Revelry. The E-Sports industry is no longer just “playing games” as the public perceives it, but has grown to become a special cultural symbol in the minds of young people after being misunderstood from the very beginning.
The hot topic at the top of the screen and the lucrative prize money have once again turned people’s attention to E-Sports talent.
