What is eSports?

 

Esports, short for electronic sports, refers to organized competitive video gaming where players or teams compete against each other in various video games. These competitions can range from small-scale local events to large-scale international tournaments, often featuring popular video game titles across different genres, such as first-person shooters, real-time strategy games, multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBAs), and sports simulations.

 

Professional esports players often dedicate significant time and effort to hone their skills, compete in tournaments, and build a following. Like traditional athletes, they may also have sponsorships, endorsements, and team affiliations. Esports has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry, encompassing not only competition but also merchandise, media rights, advertising, and more. What makes esports so popular? The increasing appeal of esports is not solely tied to the substantial prize pools awarded to winners but also to its accessibility. Unlike traditional sports, esports necessitates only internet connectivity, enabling participants to engage from any location worldwide, unhindered by physical barriers, and conveniently from home, including via smartphones.


The Rise of eSports in India

 

The origins of esports in India date back to the early 2000s, marked by the emergence of LAN gaming cafes proliferating across the nation. These cafes provided a venue for avid gamers to congregate, engage in multiplayer gaming sessions, and initiate informal competitions. Subsequently, with advancements in technology, the rise of online gaming platforms and tournaments gained momentum, fueling a surge in the popularity of esports in the country.

 

A significant turning point for esports in India occurred with the advent of mobile gaming. The widespread adoption of smartphones, coupled with affordable data plans, democratized access to gaming for a broader audience. This accessibility has led to a substantial increase in the number of players in India as mobile gaming has become more attainable to millions of individuals.


Key Players in the eSports Sector


 

  • Publishers: In the domain of esports, every game is considered the proprietary creation of its respective game developer, commonly grouped under the umbrella term “publishers.” Publishers are entities that fund the creation, promotion, and production of video games, overseeing their release to the market through agreements with distributors, retailers, and platforms. 

 

  • Tournament Organizers: While certain esports tournaments and events are directly managed by the game publishers themselves, including some of the largest ones, many are orchestrated by independent promoters or tournament organizers. These organizers are tasked with planning and executing video game competitions for amateur or professional players, adhering to the guidelines established by the respective game publisher for each title.

 

  • Teams: Esports teams, also known as “team organizations” or simply “esports organizations”, are entities or associations that hire players to represent them in competitive events. Currently, hundreds of professional teams are participating in esports tournaments and events worldwide. These professional teams have established sophisticated organizational frameworks and employ specialized personnel, such as coaches, analysts, scouts, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and psychologists, who possess advanced technical expertise.

Review Of The Movie The Finest Hour By- Richek Singh and Roll no.-22606 (Blog 2)

  Introduction The  movie is set in a cold region where two T2 type tanker ship snapped in half and the protagonist sets out to the sea with his team to save them.  The coast guard goes out in the sea to save the people stranded on board a ship which had snapped in half due to bad conditions of the sea. Learning from the movie  I learnt how a seafarer in distress not only showed endurance to the rough sea and the role of  a leader in need. Despite all the odds the captain (the temporary captain appointed at that time of distress) stopped the people from doing the wrong thing for example: he cut down the life boat which he new that could not endure the rough sea and he was right about it. Not only that but he also showed how in the time of emergency we should create and think out of the box. Like in the movie he used a beam to steer the ship. We can also learn a lot from our hero the cost guard and his team that they despite their difficulties to cross some boundaries in sea they took t

The Future Of Navigation BY- Richek Singh, Roll No.- 22606 (Blog 1)

The future of navigation is looking bright with the developing infrastructure and technology. The introduction of autopilot on board a ship has made navigating the ship little easier in combination with other technologies. In future we can be seeing much more smarter ships which will need very less maintenance. The ships will be able to choose course directly from the RADARS and ECDIS. It will help in the tricky waters and help navigate the ship better. The satellite system will be very well developed in the coming years connecting the global trade together.   The thought of ship being autonomous is very amazing . Autonomous ships will not only save time and money but also reduce the risk of human error, making sea travel safer than ever before. The weather system will be so well developed that we would be able to conclude the weather of the unpredictable seas and stop accidents that happen in rough seas. It will lead to smooth sailing round the clock. Many shipping companies are n
