NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The eSports industry has had to overcome major obstacles en route to its current status. In previous years, limited tournament infrastructure and a lower number of organizations have restricted the market growth. Such limitations resulted in fewer revenue streams for players and team owners. However, in 2017, Riot Games created the League of Legends for the North America and Europe region, giving a structured format to the tournament. Later, in 2018, Activision Blizzard, Inc. launched its Overwatch league, creating the requisite infrastructure for the monetization of eSports tournaments. Among the many technological innovations that contribute to eSports, artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a useful tool for gamers and developers alike. For example, many players are demanding coaching apps, which are based on AI. AI-powered coaching offered by SenpAI suggests better strategies for some of the best video games such as DotA 2 and League of Legends by accessing player stats. SenpAI also offers in-game guidance by providing in-depth stats for players to analyze. React Gaming Group Inc. (TSX-V: RGG) (OTC: ITMZF), Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), C3.ai, Inc.
