Why eSports Education Matters

The global eSports market is projected to reach approximately $25.4 billion by 2035, up from its current $3.7 billion showing strong and sustained growth at around 21% CAGR .
Sponsorships and media rights are the largest revenue streams, accounting for over 50–60% of total revenue, exceeding $837 million in 2023 alone.

In 2020 there were 435.7 million viewers, and by 2022 viewership numbers were around 532.1 million. Best estimates suggest that around 640.8 million people watch eSports this year, and that number is expected to grow exponentially.
One of the most popular eSports teams, FaZe Clan, has 25 million followers on social media alone, and many others have impressive follower counts as well.

Surveys given to parents suggest that children who play video games are more capable of complex problem solving, decision making, and generally exemplify better communication skills. (More Info)
Like any sport, eSports fosters an environment of teamwork, collaboration, and strong work ethic.
Learners build tangible portfolios, media projects, branding kits, and content that demonstrate applied skills.
