Failure to adhere to these rules may be penalized as outlined. It should be remembered that it is always the administration of the tournament that has the last word, and that decisions that are not specifically supported, or detailed in this rulebook, or even go against this rulebook may be taken in extreme cases, to preserve fair play and sportsmanship. We at ESL hope that you as a participant, spectator, or press will have an enjoyable competition to partake in and we will do our utmost to make it a fair, fun, and exciting competition for everyone involved. Yours sincerely, The ESL One Administration 5 Definitions Range of Validity ESL One is operated as part of the ESL by ESL Gaming GmbH. This is the only rulebook, which is valid for ESL One, its participants and all matches played within the scope of ESL One. With their participation the participant states that they understand and accept all of the rules. Participant An ESL One participant is a team or a player that is participating in an ESL One competition. Time Zones South East Asia: Singapore Time North/South America: Eastern Time China: China Time EU/CIS: Central European (Summer) Time Regions For a list of all countries and their assigned region, see “List of countries/territories” and their ​ ​ assigned ESL One regions at the bottom of this document. Match, Map, Games & Series A map is one game as in a Best-of-One (1). A match or series is multiple maps as in a Best-of-Three (3) or Best-of-Five (5). Punishments Definitions and Scope of Punishments Punishments are given for rule violations within ESL One competitions. They may be either minor or major penalty points, monetary fines, default losses, player/team barrages or disqualification, dependent on the incident in question and often combinations of two or more of those. Participants will be informed about the punishment and will be given a time until which they can appeal the decision. Only the team management are eligible to make appeals. 6 Minor Penalty Points Minor penalty points are given for minor incidents such as: causing delays, not responding to referees, abuse of the pause function, and so on. Every minor penalty point deducts one percent (1%) of the overall prize money received by the team. Major Penalty Points Major penalty points are given for major incidents such as: deceiving referees, causing delays repeatedly, not showing up past the deadline, and so on. Every major penalty point deducts ten percent (10%) of the overall prize money received by the team. Monetary Fines Monetary fines are given for failure to fulfil obligations that are not directly related to the tournament, like press/media appointments, or planned sessions for fan interaction. Bans Bans for one or more leagues are given for severe incidents such as cheating, use of a player that is not allowed to compete, repeatedly breaking the rules, and so on. They can be given to either a player or a team. Disqualification A disqualification will happen in the most severe cases of rule violations. The disqualified participant forfeits all prize money. League Bans and Penalty Points Outside ESL One League bans and penalty points outside ESL One do normally not apply towards ESL One except when the punishment has been awarded for cheating. Some other misbehaviours like ringing/faking or insults can also be punished, depending on the severity. Live Matches The term “Live Matches” refers to matches that take place in a public location, during events, matches in the ESL-TV studio, or ESL-TV broadcast matches. Discipline We are competing on the latest patch of Dota 2 by Valve Corporation 7 Administration Alexander Nehr: Tournament Director Carsten Kramer: Director League Ops Johan Godderis: Lead League Ops Joep van ’t Hof: Co-Lead League Ops The instructions of the administration and referees should always be obeyed and followed. Failure to do so may result in penalty points being awarded. General Rule Changes ESL reserves the right to amend, remove, or otherwise change the rules, without further notice. ESL also reserves the right to make judgment on cases not specifically covered by the rulebook in order to preserve the spirit of fair competition and sportsmanship. Validity of the Rules If a provision of this rulebook is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect the validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this rulebook or the validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other provision of this rulebook. Confidentiality The contents of private messages, support tickets, any discussions at all, email conversations or any other correspondence with tournament officials and administrators are deemed strictly confidential. The publication of such material is prohibited without a written consent from the ESL One tournament directors. Additional Agreements The ESL One administration is not responsible for any additional agreements, nor do they agree to enforce any such agreements made between individual players or teams. ESL One highly discourages such agreements taking place, and such agreements that are contradicting the ESL One rulebook are under no circumstances allowed. Match Broadcasting Rights All broadcasting rights of ESL One matches are owned by the ESL Gaming GmbH. This includes any material that was at some point a live production, but does not include Dota TV. 8 Waiving These Rights ESL Gaming GmbH has the right to award broadcasting rights for one or multiple matches to a third party or the participants themselves. In such cases the broadcasts must have been arranged with the broadcast distribution management before the start of the match. For the necessary contact details please contact [email protected] and make ​ ​ sure any additional broadcast has been approved before the match in question starts. Player Responsibility Players cannot refuse to have their matches broadcast by ESL-authorized broadcasts nor can they choose in what manner the match will be broadcast. The broadcast can only be rejected by a referee. The player agrees to make sufficient accommodation so that broadcasting of matches can take place. Communication The main official communication method of ESL One is email, and Discord to a lesser concern. Conditions of Participation in ESL One The following conditions must be met in order to participate in ESL One. Age Restriction All participants of ESL One have to be over 16 years of age. Home Country/Region Any individual player may not participate in or try to qualify for the same event from more than one country or region. ESL One otherwise follows the official DPC regulations available here. ​ Player Details When requested, players are required to send us all needed information including but not limited to full name, contact details, steam profile requirements and media requirements. Nicknames Nicknames must follow the Valve-approved nicknames that teams have submitted to the DPC. No sponsor tags are allowed in the nickname nor offensive words under any circumstance. 9 Game Accounts All players must play with their own personal account. If this is not possible for any reason the administration must approve a secondary account. Licenses in ESL One Definition Before each tournament, ESL awards the ESL One License to the participating teams, or individuals.

Games involve people to a large extent where they relate them- selves with the game characters; this is commonly known as game immer- sion. Generally, some players play games for enjoyment, some for stress relaxation and so on.Game immersion is usually used to describe the degree of involvement with a game. When people play games, they don’t necessar- ily realize that they have been dissociated with the surrounding world. Real world dissociation (RWD) can be defined as the situation where a player is less aware of the surroundings outside the game than about what is happen- ing in the game itself. The RWD factor has been expected to measure the losing track of time, lack of awareness of surroundings and mental trans- portation. Objectives. In this thesis, we measure and compare the difference in game immersion between experienced and inexperienced players using RWD fac- tor.

The coming two years will be crucial in how fast it grows into a multi-billion-dollar business. The key determining factors are the success of local leagues and the franchising approach, the implementation of regulations, the arrival of new game formats and competition, the uptake of content rights sales, team profitability, and the impact of industry convergence involving traditional media, entertainment, telecom, and sports companies. Depending on how these factors play out in the coming year or two, esports’ growth could accelerate and reach $2.4 billion in 2020 in an optimistic scenario, almost $1 billion higher than the base scenario of $1.5 billion. Europe has been one of the most important regions in the development of the esports industry. Some of the first organizations that made esports popular, especially in the West, originate from Europe. Most notable is ESL, arguably the world’s largest esports organization, which has its roots in Germany. The company has helped build and shape esports from small community events to record-breaking events, including the Intel Extreme Masters in Katowice and ESL One in Cologne.

Tran An Lapland University of Applied Sciences Innovative Business Services Bachelor’s Degree 2017 Abstract of Thesis School of Business and Culture Innovative Business Services Bachelor Degree Author An Tran Year 2017 Supervisor Eija Turunen Title of Thesis Cross-cultures impact on video game industry. Case study: Dota 2’s game design and customer experience. Number of pages + App. 58 + 19 The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the culture’s impact on online game designs, how the game could attract players internationally with culturally adaptive design and last but not least create its own digital culture among its players. The main finding of the thesis was the importance of culture in the current online game industry. Since the players were from all around the world, their cultural impacts on the game’s design could be greater than ever. Companies who are aiming for the international market should take different cross-cultural factors under consideration while having the game developed. By studying Dota 2’s design from basic cross-cultural viewpoints of Hofstede’s theory, it was able to explain partly the success of this phenomenon in e-sports, bring out the reasons how an MMORPG can build up its own borderless empire and digital culture. On the other hand, the thesis also suggested solutions to deal with a few current problems the case game’s in-game features and its item designs.

  • Character Balance in MOBA Games
    Character Balance in MOBA Games Faculty of Arts Department of Game Design Authors: Emanuel Palm, Teodor Norén Bachelor’s Thesis in Game Design, 15 hp Program: Game Design and Programming Supervisors: Jakob Berglund Rogert, Masaki Hayashi Examiner: Mikael Fridenfalk June, 2015 Abstract As live streaming of video games has become easier, electronic sports have grown quickly and they are still increasing as tournaments grow in viewers and prizes. The purpose of this paper is to examine the theory Metagame Bounds by applying it to League of Legends and Dota 2, to see if it is a valid way of looking at character balance in the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena game genre. The main mode of both games consist of matches played on a map where a team of five players is up against another team of five players. Characters in the games generally have four abilities and a number of attributes, making them complex to compare without context. We gathered character data from websites and entered the data into a file that we used with the Metagame Bounds application. We compared the graphs that the data yielded with how often a character wins and how often it is played. To examine whether the characters were balanced we also played the games and analysed the characters in depth. All statistical data gathered was retrieved over the span of a few hours on the 21st of April 2015 from the websites Champion.gg for League of Legends and Dotabuff for Dota 2. Sirlin’s (2001) definition of multiplayer game balance is “A multiplayer game is balanced if a reasonably large number of options available to the player are viable – especially, but not limited to, during high-level play by expert players.” and with the data we see that these games are balanced in terms of characters according to that definition.
