This is a selection from my ongoing project about Esports "Play
The Game Over".
The Esports are the last frontier of competitive sports practiced
with seriousness and professionalism.
Team of young athletes who face each other in videogames of
different kind to win the prize offered by the organizing circuit.
The project wants to describe this sport not only with the live
matches and events but also with everything behind the scenes of
this world.

sponsors, schools and much more.
