00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,440
Hello 

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,400
and welcome to the first video
 explaining the key aspects of e-sports.

3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,280
This first video is an introduction
 to global e-sports.

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,120
The video will be followed by business
 and branding and is importance

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,240
within e-sports. 

6
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:25,640
Nutrition and physical health of e-sports
 athletes, mental health

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,880
and its effect on e-sports,
 e-sports coaching,

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,800
content creation, 

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,040
streaming and set up tips. 

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,120
Then the last three will be an insight
 into gaming strategies, within

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,440
FPS games, sports games and MOBA games.

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,280
So e-sports, what is it?

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,040
E-sports
 simply stands for electronic sports.

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,200
It's different from standard video gaming,
 and the e-sports is competitive

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,160
and human versus human
 instead of human versus computer.

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,400
It usually has an engaging spectator
 element to it, like traditional sports.

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,920
However, similar to traditional sports,

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,960
e-sports competitors are held
 in a tournament like fashion.

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,960
E-sports tournaments
 usually consist of amateur or

20
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:12,320
professional gamers competing against
 one another for a cash prize.

21
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:15,440
Players
 can either play one on one against one

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,960
another in games
 like Fifa and Street Fighter or in teams.

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,800
For example, League of Legends
 pits five players against one

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,360
another in a 5v5 virtual battle arena
 to destroy each other's base.

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,160
Whereas in shooters like Call of Duty,
 Overwatch and Counter-Strike

26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,840
plays are pit against each other
 in various modes to complete an objective.

27
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,400
Think of esports as competitive video

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,920
gaming where skill
 and professionalism is celebrated.

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,680
The pro gamers who play at this level
 know the games inside out,

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,400
much like a professional footballer
 or an athlete

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,600
within their respective fields. 

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,440
Unlike most traditional sports, 

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,880
where men's and women's teams are split,
 e-sports is technically mixed

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,680
with male, female and gender
 nonconforming players taking part.

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,520
In recent years, the rise of women
 players has risen and continues

36
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,560
to rise, alongside initiatives
 such as Women in Esports.

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,560
Like traditional sports. 

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,480
Professional teams
 usually have coaches, analysts

39
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,120
and managers who helps get the most out
 of the players and organized strategies.

40
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:20,280
So to give
 you an example of the scale of e-sports

41
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,400
some of the biggest tournaments
 offer millions of pounds in prizes.

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,000
The tournaments with the biggest prize
 pools are the Dota 2 International

43
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,480
with 34 million and the Fortnite World Cup
 with 30 million.

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,440
These events are watched
 by millions of fans

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,680
and bring in a lot of interest
 into the e-sports scene.

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,520
The esports
 scene as a community is one of the fastest

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,640
and most exciting industries
 currently around the globe.

48
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,240
And it's only the beginning.
