The Pandemic's Impact on the Esports Industry 

Coronavirus has had a considerable impact on gaming events and the esports community. Live virtual events and tournaments in various locations were canceled and delayed all over the world, and a few of them were held without spectators. 

However, esports grew in 2021 as opposed to 2020, and this growth is only expected to increase in the next few years. 

 

More Esports Venues in the Coming Years

Esports venues are still popular in the world's major cities and even in smaller locales around the world.

There is still a remarkable concentration of the esports gaming community in North America and Europe. This is due to the high number of competitive gaming aficionados seeking their place in the world of competitive esports. 

Competitive gaming has indeed come a long way as first-time gamers continue to join the world of esports month on month. As some gaming centers seek to expand, others are built.
