Tournaments such as the League of Legends World Championships and Dota 2's The International have live broadcasts of the competition and large prize money. The two most popular games right now are the League of Legends and Fortnite, League of legends is a MOBA game (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), and Fortnite is a Battle Royale.
The earliest eSport tournament was held in 1972 at Stanford University for the game Spacewar, the Stanford students were invited to what they called an "Intergalactic Spacewar Olympics", with the grand prize being a magazine membership.
In around 1990 a lot of games benefited from better internet connectivity (mostly computer games). And also many other games were being played competitively in tournaments.
With the popularity of eSports in South Korea, people made lots of Internet Cafes/LAN gaming centre, known as a PC Bang.
eSports have changed very fast throughout the years, so it is hard to tell how eSports will change now.
