Esports is getting more attention just thanks to pandemic lockdown. I know that it was already big, the first ones were small time lan based games and right now we are talking about finals at stadiums and all that, so we know even before the lockdown it was getting big
Actually esports was always big even before the pandemic lockdown. Alot of gambling sites has included them in their site as well however this is just a new case where alot of gambling site which accept bitcoin also included them.
Dota is still the leading esports game to bet on, despite being in lockdown for now there are constantly alot online tournament that includes alot of top teams to compete so it is very interesting to bet
I didn't mean like esports was something very small that suddenly became bigger. I know that esports was big but at the same time the only reason why it was big was the viewers not the gamblers. Definitely esports had some gambling as well but comparing it to big guns like basketball, football, american football and even some other stuff would be naive, esports was nowhere near that level at all.
Obviously right now they are the biggest because the other ones are cancelled or postponed, which means there is no basketball, there is no football, there is no nfl and the only thing left is esports which makes it evidently bigger than everything and biggest of right now. This doesn't mean esports was nothing and now something, it just means that it was probably in top 10 but became the top one after all of this.
