An eSports team is a video gaming team composed of professional gamers who compete against other teams in organized, multiplayer video game competitions.

The top esports teams train intensively, similar to traditional professional athletes. They practice together for several hours daily and have regular coaching and strategic review sessions.

The best players on an esports team are typically recruited from competitive gaming leagues and ladders.
