  • Understanding Professional Gaming
    STOCKHOLM SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION MSC IN BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS MASTER’S THESIS Understanding professional gaming A comparative analysis of Korean and Western organisations Kristofer Lindahl (40216) and Cedric Diserens (40218) 10/12/2012 Supervisor : Johan Berglund Examiner : Dag Björkegren Abstract In this thesis we seek to explore how “Professional Gaming Teams” in Korea and the western world are different from each other, and the underlying reasons for those differences. We perform an extensive pre-study that provides a deeper understanding of the eSport environment, identify theoretical frameworks to explain the differences between teams, and apply these frameworks to explain how the external environment affects the internal culture of the teams. In order to do this, we conduct critical interviews with game developers, tournament organizers, and team managers. We combine these sources with podcasts, news articles, and other types of media produced by the very active eSport community to create a foundational understanding of a market that has received next to no attention in academic circles. We employ McKinsey’s 7s framework to show how the internal workings of Professional Gaming Teams in Korea are different from those in the west. We also utilize PESTLE model, as well as Porter’s Five Forces to analyze the external environment of the eSport market. These three models provide a holistic approach and a broad understanding of forces that were, until recently, unexplored in the eSport industry. The results of our thesis show that it is external influences that cause Korean and Western teams to focus on different dimensions of their organizations.

  • CS:GO's New Team-Owned League Points to A
    3/4/2021 Flashpoint: a new CS:GO league points to a different future for esports - The Verge GAMING ENTERTAINMENT ESPORTS 1 CS:GO’s new team-owned league points to a different future for esports Flashpoint could mean a more sustainable pro gaming ecosystem By Andrew Webster Feb 5, 2020, 1:00pm EST Listen to this article Some of the biggest names in competitive gaming are teaming up to form a new kind of league. Today saw the announcement of Flashpoint, a new professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive league that differs from almost every other esports venture in one key way: it’s owned and run by the teams. Big-name organizations like Cloud9, Gen.G, Dignitas, Overactive Media, and more have all paid $2 million franchise fees in a big bet to build a more sustainable esports league. “Everyone benefits, and I think that is going to be the way of the future,” says Gen.G co-founder Kent Wakeford. The league, which kicks off open qualifiers starting tomorrow, says that it will “provide the highest revenue share potential to teams of any major esport league.” Events will take place offline in a studio, with two seasons per year and a $2 million prize pool. In addition to benefiting team owners, the league also says it will see players be much more involved compared to other competitions. “Players will receive the highest revenue share in esports, the largest revenue guarantee in CS:GO, and will have equal representation to the teams on the league’s board of governors,” the league says.

And it is great to be here. This is my first E3. So you might be wondering why am I here. And why Verizon is here. At the industry's biggest gaming conference. Well, let me tell you, this past year changed everything. Including the world of gaming. The pandemic sparked a massive growth for the industry.

And this growth has propelled the gaming industry towards massive new creative opportunities. And cutting-edge ideas. Gamers know better than anyone that cutting-edge ideas demand new technologies that can keep up. And that's where Verizon comes in. Because here is the thing, in our increasingly fast-paced interconnected world, we need technology that can transform every aspect of gaming.
