Is e-sports the most profitable sport?

To measure the scale and prospect of an industry, an important criterion is to see how many people are involved.

In the public impression, there are many spectators in football and basketball games, but in fact, the huge audience of e-sports has already surpassed traditional sports. Mr. Zhang, who participated in the first World E-sports Competition, revealed that during the competition, more than 20 million people around the world watched the live broadcast, setting a world record for the largest number of people watching the competition. With the increase of audience, sponsors, players, competitions, fans and so on form a joint force, and an industrial chain that can achieve a virtuous circle is gradually taking shape.

However, it is not enough for domestic e-sports to do this.

E-sports events need more soil, and like NBA, not only excellent players can earn more money, but ordinary players can also make a living. This is the key factor that really makes e-sports turn from amateur to professional. But there is one thing to be thankful for. In terms of the ability to attract gold, e-sports is actually closer to professionalism than many traditional Olympic events that are struggling now.
