You're a casual player, or maybe you've been in a few teams before and played fairly competitively. Perhaps you're just a spectator and you like the excitement of watching live games from multiple genres. Maybe you're brand new to the industry and you've yet to jump in. The one thing that units you is that you somehow want to be more involved in eSports.

First though, let's look at a quick sample of the potential areas you could potentially explore in eSports. Once you've made that decision, focusing your efforts will be far easier.
