A quote from the article:
If gaming is all about speed, this 240Hz monitor should be right up your street. The numbers surrounding electronic sports, or eSports, are astounding. According to Twitch, the streaming video service, in December 2016, Dota 2, CS: Global Offensive and League of Legends racked up almost 40m hours of competition coverage air time alone. Think about that for a second. If that's not impressive enough, Valve's The International event had a prize pool of over $20m... with the winners taking home over $9m. eSports is wildly popular and potentially very lucrative.

So it's no surprise that hardware manufacturers are queuing up to launch eSports-specific peripherals and screens. Team sponsorship plays a big part in promoting their wares, because what's good enough for Wings Gaming or Digital Chaos - two of the best-known teams - is appealing to the casual gamer with an interest in the competitive side of gaming.

Zowie, now owned by BenQ, has built its reputation on providing no-nonsense hardware to the eSports community. The company's design philosophy of function through form is an antithesis of modern-day thinking that loads peripherals with RGB lighting, often-superfluous buttons and garish colours.
