The term Esport has its origin from the English words “electronic” and “sports”, also known as “esports”. Esports is already considered an official sport in many countries. It is often characterized by the competitive and team play aspect as well as the game-specific skills, which are based on physiological as well as mental nature. Thus, in addition to a well-developed eye-hand coordination with fast reflexes, tactical understanding, communication skills and team play are often required. Esport in Switzerland is still in its infancy, while in other Asian, European and American countries it has almost reached the spectator level of basketball and ice hockey in the USA.
