Bing boosts esports support, starting with Counter-Strike and League of Legends

Microsoft search engine Bing has new functionality for esports.

Users can get information about specific tournaments through the site. This is another example of the world trying to take advantage of a growing competitive gaming market, which intelligence firm Newzoo projects will drive $1.1 billion in revenues by 2019. Bing also predicts esports winners, which it also does for traditional sports and reality television. This new feature can also drive esports fans who usually use Google, which doesn’t have a similar feature, to Microsoft’s Bing.
