India’s Top E-sport players and how much do they earn?

Let us know about the top Indian Esport players and how much they earn. One industry that was positively affected by the Global Lockdown and pandemic was no doubt the gaming industry. With nowhere to go and a lack of physical activities, people turned their attention to several OTT platforms as a source of entertainment.

However, they missed the adrenaline rush and excitement that came from indulging themselves in adventurous activities or sports. So, games came to their rescue. This proved to be a breakthrough moment for the gaming industry with companies, brands, developers, and gamers, equally contributing their time, money, and efforts towards the expansion of the same.

This sudden and massive boost affected the E-sport business and finally helped it establish its roots in India. More and more gamers began to curiously shift their attention from online gaming to know more about esports. Now, a lot of you may confuse the two- Gaming and e-sports.

Let us clear the two out first. Gaming is playing your favourite game without the intent of earning any prize in the form of money, title and so on. Whereas, Esports just like your traditional sports is playing video games on a competitive level with the intention of winning something and that something can be anything from money, title, rank and so on.

Esports is very similar to traditional sports where players have to undergo rigorous training and shape down their lifestyle to bring positive results to their game. In esports as well, the players have to practise and perfect their form by following a certain lifestyle that will positively affect their performance in the upcoming esport tournaments or events.
