Does playing games for hours make you a professional athlete?
In this episode, Nadeem speaks to Jaikishan Malik and Varun Gavankar about the evolution of Esports and how the million-dollar industry had its humble origins in two PC games- Warcraft and Counter-Strike 1.6.
Jaikishan- Alliance and Partnership Manager and Varun- Digital and Content Manager- are avid esports enthusiasts working at Esportz- a fan engagement and gaming experience platform.
They discuss how India finally recognized Esports as a sport, how much it contributes to the sports economy, and how esports players can earn enough to own a Mustang! From gaming continuously for hours to travelling for gaming events, and participating in competitive tournaments; here's why esports are just as nerve-wracking and exciting as traditional sports!
