In the rapidly expanding world of esports and online gaming, the world of players and fans has comingled to create a new kind of sports experience altogether, one which is both intensely private and online, and yet also brings people together into stadiums in bigger numbers than just about any other sport. In this issue we cover the preparations for the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo – hoping against hope that they go off without a hitch – and how new cloud and delivery technologies are bringing thousands of hours of events directly to fans. And we discuss how online football destination COPA90 is promoting women’s football in new ways. We look at esports too, of course, including how a venue in Berlin is bringing in fans and how esports productions deal with the complex challenges of achieving quality audio. …go!
