If you're not sure, just follow everyone else's lead and type it in all capitals. Nothing shows your love for e-sports like typing it in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS!!! WOOOOO. I'M SURE IT WILL NEVER GET TIRING TO READ

Maybe we should call it lolsports. It's pretty accurate, too.

Well, for starters, capitalization =/= spelling. That's grammar. Unless it's an acronym, words are not all caps in the english language; sorry. Not only that but if you all-caps something it makes it sound like you are yelling at people, everytime I see "ESPORTS" I think of that one meme of the yelling guy.

Since it's not a proper noun either, the correct formatting should be either "e-sports" or "esports". I think the former is more appropriate, otherwise individuals unfamiliar with the term would probably be tempted to read it as "es-port-s".

So, "e-sports" is realistically the only viable correct spelling and formatting.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

ee-han Sports.

I don't like ESPORTS cause it seems like shouting or an acronym. I think the best is electronic sports for an editorial or article and e-Sports for regular forum posts and whatnot. I don't think I'll be in the dictionnary soon enough so no official nomenclature for a while

I use ESPORTS when I'm on TL. After reading this so many times in different ways it all looks weird to me

Pointing out flaws in esports is ruining Esports, so stop talking about eSports being bad, for the sake of E-Sports! e-sports is how we come together as gamers, don't ruin e-Sports.

ESPORTS is the only acceptable way to write ESPORTS. The word ESPORTS must be held sacred and in completely serious regard.


ESPORTS.
