These editorial guidelines outline the values and standards of Basik Marketing regarding all content published on our website.
The term "esports" encompasses various definitions that continuously evolve as new games, platforms, tournament formats, and industry stakeholders emerge. While there is no universally accepted definition, our coverage follows the following definition of esports (subject to change). We classify a game as an esports title when it satisfies ALL of the following broad criteria (subject to change):
Multiplayer: The game must have a multiplayer component.
Organized, Spectator-Friendly Competitions: The game must have organized competitions that are enjoyable for spectators.
Skill-Based Victory: The outcome of the game must primarily depend on skill rather than chance. a. Intellectual Skill: Victory relies on intellectual abilities such as strategy, in-game decision-making, pre-game drafts, etc. b. Physical Skill: Victory involves physical skills such as high APM (Actions Per Minute), quick reflexes, significant hand-eye coordination, etc.
