This industry’s steadfast ascension and profitable margins have made enough of an impact for the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) to consider adding eSports into high school programs. All of this together depicts a bigger picture, even beyond the Overwatch League’s record-breaking moment. Soon enough, players will slowly become more household names, celebrities will begin to invest on a larger scale within this business and ultimately, tournaments will sell out on a grandeur scale.

So, if you haven’t been paying attention, I suggest you do, starting off with this league’s upcoming competition.
