ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at obstacles and challenges facing esports, including sustainability, team and player issues, intellectual property and antitrust, doping, cheating, match-fixing, gambling and addiction problems. It points out that a broader and deeper collaboration between game publishers/developers, the esports community, esports organisations, tournament organisers, betting companies, regulators, governments and NGOs is needed, in order to safeguard the integrity of the esports industry and strengthen its legality and sustainability.
