In 2017, more than 335 million viewers consumed esports content, including moderated competitions and interviews. By the end of 2021, it is expected to increase to 557 million (source: Newzoo), outperforming classic sports in terms of viewer numbers. The need for high-quality content, which is entertaining and relevant for the respective target groups, will rise accordingly in this development.
