“Although there is much discussion about eSports eventually becoming a recognized Olympic event, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach believes this cannot happen until games deal with their more violent elements. His statements come after a rise in the popularity of eSports, including their inclusion in the upcoming Asian Games.

Electronic sports, aka eSports, has seen an uptick in popularity recently. Cities all over the world host competitions for gamers to compete in while playing titles such as League of Legends, Call of Duty, Overwatch, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Madden NFL. It isn't just players interested in eSports, though, the competitions also get a large share of spectators. Analysts believe that more than 427 million people will be actively watching eSports events by 2019. Those same analysts also think that global revenue from eSports will hit $1 billion by 2019."
