  • Deconstructing Fame
    Deconstructing Fame An Analysis of eSports Brand Value. The Case of Dota 2 Master Thesis (15 cr.) Department of Informatics and Media Media and Communication Studies Ilya Musabirov May 2016 Abstract This work is dedicated to studying pricing and valuation mechanisms of eSports brands in free-to-play game Dota 2. The object of the study are virtual autographs of Dota 2 professional players, which are traded on the market but, at the same time, do not provide buyers with any functional advantage in the game. The principal aim of the study is to reveal factors influencing the value of autographs and understand how the community of players evaluate them. Theoretical framework of current study borrows from economical sociology, in particular, ap- proach of Patrik Aspers who argues that standard and status markets have distinct forms of goods’ evaluation. Special attention in this work is focused on conception of status market on which there is no unified quality scale for evaluation, and all quality judgements are deeply entangled with market actors. Kornberger’s treatment of brands as ‘organising devices’ sup- plements the framework and supports the focus on devices of brands’ value construction. Mixed research strategy, combining qualitative, and quantitative methods is used to make sense of the data extracted from Steam community market and discussion from networking service Reddit. Results show that among the most influential factors explaining the price of autograph there are personal player performance statistics, team tournament performance, and media cover- age of player’s performance. The more detailed analysis of discussions on Reddit illustrates how evaluation devices are performed by the community of players and spectators.

    “ANÁLISIS CUANTITATIVO SOBRE LOS E-SPORTS” Presentado por Álvaro Guijarro Marín ([email protected]). Para optar al Grado de Economía. Por la Universidad de Alicante. Dirigido por Luis Moreno Izquierdo. Resumen Tanto los E-Sports como la Realidad Virtual han sido los segmentos que más crecimiento han experimentado en la industria de los videojuegos. Este acelerado desarrollo de los E-Sports ha dejado dudas acerca de su potencial comunicativo y económico. Por ende, por un lado, esta investigación se centra -a nivel teórico- en explicar el concepto de los E-sports, mostrando su alcance comunicativo, tanto a nivel nacional como mundial. Por otro lado, -a nivel práctico- se realizará un análisis cuantitativo de las principales variables con el objetivo de mostrar una aproximación del impacto económico generado por dichas variables. Además, este análisis se enfocará en la variable “premios”, mediante la obtención de datos procedentes del año 2006 y sucesivos, cuyo objetivo es comprobar la importancia que éstos suponen tanto para el salario de algunos jugadores profesionales como para el crecimiento del sector de los E-Sports. Palabras clave: E-Sports, impacto económico, alncance comunicativo y premios. 2 Abstract Both E-Sports and Virtual Reality have been the segments that have experimented the most growth in the videogame industry. This accelerated development of the E-Sports has left doubts about its communicative and economic potential.

Teknolojinin her geçen gün daha da geliştiği günümüz dünyasında spor kulüpleri bu doğrultuda açılan yeni kapılara kayıtsız kalmamaktadır. 2000’li yılların başından itibaren hızla yol almayı başaran elektronik spor, modern sporun 20. yüzyılda gösterdiği gelişimin bir benzerini daha kısa bir sürede gösterme konusunda büyük bir potansiyele sahip. eSpor’un ekonomisini her geçen yıl önemli bir oranda büyütmesi, spor kulüplerinin son dönemde bu branşa başlayan ilgisinin daha da artmasına neden olacaktır. Henüz akademik anlamda tam olarak beklediği ilgiyi bulamasa da spor ekonomisine yaptığı çok yönlü katkıyla eSpor yakın gelecekte değerini daha da katlayacak gibi görünüyor. Dünya genelinde birçok üniversitede burs programları arasına dahil edilen eSpor hakkında Türkiye'de bilimsel çalışmaların diğer ülkelere göre kısıtlı olduğu göze çarpmaktadır. Yapılan bu çalışma ile her geçen gün gelişmekte olan bu alanla ilgili olarak Türkçe kaynak eksikliğini gidermek ve literatüre katkı sağlamak amaçlanmaktadır.
