E-Sports are competitive games taken to the professional level. With the rise of the Internet, online gaming has grown by leaps and bounds since the mid-1990s. Back then, games like Command and Conquer,Diablo, and the original Warcraft had gamers competing through dial-up connections with others around the world. As time went by, a whole new class of players came about as the quality of online games improved.Games such as Starcraft began rolling out global ranking systems, letting everyone know exactly who the best players were.

電競是專業級的競技遊戲。隨著網路的興起，線上遊戲自九○年代中期開始非常迅速地成長。那時，一些遊戲像是《終極動員令》、《暗黑破壞神》和最初的《魔獸世界》讓玩家以撥接上網的方式和世界各地的玩家進行對戰。隨著時間過去，由於線上遊戲的品質改進，有一群新型態的玩家出現了。像《星海爭霸》這些遊戲開始推出全球排名系統，要讓所有人確切知道誰是最棒的玩家。
