Over the past two decades, the landscape of esports has undergone significant changes, evolving from scrappy online leagues with invisible casters to grand spectacles held in packed stadiums.
In the last year alone, esports events have taken place in diverse locations such as Disneyland Paris for Brawl Stars, an NBA arena for League of Legends, and notable venues like Belgium's Antwerps Sportpaleis and Paris' Accor Arena for CS:GO.
When the pandemic hit, esports events reverted to their online roots, becoming one of the few major sporting activities that continued amid traditional sports cancellations. Although not without flaws, these online events attracted a vast number of new viewers, many of whom sought entertainment during lockdowns.
This unexpected situation provided a golden opportunity for the esports industry to flourish, gaining a prominent position in mainstream discussions and capturing the attention of untapped audiences. However, as normalcy returns, it is equally crucial for esports events to resume in-person LAN settings as soon as possible.
Despite the digital nature of esports, its true essence thrives when top teams from around the world compete against each other on the same physical stage. Consequently, nearly every prominent esports title hosts international events in unique venues and popular destinations, enhancing the overall experience for players and fans alike.
