  • Mobile eSports 101: The past, present and future of an industry on the rise

    There are three principal components of an eSport: competition, organised tournaments and spectatorship. From the first competitive video game events in the 1970s to the widely viewed tournaments today, eSports have evolved over the past 50 years to become a popular subset of the gaming industry.

    However, the industry hasn’t finished developing yet – it’s constantly progressing and broadening to encompass more content, developers, and platforms.

    In fact, with 2.6 billion mobile gamers worldwide, mobile is the most popular gaming platform in history.

    This session provides an introduction to mobile eSports, the history of the space, and practical insights for mobile game developers looking to tap into this burgeoning industry.
