There are more than a dozen tournaments and leagues in the world of eSports, which can be confusing even for someone familiar with the industry and individual gaming disciplines.
Large competitions are held in special places where the public can watch the players sitting at their computers, and the course of the fight is tracked on a large screen, which broadcasts images from the screens of the players. In South Korea, because of the large number of spectators, such competitions are held in stadiums. Smaller competitions are held in computer clubs and Internet cafes. In addition, there are online tournaments, which are held over the Internet.
On the big tournaments, the prize fund reaches $ 1,000,000 and more.
