The concept of esports arenas presents a nuanced challenge in legal discourse. Unlike traditional sports venues, these arenas encompass diverse physical and virtual spaces, from grand-scale events to online competitions. Governments, like China and Turkey, attempt to regulate them, setting standards for equipment and venue dimensions in order to establish minimum legal certainty and understanding on the part of affected stakeholders. Additionally, esports competition rules have tried the same thing detailing specific requirements for venues, addressing player seating arrangements and technical specifications on their competition rulebooks. However, a universal definition remains elusive and rests on the common practice of the sector. That makes us to generally understand an esports arena as a multiple space which includes a players area for competition (equipped with necessary hardware and software, ensuring fair competition) facing a spectator area. However, that needs to accommodate the diverse playing environments inherent in esports, whether physical or virtual, in order to correctly capture the meaning of the term.
