AR/VR devices are providing these players with more representational experiences, essentially creating powerful emotional experiences for the players and followers to feel related to the game. Popular games like BGMI, FIFA, Fortnite, Free Fire, and many others have successfully enthralled the Indian youth and have let them establish themselves as professional players.
Supporting these professional players and continuing the spirit of sportsmanship, World Esports Cup (WEC’21), South East Asia’s premier tri-nation esports championship, with a prize pool of INR 75 lakhs is up for grabs as athletes from India, Pakistan and Nepal are competing in one of the most popular battle royale games, Free Fire.
Live performance of players, their actions, the roar of the crowd, fans’ reaction, the energy, all are some of the key components of a great sporting match that makes it exhilarating. However, with the coming of the pandemic, and social distancing being a prime concern, experiencing sports on-ground have come to a halt.
It surely has put pressure on the sports industry; however, it has instead accelerated the mobile and online gaming sector and particularly leveraged the dawning esports industry in India. From mobile to consoles to PC gaming, every player is competing in matches/tournaments from the comfort of their home, thus creating the trend of virtual stadiums.
