Since the blockchain began to be increasingly used for the gaming industry, I think that this will positively affect the increasing influence of eSports. After all, the blockchain speeds up transactions, which means that more players can join tournaments, which makes bouts even hotter and prizes are valuable.
Not only deals with transactions. But even if we take for example rewards. With the blockchain, the creators of the game can offer really amazing collectible items, the authenticity of which will be protected by the blockchain. No copying or illegal black market sales. It is amazing!
