Esports often takes the form of organized, multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players, played individually or as teams. Esports has become more popular over time and is similar to watching a professional sporting event, except that instead of watching a physical event, spectators watch video gamers compete against each other in a virtual environment. 

Some popular esports games include:

• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
• Fortnite
• League of Legends
• StarCraft II
• PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) 

Most esports players are casual gamers, and esports organizations encourage their players to expand their content offerings to reach the broader gaming community. For example, casual Overwatch players might watch Overwatch League matches to learn about new techniques.
