Some of the more curious conversations happening at the Las Vegas CES 18 show focused on eSports.

They’re part of the growth of video-game competition, which has grown from the days of “Pong” on a black-and-white screen in the basement to real-time strategy, fighting and multilayer online competitions covered live by Web sites.
