Abstract
The present technology provides solutions for spectator-based interactions in a virtual esports environment. A method can include establishing an interactive session associated with the virtual esports environment, the interactive session including a plurality of user devices, wherein a subset of the user devices is associated with designated players, and another subset of the user devices is associated with designated spectators; receiving data from one of the user devices over a communication network, the data indicating a spectator action performed by a spectator associated with the user device; identifying that the spectator action is associated with one of the players in the virtual esports environment; and modifying the virtual esports environment based on the spectator action and the association with the identified player.
