The increasing availability of online streaming media platforms, particularly YouTube and Twitch, have become central to the growth and promotion of esports competitions. Despite viewership being approximately 85% male and 15% female, with a majority of viewers between the ages of 18 and 34, female gamers have also played professionally.

A vast growth of the phenomenon occurred at the end of the 1990s , with the introduction of large sponsored competitions , also broadcast on television channels. The first professional international league is the Cyberathlete Professional League , founded in 1997 .

Due to the proliferation of competitions with prize money even close to 2 million dollars has led to the creation of professional leagues in every country of the world and the establishment of professional teams. The growing availability of online streaming media platforms, particularly Twitch.tv , has become critical to the growth and promotion of esports contests.

According to a report by Deloitte Global, the eSports sector generated a turnover of approximately 400 million dollars worldwide in 2015 and forecasts for 2016 were 500 million, with an audience close to 150 million people, between regulars and occasional .

Darrell, said: “I think it is inevitable : they will become part of the Olympics […] I will make another prediction […] I believe it will be the greatest sport in the world” . A possibility that was dampened a few months later by the DOB, the German Olympic Committee : President Thomas Bach stressed that the Olympic Games would never consider a sport/game that promotes violence and discrimination. Indeed, the DOB has also declared that eSports cannot even be considered a sporting activity; they shouldn’t even be called eSports but rather eGaming .
