The Duden publishing house has now made its decision, because as of today the word is officially in the Duden. And with the following spelling: The e-sport. As an alternative to the masculine noun, the neuter “the e-sports” is also accepted.
The publisher is thus deviating from the international spelling, as the Associated Press has opted for “esports”.
So now I’m a lawyer specializing in e-sports, or “e-sports lawyer.”
