As time progresses, people's means of entertainment changes along with it. With these changes comes along multiple new industries, one of them being the eSports industry. Electronic sports or 'eSports' for short is a relatively new industry which is growing at a rapid pace. What summarizes eSports best is competitive video gaming, where much like traditional sports, individuals compete with each other for one common goal being victory. While many people around the world follow and enjoy eSports, not much is known about the legal procedures behind them. Topics such as team organizations acquiring players, visa issues and gambling issues for instance, are what many fans of eSports are aware of or heard of, all of which are related to law. What esportslaw.net aims to provide is a site whereby readers can be introduced to the legal side of the eSports industry.

Are eSports 'real sports'? This question has been asked, discussed and debated multiple times throughout the years of the existence of eSports. Many people from eSports community supports the notion that eSports are indeed sports, however, many still are not convinced that eSports are 'real sports'. One of the biggest instance where this can be seen is the reaction of the medias towards eSports, most notably being the statement made in 2014 president of the well-known sports channel ESPN, John Skipper. With so many objection from the media, some people asks the question of how it may not even matter that eSports are recognized as sports. While the topic of eSports as 'real sports' is certainly widely covered by now, what I have noticed to be lacking in attention is the implications of eSports being recognized as 'real sports'. What this article aims to achieve is to analyze eSports compatibility with the term 'sports', as well as discussing the potential implications of eSports as sports.
