Video games, long considered a niche pastime, have become one of the most lucrative industries in entertainment. In addition to providing engaging stories and cutting-edge graphics, games have also given rise to eSports – video game competitions watched by millions of people around the world.

However, this rise also brings challenges, such as the dependence on the success of specific franchises and toxicity within the gaming community. Does eSports have the potential to become as popular as traditional sports like football or basketball?
