eSports, short for electronic sports, refers to competitive video gaming at both the collegiate and professional levels. In the past five years, eSports has rapidly evolved into an industry valued at approximately $906 million, complete with specialized recruiters, coaches, and purpose-built arenas.

Nearly 200 US colleges offer around $15 million in scholarships each year for esports elite, and university teams can earn millions more in tournament prizes. Silicon Valley is also investing heavily in the market with companies like PlayVS.
