Publisher's Synopsis
The Big Bucks in E-Sports
Sold-out stadiums, cheering fans, the atmosphere of a major sporting event, desperate competition between the teams for every metre, every goal, every point and for the big performance in the final with the prospect of a lot of money ... You could describe any sporting event with these words, but I am talking about e-sports, a young, modern, dynamic sport that has made its way around the globe in a very short time.
E-sports is still a foreign word for many people and if you hear that you can make a living by playing computer games and that the prize money of tournaments is sometimes in the 6- to 8-digit range, you can be stumped. That is exactly the reason why this book was written. It aims to give the reader an insight into the financial background of this modern, digital sport.
This book is a literary work. Besides tangible literature, many online sources were used, as well as knowledge of the author, which he collected over many years.
