In the Kingdom, computer sports are becoming increasingly popular. We are not referring to the United States, China, or South Korea, but the United Kingdom. Brexit, which stands for British Exit, has become an essential topic in the cybersports industry. Win.gg reported that it is only now becoming clear how these developments affect the world of e-sports.
In the esports market, the United Kingdom was able to compete because of its reputation as a European country with low taxation, notably in the areas of sport, entertainment, and the Internet. E-sports become more appealing in England every year, both structurally and financially. Some lawyers asserted that the United Kingdom is a small but adaptable country that can conduct business everywhere and concentrates on highly-developed businesses. The primary argument advanced by Brexiteers is that without the EU, esports tournaments will still be popular in the UK. But still, it’s vital to remember that there is currently not much information on Brexit’s influence on the digital economy, including e-sports and video games, among other things.
The British government will soon be able to recognize e-sports without the need to go via the European Commission. Despite the fact that the United Kingdom has been ignoring e-sports for quite some time, progress is being made. The eGames proposal has received the endorsement of the Parliament. The eGames initiative will be an exciting endeavor that will create additional possibilities for esports gamers from around the United Kingdom to compete on the international stage. We congratulate The International eGames Committee for its objectives and efforts to position the United Kingdom at the forefront of esports.
There are, however, some downsides to using this method. If the United Kingdom quits the European Union, it will be more difficult for players to secure visas and work permits. According to Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, EU nationals are permitted to reside and work in the other Member States without the need for a visa. They also receive all of the perks associated with the country that they pick. If the United Kingdom departs the European Union, EU nationals will be denied this opportunity. Players from the United Kingdom, for example, must apply for and get a visit permit in order to be eligible to compete in the LCS European Championship or other ones in the whole EU. A large portion of the competition takes place in Berlin. Residents of EU countries will need to apply for a work permit in order to participate in professional games in the United Kingdom.
Even though the United Kingdom does not have a large talent pool, players all experienced instant visa issues. As a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union, existing trade and travel agreements between the EU and other nations were suspended. The majority of industries had a downturn. E-sports experienced a reduction in sales as well as a decrease in market share as well. We already can see the rising costs of everything related to the e-sports industry.
