WHAT ARE ESPORTS?
Esports is a term to describe competitive video gaming. Esports games are grouped into different genres. Just like films or TV shows can be classed as action, comedy, or drama, games are placed into categories that describe their style of play. For example, Valorant is a First Person Shooter, while Fortnite is a Battle Royale. These genres help us understand the type of game and how it is played. Some of the individual skills needed include reflexes, decision making and strategy, whilst team skills include communication, teamwork and leadership. Similar to traditional sports like Football, Rugby and Boxing, esports typically has an engaging spectator element and often features rewards for placing well.
