Sažetak

E-sports - competition based playing of video games is becoming a growing industry and an increasingly frequent subject of various international research. The purpose of this analysis is to design a new, innovative business model in the e-sports industry, which it will be possible to apply in the form of a significant business opportunity. The main goals of this paper include determining the key components of the success of e-sports in the growing video game industry and presenting some innovative ways of using them in the form of new business opportunities. By observing the concept of e-sports through several
components, it is possible to analyze their profitability and the possibility of profiting primarily from the entrepreneurship perspective. Furthermore, the paper determines the segmentation of the e-sports target market and compares it to the traditional sports markets, since these two concepts, according to various authors, should be viewed separately.
