportunities for those who want to check out a little more of what is on offer here. If you want to find out what the world of esports has to offer, there will be lots of games and events to try!
