The growth of online gaming is snowballing with an enormous global player and spectator base that draws the world's best gamers to battle for fame and fortune in DOTA 2, Fortnite, Overwatch, Halo, League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and other popular games.
Gaming is so popular that a system of local leagues, tournaments, and playoffs was established to manage the competitions. The eSports industry is showing no signs of stopping soon either. The market is expected to hit $1.79 billion in 2022, attracting big brand sponsors such as Red Bull, Coca-Cola, and Nike, among many others.

In parallel, investing in unity game development services is essential for creating immersive gaming experiences that captivate and engage audiences, driving your team's success both on and off the virtual battlefield.

The logos are easy to remember for their simple shape and color palette. Team Liquid and OG are two of the gaming most popular teams that count HTC, Redbull, Twitch, and Monster as sponsors.
