Over the past decade, esports has transformed from a niche hobby into a billion-dollar industry. What started as casual LAN parties and small tournaments has evolved into sold-out arenas, global championships, and professional athletes competing for millions in prize money. So, what’s driving this explosive growth — and why should you care?

- And many more.
These events are streamed to millions across platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and now even on TV.
