The director of the Esports Lab at the University of Nevada Las Vegas details strategies for teaching students the emerging business model and how other colleges can, too. At 30,000-square-feet, it’s small stakes by Vegas standards, but the Esports Arena at the Luxor shows an industry on the rise. Visitors, many of whom are locals, pay to play at more than 100 PCs and consoles set in rows and clusters throughout the two-level space. They all frame the main event: a raised stage on which players will face off in any number of video games — including popular titles Fortnite, League of Legends and Overwatch — all while their characters’ movements and their own game faces are projected on the 50-foot LED video wall behind them.
