A summary
Welcome to the world of competitive gaming, known as Esports. Often viewed as just a hobby, gaming can sometimes carry negative connotations and I'm here to change that perspective. This introduction will show how Esports can lead to academic success and a rewarding career. Parents will learn about the potential of an Esports education, while secondary school children and leavers can explore what it takes to be successful in Esports. Join us and discover the vast opportunities within the Esports industry!
