2020 has brought an unprecedented change to virtually all of our lives, particularly because of the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak that has shifted the way we interact socially and go about our day-to-day lives.

Everything has changed because of the COVID-19 outbreak. School has been cancelled, sports have either been cancelled or postponed, and people are essentially stuck inside their houses as we all wait out for this entire thing to be over, which could be a while. While there are a plethora of entertainment options out there, some might be interested in getting into esports and now, more than ever, is a perfect time to become familiar with what the esports scene has to offer.

Esports has consistently asked to be taken seriously alongside more of the traditional sports out there. While the esports scene is steadily working on breaking into the main-stream, this is an important moment for esports as they have one advantage over traditional sports - the ability to continue competition online.

Some of the biggest leagues in esports have successfully made the transition to an online format which allows fans (and newcomers) the opportunity to still see their favorite teams and players compete. This is even extending to cross-overs between esports and traditional sports such as NASCAR drivers taking to the virtual track and NBA players set to compete in NBA 2K.

Some of the best esports leagues in the world continued their season online, including a variety of leagues within esports biggest scene, League of Legends.  These include the League of Legends Championship Series and League of Legends Championship Korea.  The ESL Pro Leagues, Flashpoint, and others continue for CS:GO as well, another premier esport. The Overwatch League also came back after a two-week hiatus, but the verdict is still out on when the Call of Duty League will return.

For newcomers to the esports scene, the vast amount of leagues and various games can feel overwhelming, so it might be good to watch a variety of different esports to determine which is the best for you. For those interested in fast-paced, complex team-based games, the Overwatch League might be the ticket. Compared to Overwatch, CS:GO and League of Legends are relatively slow-paced with bouts of incredible action that hit all the right beats, but also relies on team-play for success.

For those looking for something closer to traditional sports, Rocket League has become quite popular over the past couple of years as teams compete in a giant arena where players drive cars while trying to get the ball in their opponents' goal. It's essentially soccer with cars. Don't forget about the fighting game scene with popular titles like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Super Smash Bros. There are vast amount of titles available to watch in any esports scene, and sampling a handful of different esports might help determine what you want to invest time in going forward.

The majority of these games broadcast on Twitch, a popular video-game streaming platform, while the Overwatch League and some others are also available to watch on YouTube. For those interested in the League of Legends and CS:GO scenes, it should be as easy as searching for the specific names of the various leagues directly on Twitch.

It might feel overwhelming when getting into esports for the first time, but there really is no going wrong when deciding on what scenes to get into or casually browse. With the state of the world as it is at the moment, now is the perfect time to ease into the world of esports and maybe just discover something to love along the way.
