Esports Gaming in Pakistan

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".
