What works and what doesn't work.
I think that everything on this page is quite accurate, however, there is no actual full citation that states some of the information. I like the way how everything is organized one by one and gives good information about the context. The information seems to still lack some in-depth information. Maybe it would be better to add more to the context about more tournaments and events, maybe even a full list of each tournament and which game and where the tournament took place. Besides that, everything else is well done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.41.197.223 (talk) 18:07, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Page Title Change
According to the AP Stylebook, "esports" is officially written out as that - esports. No capital S, no hyphen. We capitalise the "E" at the beginning of a sentence. Can we please change the title of this page to suit this? https://dotesports.com/culture/ap-style-esports-13789

Prolixity
Polonius, freshman year:
Although organized online and offline competitions have long been a part of video game culture, participation and spectatorship of such events have seen a large surge in popularity from the late 2000s and early 2010s. While competitions around 2000 were largely between amateurs, the proliferation of professional competitions and growing viewership now supports a significant number of professional players and teams, and many video game developers now build features into their games designed to facilitate such competition.
On the Waterfront:
While competitions around 2000 were largely between amateurs, game developers now actively design toward a professional eSport subculture.
I find the entire lead painfully overwrought. There's nearly 400 characters difference between the two versions, yet perhaps 50 characters worth of added value. — MaxEnt 19:33, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Add a paragraph : Sponsoring
![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Hello, I would like to add a text to the article. The new paragraph will be about sponsoring. It is not mentioned and this side in the esport is really important. Nowadays, sponsoring is considered as a new communication strategy and it has a real place in this field (in the sport so also in the esport). Sponsoring allows the player to have a true support from the brand (money, materials etc.) and in exchange, the brand earns visibility. Gaming players are influencers as any sportsman. I also want to add that it is part of the “player dream” to be sponsor by a brand. A well known player will provide a good visibility to the brand and the brand will be associated to this player. It’s a partnership between the brand and the player. This is really common in our times as well as a brand can sponsor a football player or a team. IAEP.CoralieLY (talk) 18:55, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. It will also need to be backed by reliable secondary sources. -- ferret (talk) 19:21, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
- I don't want to change the text but to add a "sponsor" section to the article. This section will be divided into 4 parts -> Sponsoring possibilities (what is it possible to sponsor in esport); who are the sponsors (what are the mutuals benefit for brands and players), sponsoring target, growth and the revenus (USA, Europe, Asia). My sources are writers and online news articles. IAEP.CoralieLY (talk) 19:52, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
- Unless you provide exact text to insert and the reliable secondary sources, I cannot help. Reliable secondary sources will be critical, see WP:VG/RS for a list of vetted sources we typically accept. Major news sites also typically qualify. -- ferret (talk) 20:59, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Sponsorship
Sponsors are in all televised international competitions or direct live broadcast via streaming. The brands can sponsor a player or an event. Since 2016, more than 600 esports sponsorship agreements have been signed[1]. Most of the time sponsored players are paid with benefit in kind: materials, equipments to put forward the brand. When it comes to the events (e.g: tournaments) brands give money in exchange of visibility.
By sponsoring a player, a company wants to take advantage of the player popularity or audience to publicize its products or services and develops its economic activity. Then, the player become a digital influencer and the brand uses the player's notoriety as a real media.
Sponsorship opportunities
Brand can sponsor :
- Professional events, teams or players. The Team Vitality is one of the most famous French teams: 37 professional players and about fifteen titles won. The team signed a partnership with Adidas and the brand also became the official equipment supplier for Vitality.
- Create experiences with fans
- Sponsor or co-create content with streamers, influencers including Youtube or Twitch.
Brands
Until recently, the main companies that sponsored players were close to eSports area : computer science, video games, high tech. Today, new companies are investing the eSports sponsor market : Arby's, Audi, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Gillette, Bud Light...[2].
Sponsorship and advertising represent the bulk of revenues. It is one of the main growth drivers of eSports. It’s more significant and it’s structured budgets for teams and organizers [3].
The brand advantages:
- Be distinguished from the competitors by entering in a new and growing market
- Benefit from international coverage but also local coverage
- Addressed to a young and connected audience who is increasingly receptive to advertising (e.g: adblockers)
The hearing
Sponsorship is a new growing communication tool to a young and connected target. The audiences concerned vary slightly from country to country, but it is a rather male audience between 15 and 35 years old, very connected and active on digital. It should be noted that women are also present in this sector[3]. Emerging streams can be noticed as wells as professional players are more and more numerous. A football community is also present around the game Fifa. It grows by following investments in football clubs. Since 2016, they have invested eSport by recruiting their own players.
Revenus
Sponsorship is growing as investors are growing. The US and Europe are gradually catching up on Asia, which is the largest eSports market. Sponsorship revenue is expected to reach $266 million in 2017 and $1220 million in 2020, while ad spending on esports will hit $155 million, according to Newzoo[2].

Not done for now: I feel like this is far too much content for just three sources. It needs to be condensed considerably. There's also a lot of parts that make me think it was translated off of a different Wiki, including the use of Link Web as a template (We use Cite Web) and odd phrases like "The hearing".

First P-1A Visa claim
The article makes the following claim
In 2013, Canadian League of Legends player Danny "Shiphtur" Le became the first pro gamer to receive an American P-1A visa, a category designated for "Internationally Recognized Athletes".
This is sourced from a LA Times article. However on the P visa page and in this fnatic archive they claim the first pro gamer to get a P-1A visa was Swedish CS player Marcus "zet" Sundström in 2007, when he came to play for compLexity Gaming. Does anyone have any insight here? I can't find any sources talking about zet's time in states, beyond fan-sourced wiki's and team blogs. However, I don't find it hard to believe that mainstream news outlets just overlooked his achievement when writing about Shiptur's visa in 2013. GiovanniSidwell (talk) 12:37, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
- I just did a search and other than fan-source Wikis and blogs, I see no other reference to "zet" getting a visa. Therefore, I corrected the P visa page with the reliable source. Also, zet's info was first added about a year ago and did not appear before then. --Frmorrison (talk) 18:06, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

eSports web platform
Many eSports events are created by big companies.it requires a lot of investment. The International 2017 is the biggest tournament of Dota 2.

Additional paragraph to the mediatisation section

IAEP.CoralieLY (talk) 22:10, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
Sponsoring
eSport borrows the traditional sport codes : - the organization : team, management, competition - the mediatization: television, social media, internet, magazines and sponsorship.[1].
The sponsors are, with advertising, one of the biggest income of eSports.[2]. These budgets[3] allow the organizers and video game professionals to be partly paid and be able to organize big eSport events (e.g: Paris Games Week in France).
Advertising managers see sponsorship as an investment. For these companies, it's a good way to reach their marketing target which is a young audience who spends money by buying their products[4].
Until recently, the main corporate sponsors were close to the eSports world (informatics, video game, high tech companies). Today new companies are investing this communication tool. Smartphone companies easily sponsor tournaments in order to reach their target audience such as Samsung and to be associated to the high technology[5]. Other kind of brands sponsor eSport by associating their products to these events: Coca Cola, Redbull, Gilette...
Sponsorship is a new growing communication territory that targets young and connected people. There are more than 320 million viewers around the world and 60% of them are between 18 to 34 year olds[6].

Not done: Essentially for the same reason as previous rejected sections. There's quite a bit of broken English here and I am not sure what the intent of it was, so cannot fix. Over all, the section has a strangely promotional tone and marketing and promotion of eSports. None of this really aids the reader to include. -- ferret (talk) 22:15, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
It looks like broken english because I am French so feel free to correct the wrong sentences. I used strong sources such as "Taylor" who is working in the MIT and wrote a thesis about eSport its Sponsoring and Communication is a huge part of eSport. The companies provide the materials and the money to build such events and tournaments, otherwise it won't be possible. If you read thesis and other people work about eSport subject, they all provide content about the sponsoring side of eSport and no promotion of eSport will be the death of this sport. No sponsors = no means = 0 events & projects. IAEP.CoralieLY (talk) 09:23, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
- I cannot evaluate the sourcing used as it is all French. The translation from French is difficult to understand and I'm not sure how to repair some of the sentences. Overall, it reads like a PR piece either way, and lacks an encyclopedic tone. @Salvidrim!: Would you perhaps be willing to evaluate the sources, and re-translate this from frwiki? -- ferret (talk) 15:32, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
- Of the sources, the first one is an actual paper from an INSEP researcher, the second and fourth are the same, a book by an MIT professor, the third is an interview with Audrey Fleury, founder of http://digitalinsighters.com/ (PR firm) and teacher of digital marketing & communication, the fifth is just another enwiki article, and the sixth is a news article in La Croix which seems just like any other reliable news outlet. As for the retranslation, maybe eventually, but for the time being I have other things on my mind unfortunately. :( Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 15:43, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Training
I'm considering creating a new section on training in eSports and how it differs in training compared to traditional sports such as basketball, football, and rugby. I would talk about the specific games and programs that the players use to better themselves with things such as typing speed, keyboard coordination, and accuracy with the mouse or joystick. eSports training consists almost entirely of the mind, whereas traditional sports deal with much more physical training and preparation.

Potentially changing name from eSports to esports. Similar to email.
It's pretty much been agreed in the esports industry to use esports as the term, in the same way as email is used. Start of a sentence? Esports. Could get some top esports people in here to sign for it or whatever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.161.148.175 (talk) 21:24, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Esports has been identified in the AP stylebook as having the same capitalisation rules as email: if the word is at the beginning of the sentence, it should be spelled "Esports"; anywhere else in the sentence, it should be spelled "esports". "eSports" or "ESports" would need to be replaced with "esports" or "Esports" in the URL, page header, other AKA variations ("eSports" would also needed to be added as an AKA variation in place of "esports"), and throughout the article. Wi5domDG (talk) 23:34, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
Not done Read the previous responses (more on the archive) on the same topic above. Also, even if this change was made, we wouldn't change the URLs or page titles if they are spelt eSports, just its inclusion in prose and for wikilinks. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 00:55, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Addition to Training Section
Training is crucial to players longevity. "Make no mistake, sports medicine and wellness initiatives in esports are both lacking and in high-demand. Perhaps the clearest example is one of the most-celebrated esports stars of all-time, StarCraft: Brood War player Lee “Flash” Young Ho. Just four years into his professional gaming career, Flash showed clear signs of pain coming from his wrist and arm muscles. Eventually diagnosed with a severe repetitive strain injury, Flash would go on to require reconstructive surgery, resulting in “a scar, half an inch wide, stretched from just above the elbow and up over his shoulder.”
There are, obviously, other serious and minor injuries esports professionals have sustained over the years as well. Carpal tunnel, DVTs, neck pain, and even tennis elbow have all been documented within the industry. Of course, professional teams have been hiring doctors and trainers for years in attempts to help lengthen their stars’ careers. Making matters worse is that new teams and organizations often lack either the resources or foresight to invest in these areas. Foundry IV along with Hyperice have created evaluating duration of game play and necessary preventive and recovery solutions relating to muscle relaxation, stress reduction and mobility. Now, educational workshops, tutorials featuring elite level gamers and scientific experts are beginning to utilize Hyperice like traditional professional athletes as well.

Esports should not be written eSports.
When did the word esports become immune to basic grammar/spelling? Can someone give a consensus for why it's written eSports, or is it just the "ferret" guy that likes to falsely inform people?
Ffk89 (talk) 16:02, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Because that used to be the most common way sources spelled it? You can argue that it's no longer the case, but you can't argue that it never was. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 16:48, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- There's numerous discussions and past consensus's available in the talk archive, feel free to read them. There is an active discussion on the topic at WT:VG at this time. Until then, kindly don't try to go on some crusade changing it in multiple articles. -- ferret (talk) 23:16, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

There isn't really a debate over it, just more of what you prefer writing, Esports or eSports. ESPN[2] and Blizzard[3] has ESPORTS as Esports, while Guardian[4] and RedBull[5] uses "eSports", I'd say maybe just change the title to "Electronic Sports" -忍者- (talk) 02:47, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
- Almost nobody uses the full title of "Electronic Sports", so that isn't a real option. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 00:48, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Having an RFC on "Esports/esports" vs "eSports"?
Because this keeps coming up, I think we may want to consider asking the question broadly to WP as a whole, of whether for MOS and naming purposes, do we go with "esports" (or "Esports" when leading a sentence) or stay with "eSports". I know the last move was only 2 years ago, but this AP thing was more recent and that does change the picture. Again, I'm only asking if we should have an RFC, not about whether this is a good change or not. --Masem (t) 18:11, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think it can change without an RFC. The move history shows this has ALWAYS been contentious, and since the current local consensus from WP:VG is to not automatically follow the AP style guide, we have kept it as is for now. However, since this is more than simply the name of this article, but the convention of "esports" spelling wiki-wide, I suggest a MOS:VG discussion/RFC. Make it MOS so we have someone to point to and organize around. -- ferret (talk) 18:13, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's definitely a MOS thing more than a move request in how I think we need to approach this. (if we do end up with the MOS at "esports" then this page needs to move by default). I just want to make sure such an RFC is not seen as disruptive or anything. --Masem (t) 18:22, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Game examples in the lead
So there's been an edit war regarding Rocket League and a number of other games as popular esport examples in the lead, for both bloat and notability reasons. My compromise was to only list games/series that have been an esports staple for a long time (five years or more), which justifies the current list of League of Legends, Dota, Counter-Strike, Super Smash Bros, and StarCraft. An exception that I left in was Overwatch, as it has a number of official leagues and international events for it (and generally more popular/notable than Rocket League). However, I wouldn't oppose if somebody wants to remove it for the same reasons, since it's still a newer game. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 21:02, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- I mean, anything above 3 examples is just an WP:EXAMPLEFARM that will never get better. Ideally, we would have source that discuss which games are the most notable example of eSp0rtS. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 21:12, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- That's true, but I think there could be an exception here because of how varied the genres are. Or we could instead list the three major genres that cover the majority of esport games, which would be MOBA, first-person shooters, and card games. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 21:55, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
Qylux (talk) 21:01, 7 November 2019 (UTC)I would like to add Rocket League because it is becoming a popular esport among gamers, and it is one of the most played games on Steam. Oh and by the way Dissindent93 it is not a new game, it came out in 2015, and before that was Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars which was the prequel of Rocket League, and was very popular on PS3. And last but not least, look at the RLCS and RLRS, do you think a minor esport would have tournaments like that? No my friend. (EDIT) And, you gave an exception for Overwatch, Why? Rocket League has a larger community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qylux (talk • contribs) 19:07, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- How are you going to prove that? Dissident's reason is pretty clear, and I'd tend to agree. Even though its a mid-day check, Overwatch has 4 times more people watching on Twitch right now than RL does. We're just listing some of the biggest most famous examples, and I agree that RL doesn't quite fit in the top tiers. I also agree with Hellknowz that we have too many examples as is. -- ferret (talk) 19:19, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Physical viewership of esports competitions and the scope of events have increased in tandem with the growth of online viewership.[52] In 2013, the Season 3 League of Legends World Championship was held in a sold-out Staples Center.[53] The 2014 League of Legends World Championship in Seoul, South Korea, had over 40,000 fans in attendance and featured the band Imagine Dragons, and opening and closing ceremonies in addition to the competition.[54]

- Gcamp02, I see what you're suggesting, but I think they cover slightly different topics, don't they? The Esports#Media_coverage section as I see it is more about the development of the mediums that esports have been consumed on, rather than the growth of the games/competitive scenes themselves.

- Gcamp02, I think we should be careful about deciding to add games based on what we editors see as popular. That crosses the line into original research, which is forbidden on wikipedia. We should stick with what reliable sources say are the most popular games over a longer period of time, rather than trying to constantly keep updating that section based on flash-in-the-pan esports. For example, many a mobile game developer has paid a lot of money to suddenly give their game an esports scene and promote it everywhere, but those tend not to last.

Request for rewrite of this section
"Training The training that the players must undergo to prepare for tournaments is different but still takes a tremendous amount of time. Athletes from traditional sports' training is almost entirely based on honing their physical prowess in performing that sport, such as muscle memory, exercising, and dieting. Esports athletes' training is much more based on training the mind, such as studying strategies and new updates for the game. Team Liquid, a professional League of Legends team, practice for a minimum of 50 hours per week and most play the game far more.[123] This training schedule for players has resulted in many of them retiring an early age. Few careers burn as intensely—and as briefly—as that of an esports professional. Players are generally in competition by their mid- to late-teens, with most retiring by their late-20s.[124]"
This is hardly written in an encyclopedic manner, reading as though it were copy/pasted from an argumentative/assertive essay.

Gambling and betting on esports are regulated differently on a market-by-market basis. In most cases esports betting falls under the regulations that govern traditional sports betting. The online nature of the esports gambling has led to the creation of a grey/black market but the majority of the most popular esports betting sites are tightly regulated by governments and organisations like the Esports Integrity Commission, UK Gambling commissions and Malta Gaming Authority in Europe. In the US esports betting is regulated on a state-by-state basis. Puerto Rico is the most recent region to legalise esports betting. Issues have been raised over the age of the fans watching esports and how it could encourage underage gambling. Despite the average age of an esports viewer being 28 there are valid concerns and in many cases, they are being addressed. Betting sites like Rivalry will not promote their website on players shirts if they are under the age of 18 and they do not sell those shirts in child sizes.

Mention Russia as a first country to classify cybersport as a sport
atm: wikipage mentions only about China that classified cybersport as a sport in 2003. I do believe it worth mentioning about Russia.
Source (simplified version):
Russia was a first country that has classified cybersport as official sport discipline.[1]. That happened 25th of july 2001[2]. After series of reforms in Russian sport, cybersport had to and was classified as a sport once again 12th of march 2004 [2][3][3][4][5]. In July 2006 cybersport was removed from a list of sport disciplines cause it did'nt fit new sport standards.[6][7].
7th of july 2016 Ministry of sport has declared to add cybersport into sport registry[8]. 13th of april 2017 cybersport has become an official sport discipline once again.
Source: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B8%D0%B1%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%82
Not sure how much of this should be added to wikipage. But i do believe it worth mentioning that Russia was a first country to recognize cybersport 109.252.47.128 (talk) 03:52, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

I found out that your wiki page needed some edits, and I was thinking if you can allow me to do that! 1. Grammar, spelling, formatting. 2. Citation if needed.
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:19, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
"Not a sport"
"Former ESPN president John Skipper described esports in 2014 as a competition and "not a sport". I remember seeing poker on ESPN, also no a sport. Is there any update on ESPN's stance? 64.72.40.86 (talk) 00:03, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
