While the entirety of the scenario is still unknown, fans are wondering how fan engagement will take place during matches.

Surely Valve has thought of some alternative or say better option. Because if there is one thing you cannot take away from esports professionals, that is the crowd. A  hearing crowd can turn the tide of games at a moment’s notice.
