Leading the Charge in E-Sports Leading the Charge in E-Sports An exploration of leadership behaviors in League of Legends Author: Vidak Rajovic Student-ID: 92135 Master Thesis Cand.merc.(Kom) – Copenhagen Business School Supervisor: Thomas Feldborg Lohse Date of hand-in: 15-05-2019 Number of pages: 80 Number of characters: 181923 Abstract Følgende afhandling har til formål at bidrage med ny viden omkring de gavnlige aspekter af E-Sports ved at anskue det underudviklede og nye spændingsområde der eksisterer imellem lederskab og E- Sports. Metodisk søgte afhandlingen at afdække dette spændingsområde ved at benytte et mixed methods forskningsdesign hvorved en hermeneutisk og positivistisk tilgang dannede grobund for opgavens kvalitative- og kvantitative dataindsamlingsmetoder. Herved blev en trianguleringsstrategi udarbejdet for at sikre effektiv brug af de to paradigmer, hvilket udmøntede sig i brug af ét spørgeskema og tre semi-strukturerede ekspertintervieWs der udgør afhandlingens primære empiri. Således er der mulighed for både at indhente nuanceret og dybdegående viden om afhandlingens spændingsfelt, men lige så vel generalisere den opnåede viden og dermed give opgavens konklusioner en universel karakter. Spændingsområdet blev undersøgt teoretisk ved brug af Avolio & Bass’ Full-Range Leadership Theory og tilhørende Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire. Dernæst blev E-Sports’ lederskabsudviklende karakter anskuet igennem Social Learning Theory som beskrevet af Anthony Banduras, og Leadership Development Theory som beskrevet af David V. Day. Den kvalitative analyse påviste at E-Sports opfylder en række af de nødvendige kriterier for kunne udvikle og styrke lederskabs kompetencer, hvorved de specifikke roller spillere kan optage i spillet kan skabe bedre forhold for lederskabsudvikling og praktisering. Dernæst blev en forbindelse imellem spillerens niveau og lederskabsadfærd etableret; des højere niveau en spiller besidder, des stærkere lederskabsadfærd bør de udvise. Afslutningsvist blev det påvist hvorledes lederskabsudvikling er en proces der afhænger af intentionalitet hvormed spillerens aktive involvering i lederskab er afgørende for en eventuel udvikling. Den kvantitative analyse påviste indledningsvist at der var en signifikant negativ korrelation imellem personer med E-Sports erfaring og selv-opfattet lederskabsadfærd; mennesker med E-Sports baggrund udviste svagere transFormational-, transactional- og laissez-Faire lederskabsadfærd end mennesker med ingen erfaring indenfor E-Sports. Dernæst blev det påvist at spillerens niveau ikke har en indflydelse på deres selv-opfattede lederskabsadfærd. Afslutningsvist blev det påvist at spillere der optager AD-carry rollen vil udvise en stærkere selvopfattelse af transFormational- og transactional lederskabsfaktorer, end personer der besidder en support rolle. 2 Konkluderende har denne afhandling bidraget med ny viden til et underudviklet og komplekst spændingsfelt imellem E-Sport og lederskab og opfordrer til yderligere undersøgelser med fokus på de lederskabsudviklende træk E-Sports besidder, og hvordan disse kan bruges af organisationer udenfor en E-Sports sammenhæng. 3 ABSTRACT ___________________________________________________________________________ 2 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION _________________________________________________________ 6 INTRODUCTION _______________________________________________________________________ 6 PROBLEM STATEMENT _________________________________________________________________ 8 RESEARCH QUESTION __________________________________________________________________ 9 DELIMITATION ______________________________________________________________________ 10 THESIS OUTLINE _____________________________________________________________________ 11 A HISTORY OF E-SPORTS ______________________________________________________________ 11 DeFining E-Sport __________________________________________________________________ 11 The Beginning of E-Sports ___________________________________________________________ 12 League of Legends _________________________________________________________________ 13 CHAPTER 2: METHODOLOGY _______________________________________________________ 15 PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE ______________________________________________________________ 15 The Hermeneutic approach __________________________________________________________ 15 The positivistic approach ____________________________________________________________ 17 METHODOLOGICAL TRIANGULATION _____________________________________________________ 19 Time Horizon _____________________________________________________________________ 20 RESEARCH DESIGN – THEORY DEVELOPMENT _____________________________________________ 21 Empirical data ____________________________________________________________________ 22 QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN ______________________________________________________________ 23 Questionnaire structure _____________________________________________________________ 24 Questionnaire pilot test _____________________________________________________________ 27 INTERVIEW STRUCTURE _______________________________________________________________ 27 Interviewees ______________________________________________________________________ 28 Pilot testing ______________________________________________________________________ 29 RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY ___________________________________________________________ 30 Quantitative reliability and validity ____________________________________________________ 31 Qualitative validity _________________________________________________________________ 32 SUMMARY: METHODOLOGY ____________________________________________________________ 34 CHAPTER 3: LITERATURE REVIEW __________________________________________________ 35 LEADERSHIP THEORY _________________________________________________________________ 35 MULTIFACTOR LEADERSHIP QUESTIONNAIRE – MLQ ________________________________________ 37 Nine-factor full-range leadership theory ________________________________________________ 38 Full-Range Leadership Theory Limitations ______________________________________________ 39 DeFining leadership ________________________________________________________________ 40 LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT ___________________________________________________________ 40 SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY ____________________________________________________________ 42 SelF-efFicacy ______________________________________________________________________ 43 LEADERSHIP IN E-SPORTS _____________________________________________________________ 44 CHAPTER 4: QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS _______________________________________________ 45 THICK, RICH DESCRIPTION _____________________________________________________________ 45 DEMOGRAPHIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS ____________________________________ 46 PROCEDURES ________________________________________________________________________ 48 DAVID V.

    SPORTS & ESPORTS THE COMPETITIVE DREAM TEAM JULIANA KORANTENG Editor-in-Chief/Founder MediaTainment Finance (UK) SPORTS & ESPORTS: THE COMPETITIVE DREAM TEAM 1.THE CROSSOVER: WHAT TRADITIONAL SPORTS CAN BRING TO ESPORTS Professional football, soccer, baseball and motor racing have endless decades worth of experience in professionalising, commercialising and monetising sporting activities. In fact, professional-services powerhouse KPMG estimates that the business of traditional sports, including commercial and amateur events, related media as well as education, academic, grassroots and other ancillary activities, is a US$700bn international juggernaut. Furthermore, the potential crossover with esports makes sense. A host of popular video games have traditional sports for themes. Soccer-centric games include EA’s FIFA series and Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer. NBA 2K, a series of basketball simulation games published by a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, influenced the formation of the groundbreaking NBA 2K League in professional esports. EA is also behind the Madden NFL series plus the NHL, NBA, FIFA and UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) games franchises. Motor racing has influenced the narratives in Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto, Gran Turismo from Sony Interactive Entertainment, while Psyonix’s Rocket League melds soccer and motor racing. SPORTS & ESPORTS THE COMPETITIVE DREAM TEAM SPORTS & ESPORTS: THE COMPETITIVE DREAM TEAM In some ways, it isn’t too much of a stretch to see why traditional sports should appeal to the competitive streaks in gamers. Not all those games, several of which are enjoyed by solitary players, might necessarily translate well into the head-to-head combat formats associated with esports and its millions of live-venue and online spectators.

The athletes’ tweets were categorised into a primary category as well as a secondary and tertiary category, when applicable. The research questions were: 1. How do the most followed esports athletes employ Twitter in terms of the main properties in their tweets? 2. In addition to the main property, what additional features do the athletes’ tweets contain? 3. What are the differences and similarities in the emphases of the athletes’ tweets’ main properties and additional features, when examined by game of the athlete? The results showed that the category that the tweets were annotated most frequently into in the primary categorisation was INFORMATION SHARING, indicating that the athletes’ tweets’ main property was most often to share information on topics related to esports.

  • A Systematization of Sport Teams Participating in Esports
    Tobias M. Scholza, Lisa Völkela, Carolin Uebacha and Volker Steina a Chair for Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior, University of Siegen, Germany Esports has gained much attention in recent years, especially traditional sports clubs see esports as a way to diversify their product or brand. This is since many traditional sports are going gray, and they are often failing to attract a young audience. Furthermore, they need to catch-up concerning digitization and internationalization. These aspects are ingrained in the DNA of esports. Therefore, until the end of 2019, over 400 professional sports clubs entered esports. Though, there is no single strategy to enter the eSports ecosystem observable. Consequently, the goal of this paper is to systemize the way sports teams are acting in esports. Based on that analysis, three cases will be presented to show the potential struggle in joining esports and why sports need to establish a strategy for entering esports. Finally, several implications for sports teams will be presented to minimize the risk of entering the esports ecosystem. Sports teams, participation, systematization, strategic management, brand diversification esports team due to economic struggles from the Covid-19 crisis [49].
