Esport Investigate
Esports events are electronic sports which are mainly played through electronic systems and this may be video games. In esports, input of players is done through human and computer interfaces, whereby real players are incorporated in video games and thus the game seems real. These games therefore involved professional players in the games, thus the winning player is therefore awarded after the end of the competition (Soderman & Dolles, 2013). Major esport events are the main games which are majorly featured in esport events. This consequently means that these games tend to have huge number of fans, or otherwise are known and loved by very many people in different parts of the world (Lienhard, & Preuss, 2014). Thus major esport events must feature in esport games during the esport league.

Each and every game is given its duration, thus the players take their time in order to perfect their play. The fighting games, such as street fighter V are the most anticipated games, since they have the highest number of fans (Lienhard, & Preuss, 2014). Moreover, it is also one of the major esport events in the country and thus most people really like it. In this game, when the player is attacked, the V gauge is build up and thus making the attacker to gain points. Fighting games are usually embraced in esports, simply because such games are not played in real life situation (Soderman & Dolles, 2013). The players usually wear glasses when playing, thus the game is played in three dimensions. The game seem real to the player and thus making it easier for the players to view the games in such a way that whatever is happening is actually real.
Dota 2 is also another game which is majorly liked by many, and it is also anticipated by many fans. In this game, two teams consisting of five players and each team occupies its own distinct base on the map. Each player in the game controls a character which is commonly known as a hero, and they have very unique skills and dissimilar styles of play (Soderman & Dolles, 2013). During the games, each and every player gains points by playing in a very unique way according to the uniqueness of the play. The winning team is the one which destroys a very large structure of the opposing team, which is commonly referred to as Ancient (Lienhard, & Preuss, 2014). The game therefore attracts most fans since it is a very competitive game in which the winning team must be able to work very hard in order to beat the other team.
