In this episode of the Monsoon Podcast, Emily Lyon on the eSports industry and how professional videogaming is levelling-up in Asia.

Videogames are a ubiquitous part of modern life, but the professional competitive sport that has grown around them is still poorly understood by many outside of the business.

How did this business come to be? Why does Southeast Asia have such a key role in the industry’s future? What even is eSports?

On this Monsoon Podcast, Emily Lyon shares the controller with Saira Mueller and Tobias Scholz, to answer these questions and give you a primer on all things eSports.

Saira Mueller is the Director of Content at Gen.G Esports. Saira is also a former journalist with Dot Esports, and the founder of the Women of Esports community.

Tobias Scholz is an Assistant Professor and Post-Doc Researcher at the University of Siegen. He is also co-editor of the annual eSports Yearbook, and a long-time eSports fan.
