The Future of eSports

The recent discussions and issues in eSports have caught my attention and I thought about the future of eSports.?

Introduction

?In my opinion eSports most certainly have a bright future. Things that are happening now and numbers involved with eSports, such as the number of competitive games, international LAN events and the number of people watching these events, as well as the money involved is something that I simply couldn?t imagine 10 years ago. When you look at it from a certain angle, you will see that eSports is all about people spending their time together on events all over the world, sharing great moments together and most importantly - doing what they love, together with people from all over the globe. And, as for myself, I think this is one of the best things about eSports. However, with lots of money being involved, everything has to be done in a certain way, and that is a professional way. There are many people already working strictly professional for companies, organisations as well as themselves.?The most important thing is - they all have the same goal and that is to expand and develop eSports as much as they can. That is what matters the most. I'm sure if we keep developing eSports, and if everyone gives his/her best, we will grow along with the community we love, and raise it on a different, even more professional level.? - Andreja Mahovic, former Professional Gamer.

We all see that the community is growing and the entire scene is improving, money is involved and people are interested, but is that enough for a bright future of eSports ?

Naturally the people who are interested in gaming are becoming more and more, but I think this can not only be contributed to gaming itself, but comes along with the technical progress.

Yet this does not mean a bright future for eSports ?in General, as there is still a huge majority of people who think Gaming is only something for males and nerds. The problem is that they don?t have access to this community and do not know what it is about. Spending 8 hours in front of the computer is still frowned upon the society, but spending 10 hours on your smart-phone and computer on social networks on the other hand is not. The question ?is how can we, as the community and the scene reach out to the people and make eSports something ?normal? in the modern society.

It is for sure, that this is not possible by just waiting and keeping the status quo, but by gaining stability and professionalism towards the outside.
