    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.

  • Everyone Needs to Pitch In”: an Ethnographic Study Of
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School “EVERYONE NEEDS TO PITCH IN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY OF COLLEGIATE ESPORTS A Dissertation in Learning, Design, and Technology by Robert Hein © 2020 Robert Hein Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2020 ii The dissertation of Robert Hein was reviewed and approved by the following: Ty Hollett Assistant Professor of Learning, Design, and Technology Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Simon R. Hooper Professor of Learning, Design, and Technology Stuart A. Selber Associate Professor of English Director of Digital Education Priya Sharma Associate Professor of Learning, Design, and Technology Susan M. Land Associate Professor of Learning, Design, and Technology Director of Graduate Studies iii ABSTRACT Although researchers have shown interest in videogaming since the early 2000s, the hyper- competitive world of “esports” has received less attention. However, multi-million dollar gaming tournaments—such as the 2019 Fortnite World Cup—now make headlines and spark national discussion. Similarly, colleges and universities have begun offering athletic scholarships to students who excel at games like League of Legends and Overwatch. Consequently, this present study aims to shine a light on the values, beliefs, and practices of gaming’s most “hardcore” players and communities. To better understand how these competitors improve their in-game skills, the author adopted a “connective ethnographic” approach and immersed himself in the day-to-day activities of a collegiate esports club. This process involved attending club meetings, interviewing members, and participating alongside players as they competed with and against one another in the game of Overwatch.

  • Communication in Overwatch Christal Toh (U1830172L) 1
    Communication in Overwatch Christal Toh (U1830172L) 1. Introduction Overwatch is a multiplayer First Person Shooter (FPS) online that pits players against other players using in-game characters known as “heroes”, and is developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. Overwatch is an extremely popular game, garnering at least 40 million new players since its launch in 2016 (Gough, 2019). Games are predominantly used for entertainment, but can also be used for social functions and have the ability to deeply impact the language used in the game, which will be discussed further in the essay. The game has two different communication systems that can be used on its own or simultaneously by players. The first communication system is the game’s messaging system, or in other words the “chat box”. It largely resembles messaging systems found in SNS (Social Networking Systems) and is text-based (Figure 1). The second communication system is the game’s in-built voice system. This resembles phone conversations because players can have voiced conversations with one another without being able to see each other’s faces, and is speech-based (Figure 2). Players can select their desired target addressee from a large pool of audiences, but most use only three of them - group, team and chat. Figure 1: Chat box Figure 2: Voice system 2. Relevant Literature A study was conducted to investigate the reasons for the attraction of gaming and how social activities can be influenced by online gaming (Wu, Wang & Tsai, 2010). Based on the study’s results, it was concluded that players have frequent social interactions with others and exchange information with one another using the game’s systems.
