The Future Is Now
The streaming age brought a worldwide spotlight on esports, which have existed nearly as long as video games themselves. After decades of being dismissed, esports are finally getting their due respect. Between the rise of streaming, and the popularity of games like Fortnite, the esports industry has exploded both in viewership and revenue.
The Esports industry is on track to pass one billion dollars in revenue this year, and it’s expected to hit 1.8 by 2022. Nearly everyone wants to get a piece of this massive industry, whether it’s by streaming, joining collegiate teams, or competing in competitions. As the industry gains legitimacy, so do careers in professional gaming.
Don’t miss out on your place in history, esports are the future.

Esports Careers Await
The esports industry is booming. Games like League of Legends, DOTA 2 and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds are awarding millions of dollars in prizes to teams and professional gamers. But competitions and tournaments are only one way to get into the whole of professional gaming.
Esports companies need all kinds of employees to make their organizations run, just like any other business. In most cases, all you need is a passion for video games and experience in the type of role they’re looking for. And while you don’t necessarily need a top of the line PC for these roles, having one that plays the latest titles with great graphics will set you apart.
DON’T LET HARDWARE
Hold You Back
When it comes to esports, the hardware you have matters. It’s the second most important thing for success, right under mechanical skill. When you’re playing competitive games like Call of Duty: Warzone, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, or Fortnite, you need the highest FPS and refresh rates possible. Having high frames per second and refresh rates give you a competitive edge. If you’re playing against someone with your exact same skill level, hardware is what makes the difference.
Smoother animations mean better tracking of targets, which is critical in FPS games. This article from NVIDIA explains the concept in more detail: Why Does High FPS Matter For Esports?
All of that said; if you’re serious about PC gaming, you need the best machine possible. That way, when you face off against other players, the only variable is mechanical skill.
DON’T OVERLOOK YOUR
GAMING ACCESSORIES
On the list of things you need to succeed in esports, peripherals come right after mechanical skill and a solid PC. While peripherals like monitors and keyboards are usually personal preference, there are a few factors to consider. With monitors, you want the highest refresh rates possible for your budget. The typical choice of many gamers is a 144Hz monitor, but you can even go as high as 360Hz with some of the newer NVIDIA Reflex monitors.
For keyboards and mice, choose what feels comfortable to you. For mice, make sure to consider DPI, as that will impact your aim in FPS games. For more info, check out our blog about peripherals here.
