Surprisingly Japan is lagging behind when it comes to esports teams. Laws meant to police organised crime and gambling prevent paid gaming competitions, whether at internet cafes or at stadiums mean that there is little incentive for professional esports teams. In Japan the idea of gaming as a spectator sport has only recently started to become popular. With 67.6m total players, the Japanese gaming market remains the third largest in the world, but most games associated with esports such as League of Legends, Dota 2 are not popular in Japan.
