Introduction to the world of Esports in English

Gaming was continuously a part of the human life, a necessary entertainment and often an
educational tool. A long time ago, hopscotch, tag, hide and seek and many more traditional
games were the ways of entertainment. Greeks invented the Olympic Games, and Roman
emperors used to state that people need “bread and games” justifying the construction of the
Colosseum in Rome and other game infrastructure. Card games were also mainstream over
the planet, people would meet in cafes, bars or houses and play their favorite card games
jointly. In the 15 th century, King Louis XI found a new brilliant way of amusement and
invented billiard in Northern Europe. In the World Sports Encyclopedia sponsored by
UNESCO, Wojciech Liponski 1 has gathered more than 3,000 games and sport disciplines
from all the nations of the world.
In the last decade, most of the games became computer-generated, allowing users to play
football, soccer, basketball and baseball virtually… Additionally, new types of games were
invented such as Real Time Strategy (RTS) and Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA)
games.
