As eSports continues to grow its audience, it will make inroads into traditional sports viewership in many ways – drawing young viewers away from traditional sports, but also growing the definition of what is a spectator sport and even influencing how traditional sports are broadcast. This panel will explore viewing habits of the eSports audience, how it may impact pay TV, and how it will continue to grow and evolve.
