Honestly, it’s crazy how huge esports has become! What started as just us gamers hanging out has totally blown up into a massive global industry. It’s got everything now – teams buying and selling players, huge tournaments, and millions of people watching worldwide. I’ve seen the numbers, and over the last five years, the audience has grown by over 200 million viewers! Experts are saying we’ll hit over 640 million viewers by 2025, and the really surprising part is that most of those new viewers aren’t even regular esports fans yet. The money side is insane too – the market has been growing by at least 20% every year! They’re predicting almost $2.89 billion in revenue this year, and over $7 billion within the next five years. It’s a wild time to be a gamer!
