Going into a different direction we'll be talking about the “Esports Media”! Similar to sports, esports has developed its own unique ecosystem of journalism, videos, streaming, social media, and overall content creation. We'll be going into the specifics of those different types of media, and explaining how each one has its uses in making Esports more popular as a whole.
