Have you ever heard about the popularity of E-sports? Nowadays nearly 300 million people regularly follow electronic sports. Actually, the final of League of Legends reached 36 million viewers, which means more viewers than the final of the NBA or the Rugby World Cup. You can follow them on the internet or even on TV through the most famous sports channels. Also, if you like bets, many of the best Asian bookmakers offer odds for E-sports.

However, not all video games have the rank of electronic sport. They have to meet certain criteria to be considered in such a way. Here we have some of them:

– The game has to involve a direct confrontation between two or more participants.

– Players should compete in equal conditions, and the victory should be exclusively determined by their ability.

– Games have to be popular and competitive.

– Games must promote the desire of self-improvement.

Some countries like The U.S.A. and Germany recognize professional video game players as athletes. Also, the Korean Olympic Committee has awarded the range of Olympic sport to E-sports.

All these acknowledgments have been full of controversy. Since the conception that physical effort is necessary for something to be considered a sport is a common misunderstanding.

Some of these e-sport players are very famous. The Spaniard Enrique Cedeño, better known as xPeke, is world champion and author of the most famous move of League of Legends. He has many fans around the world, is a reference of excellence and dedication.

Due to the popularity of these e-sports, every day more bookmakers are offering odds for e-sports. So, if you are a punter and you want to bet on e-sports, you should contact the best betting agent for Asian bookies : BET-IBC.
