In the last few years, so-called e-sports have been introduced. These are essentially competitions in various video games, usually pitting players against each other. As such, they are often fighting games such as “Super Smash Bros.” or racing games. However, despite their great potential, these events are still not very popular outside of the gaming community. It would therefore be worthwhile to increase their popularity. However, this is not so easy.

First, the game needs to be interesting and simple enough for the layman to understand. This involves the commentator. They must explain what is going on so that people who have not yet been exposed to the game can understand it. Unfortunately, this is not currently the case.

It would also be useful to simplify the competition. For example, when playing in the Swedish system, people will see the same people playing the same games over and over. That may not necessarily be enjoyable. Ideally, we should come up with a new format that is attractive to spectators and fair to contestants. But that is certainly not easy.

It may be necessary to come out of one\’s shell. In this respect, the gaming community is quite unique, and the general public is often unaware that, for example, a world gaming convention is being held. If they don\’t know, it is not surprising that they are not interested!

But by far the most important thing is publicity in the mainstream media. Sure, the media tends to condemn video games, but this can be presented in a positive light. For example, there are competitions where all the money earned is donated to charity, which may be of interest to the general public. However, nothing like that has happened so far, and definitely not in this country. Not, for example, if our country\’s athletes win the World Championships.
