Esports: The Sports of the Future?

Esports are already big business: millions of players, countless fans and big name sponsors.

But what's the attraction of watching somebody else play a computer game?

Here on Roundtable we're tracking the rise of E Sports.

Joining us at the Roundtable was Chester King, CEO of British Esports Association; Jonathan Rest Sports Writer for Sportcal; Noor Alkhadra, Esports gamer and founder of WeGeek a gaming events company and Ollie Ring Head of Media at Esports Insider.



Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.

very soon in few years, not more then 10, esports will be alot bigger then olimpics and football combined, you need to be old, closed minded or just stupid to not see what will come . If now people in 30-80 years look at fotball, in 10-20 years people(young kids from today) will look in tv at one dota or fortnite game or something. Will be just simple as that. I hope Noor Alkhadra find his way in his bussines, she s doing a great job and is a hard road ahead always.
