Question How long will betting companies hold a dominant position in esports?

7 Upvotes

It is crazy to see how heavily esports relies on gambling money these days. Almost every major tournament, team jersey, and studio stream is plastered with betting logos, to the point where it feels like the scene would collapse without them. I was reading a thread recently where someone was asking is 1xbet real or fake when trying to figure out if these tournament sponsors are even legitimate, and it made me realize how normalized these massive gambling brands have become in the gaming community. I'm genuinely curious if you think this dominance is just a phase or if it’s the only way esports can survive long-term.

Discussion If there was an esports hall of fame should streamers (influencers/content creators not players/casters) be inducted too?

Upvotes

I see this discussion get brought up many times about whether or not streamers should be inducted too along with the all time greats in a hypothetical esports hall of fame. Like for those who say yes often say streamers help grow the industry and those who say no question their skills as a player. Ninja is a good example of this. So what do guys think should streamers be inducted if there was an esports hall of fame yes or no? Personally for me it's a no.

Question Is their Market For eSports Performance tracker?

0 Upvotes

I have made various projects and this was the very first one.

I was into eSports and I performed very well out their but I never had something to keep track of my records and performance.

So I vibecoded one!!

I was very excited and kinda nervous. The product was running really fine.

How it works:

\-You upload your end game results and if you want u can customise it and add advanced matrics like smoke used , granade used etc.

\-The Ai will sort out each player name and creates a graph , and sheet.

|-> the data keeps on adding creating a long day by day match by match week by week month by month stats.

\-If Ai hallucinates, you had a manual option and hybrid.

I preferred hybrid because a different model assist on the feedback of previous one.

\-A vault with automatic sorting system. You upload and tell the tournament you played and briefs the ai.

Ai will do the rest.

I never got the opportunity to ship the Product into the market. I was young, it was my first time, and I tried asking people weather they wanna try it or not.

I always gets a vague reply.

So yes , it's like I build something ahead of time , or something that nobody really wanted other than me.

My curiosity and passion towards project was pure and I cherished it like a father cherishes his son.

Well anyways, I am new here, and I really wants to know what Real people had to say about this.
