I think the E-sports scene currently IS exploding worldwide. And not just on PC, but on MOBILE.
Last weekend, there was a Clash Royale tournament held in China of 100,000 people. The grand prize was the equivalent of $55,000 US. Clash Royale is only 7 months old (Made by Supercell - Creators of Clash of Clans in case you didn't know).
As more and more games come to exist, E-Sports will continue to rise and rise in popularity. This is not only because of the revenue from Tournament Prizes, but there are many top CS:GO and LoL players that have 1 million or more YouTube subscribers and a large fan base on Twitch.
People will be attracted to the financial aspects, and the 'Rockstar' aspects of this emerging field.
I'm glad to be aware of this huge shift in COMPETITION!!!
Excellent article!! WHOOHOO!

Hey bigedude!
I just wanted to inform most of the people who still don't know what is happening :)
So are you a pro gamer or, just like me, you like the e-sports scene in general?

Oh definitely not a pro - But I make Mobile Gaming videos on my channel on YouTube. I was actually featured in a Clash Royale ad once because of my reaction when I got a Giant Skeleton. Hehehe!!
I enjoy the e-sports scene for sure - I'll never forget watching the LoL World Championships in South Korea on YT - It was basically like watching the Super Bowl!!
Niceeee!
If you will do a post about your YouTube channel I'll definitely read it!!
Cheers mate ;)
