Here it is (click me). [DISCLAIMER]: The article is written for my weekly newsletter, and published on my website. Enjoy the read. Best, Christian

Which is the platform that generally has had more money. A poor country doesn't even have the equipment to compete available for most people (they don't even have electricity), disregarding internet. A country going console or PC in general has had a large impact on prize winnings. That might be changing as phones are the biggest platform and thus likely to start becoming the largest esports.

It's really, REALLY hard to do that, and almost impossible in a "good" way. However, it highlights some of the factors that play into it (as you rightfully pointed out). Especially, technological factors are crucial. However, it can also spark some weird effects at the same time, such as opportunity costs, where getting into or staying in esports becomes less attractive when you can make more money doing something else.
