Among the many challenges facing the esports industry, combatting cheaters is one of the most intricate and important. The digital nature of gaming creates unprecedented threats to integrity and fair play, unlike those seen in traditional sports. Add game publishers to the mix, who often (but not always) take justice into their own hands, and things get even more complicated.
‘No Playing Field’ is a series by Mashable following the behind-the-scenes of the ever-growing world of esports. From huge investment opportunities, to secret team tactics, to obsessed fans, the series gives deep insights on how esports came to be, its current challenges and where it’s heading next.
