What is E-Sports? The term simply explained
E-sports is a new type of sport. Here, the physical activity is rather in the background and is thus replaced by coordinated team play and winning a certain target in a video game. E-sport is so far still comparatively small in Germany, but has already been taking place internationally for many years.
What is e-sports? That's what's behind it!
The "E" in E-Sport stands for "Electronic" and thus describes the circumstance that E-Sport entails. Any discipline is a video game that must necessarily be played on a platform.- The main point of e-sports is to achieve victory alone or with his team in a particular video game.
- Not every game is suitable for e-sports. Diverse genres fall out of this area from the outset and can not be used competitively.
- Known games that have already been successfully contested worldwide for many years are, for example, League of Legends, Dota, Counter-Strike and Starcraft II.
- In countries such as Korea and Japan, e-sports is already operated at a professional level, so that video games are eligible as an actual professional career.

- Auch die Deutschen betreiben maßgeblich E-Sport.
- Meistens treten deutsche Spieler in gemischten Teams mit anderen europäischen Ländern an und stellen international daher Team Europa dar.
- Auch in Deutschland finden bereits seit einigen Jahren regelmäßig Turniere statt, bei denen teilweise mehrere tausende Euro Preisgeld gewonnen werden.
