Honestly, this is the current trend now, and more people take notice of the comfort of home viewing.  With the current pandemic issue and the worry of people going out, this may lead to eSport becoming more and more popular.  Aside from that, the restriction of the government of mass gathering will also push this esport to the gambling industry since the industry needs profit and without an audience the normal sport betting is at disadvantage so most institution will then resort to esport to continue their operation and profit.
