#7: The Esports Boom Amidst COVID-19 (feat. Matthew)

In this episode, we are joined by our good friend Matthew as we discuss the impact of esports on our society through this coronavirus quarantine period. In fact, all major sports have been indefinitely suspended until the virus has been contained or cured. But one sport still airs every day and that is esports. Esports and gaming has seen an incredible rise in popularity due to it being one of the few ways to socialize without needing to be anywhere near your friends and family. We look at what makes esports such a compelling industry to spectate and also what is holding esports back from the household popularity like other sports have despite their impressive numbers.
