Saturday Esports Facts Minute. Did you know that the Quake Red Annihilation tournament in 1997 is considered one of the seminal moments in the history of esports? With around 2,000 participants competing from across the United States, it was one of the first instances where the concept of a "true" esports event came to fruition. Not only did it feature teams competing in a highly competitive environment, but it also attracted spectators who watched the final competitions unfold, a novel concept at the time. The significance of Red Annihilation extends beyond its scale and spectacle; it was a testament to the potential of online gaming and esports. The prize for the winner, a Ferrari 328 GTS, underscored the seriousness and the potential rewards associated with competitive gaming. This event marked a turning point, showcasing the viability of esports as a competitive and spectator sport. Quake's role in esports history was further cemented when it became the first game featured in The Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) upon its founding in June 1997. This marked the beginning of organized, professional gaming leagues, setting the stage for the growth and professionalization of the esports industry. Quake's contribution to the esports industry cannot be overstated. It was not just a game but a harbinger of the future, demonstrating the potential of competitive gaming to become a global phenomenon. #Esports1MinFact
