Watching sports has become an event in a person's day as big as the real sports game. The word "Sport" is derived from an old French word called "desport" which means "leisure". Sports is claimed to have been a crucial part of our culture since the time as early 2000 BC. A number of sports, including swimming, gymnastics, and fishing, existed for thousands of years. With the rich history of sports intact, our generation is also responsible for creating new type of sports that actually lets you be physically on a couch or a chair while you participate.
ESports or as electronic sports are a form of competitive multiplayer event where players from all around the world compete with each other in a virtual world using video games. The eSports industry is gaining more popularity and acceptance of people as the time passes and is only destined to grow as an industry. Now coming back to the viewers, although they are emotionally engaged with the sport they watch, they are not actually engaged in the sport itself. What if there was a way to transform the audience of sports and ESports from idle spectators to fully engaged participants?
A REVIEW OF THE INDUSTRY
There are a few different areas in the spectator market to consider before reaching any solid conclusion.
- The Sports i-Gaming Market is a huge market with a Gross Gaming of $38.5 billion USD in the year 2015.
The spectators based on their predictions of the game place bets on a team or on a specific player(s) before the match starts.
The market faces many problems such as
No visible increase in the number of participants.
Millennials are more enthusiastic about the sport than making money.
Reduced interest of young adult due to slow networks.
The Fantasy Sports Market has a history of rapid growth. Fantasy Sports lets the player have their own imaginary rooster of real players of a sport and allows them to be ranked under a given salary cap before the season commences.
It faces the following problems:
- Lacks the growth in Asian and European regions.
- The display of game changers during the game doesn't follow the actual timeline.
- Always needs a constant lookout, analysis, and drafting.
- The percentage of people winning any actual reward is minimal.
- The ESports Market is still in its emerging stage. The players compete with each other in a live video gaming environment. The content generated can be broadcasted to an audience, responsible for the rise of a whole new ESports or Fantasy ESports betting industry.
Now let's visit the problems this industry faces:
- The revenue model limited to the use of only sponsored ads in game streams.
- Complicated and difficult data analysis due to the absence of standardized ES leagues.
- Lack of real-time display of the game scenario.
- No new concept other than a simple game prediction.
