What Is Esports?
Esports, short for electronic sports, is a form of competition using video games. Esports
often takes the form of organized, multiplayer video game competitions, particularly
between professional players, individually or as teams. These days, electronic sports
(Esports) are one of the largest and fastest-growing industries in the world. It has come
a long way since 1972, when the first gaming event took place at Stanford University.

Now, competitive and professional gaming has become a billion-dollar industry with the
potential to grow further.

Esports In Pakistan
While here in Pakistan, the rise of Esports would not be possible if Syed "Sumail"
Hassan, a Pakistani-based professional Dota 2 player. He bagged the title of
becoming the youngest player to win $1 million in the sport in 2015.
Afterwards, Arslan Ash, the Lahore-based Tekken player, stunned everyone by
winning EVO Japan and USA in 2019. He carried on his success to become the
ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) Player of the Year.
As the local e-sports players began to shine worldwide, not only in Tekken but also
in Valorant, CSGO, PUBG, and Dota 2, the government also took on a major
initiative when Minister Fawad Chaudhry tweeted about giving esports a "Regular
Sports Status".
