With Blizzard’s wildly successful inaugural season of the Overwatch League coming to its Grand Finals this week, and League of Legends’ NA LCS in full swing, it’s hard take so much of a glance at anything even gaming-adjacent and not see esports everywhere. In a few short years, esports went from something people only took seriously in Korea, to a thriving industry that attracts the eyes of more than 400 million worldwide. Esports is a serious business, with real leagues and real franchises, with real athletes and real stakes. So naturally, when a game like Fortnite struts out and accumulates over 125 million players in less than a year like it’s nothing, people get curious how they’ll factor in on the competitive gaming stage.
