Why are Esports Tournaments All Different?

Esports used to be built from the ground up by the communities who played these games daily. A truly grassroots scene organizing tournaments with just passion and duct tape. But now, publishers are calling the shots with multi-million dollar budgets, huge international tournaments, and now an esports world cup that promises to elevate the scene to heights its never seen before.But how do all of these tournaments work? Why do some games try to emulate real world sports, while others have something else going on entirely? In other words, why does every esports tournament seem to operate completely differently, and where did grassroots esports go?#esports #tournament #gaming #valorant #leagueoflegends #marvelrivals #callofduty #overwatch2
