Tournament Play, though it has been around for a while, has only recently reached the mainstream spotlight. For some titles, such as StarCraft, the rise to prominence is truly remarkable. The rise of Major League Gaming has made strides to legitimize videogames as a sport, and it's not uncommon to see game tournaments awarding cash prizes in the upwards of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

One community which has changed significantly with the rise of e-sports is the Fighting Game Community which, while not quite as prolific as RTS games, shooters or MOBAs has a very dedicated (and long-established) following.
