Po bezgólovom priebehu zdolala v penaltovom rozstrele Írsko a postúpila do novembrového finále baráže, ktoré absolvuje v Severnom Írsku. Inak platí, že po katastrofálnom septembri boli Slováci slabí aj v októbri. Následne totiž prehrali v Lige národov v Škótsku (0:1) a doma s Izraelom (2:3). Vo všetkých piatich tohtoročných zápasoch nedokázali zverenci trénera Pavla Hapala zvíťaziť v riadnom hracom čase. Výsledky priniesli reakciu. Český kormidelník končí v národnom tíme, meno dočasného kouča národného tímu spoznáme v utorok a do nového roka už vstúpi reprezentácia s iným trénerom.

Martin, CFA & CMT – [email protected] / (917) 373-3066 September 5, 2019 Dan Medina – [email protected] / (626) 893-2925 eSports High Impact and Investable For the past decade, eSports has been growing on the main stage in Asia and in stealth mode in the US. This report addresses questions we get most often from investors about eSports: ➢ What is eSports? Definitions differ. Our definition of eSports is “players competing at a video game in front of a live audience while being live-streamed.” By implication, viewing, attendance, and playing time are linked, and each creates revenue streams for eSports. ➢ How big is eSports? Globally, one out of every three (ie, 33%) 18-25 year olds spent more than an hour a day playing video games, 395mm people watched eSports, and 250mm people played Fortnite in 2018. eSports revenue will be $1.1B in 2019, up 26% y/y. ➢ Should investors care about eSports? We would argue “yes”, owing to: a) global scale; b) time spent playing and viewing; c) compelling demographics; d) eSports vs traditional sports trends; e) revenue growth; and, f) sports betting should supercharge US eSports. ➢ Is eSports a fad? We would argue “no”, owing to: a) many US Universities now offer Varsity eSports scholarships; b) new special purpose eSports stadiums are proliferating; c) billionaires are investing to make eSports successful; d) audience growth; and, e) Olympics potential. ➢ Why have you never heard of eSports? Because zero of the top 30 earning players in the world were from the US in 2018.

Esports Spectatorship in Australia 2 Networked Society Institute, University of Melbourne Executive summary Esports – the organised, professional and spectated play of competitive digital games – has evolved into a massive global industry in the past decade. Boasting significant market value and broad global audience reach, esports is driven by modern highspeed internet infrastructure and live-streaming platforms like Twitch.tv. However, esports has yet to take hold as an industry in Australia, largely due to geographical isolation from major esports regions compounded by Australia’s traditionally lacklustre network infrastructure. Although the esports industry relies on various revenue streams, sponsorship and advertising deals provide the industry’s main source of funding. Teams, tournaments and esports organisations of various sizes are sponsored by major international companies like Intel, Samsung and Mercedes-Benz.

  • Chapter 8 – Discussion
    Constructing authentic esports spectatorship: An ethnography David Jian-Jia Cumming ORCID: 0000-0002-0121-476X Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2020 School of Computing and Information Systems Melbourne School of Engineering The University of Melbourne Abstract Formally organised competitive video gaming, commonly known as esports, has seen a rapid rise in popularity over the past decade as a form of spectator entertainment. Thousands of fans pack grand stadia across the globe to watch their favourite esports teams and players compete for extravagant prize pools, while millions watch online remotely in their homes via livestreaming platforms like Twitch. Unlike conventional sports however, there is no inherent need for esports to take place in any particular physically-situated site like a stadium. The computerised nature of esports lends the practice a perceived placeless quality. No matter where an esports event is situated, be it in a stadium or networked across homes, the digital synthetic environments in which players’ avatars compete remain the same as objective constructs of code and graphical assets. If the perspective of watching esports is largely the same across different sites by virtue of its inherent mediation, then why is esports spectated beyond the comfort of the home? The aim of this thesis is to address this conundrum by exploring the experiences esports spectatorship in varying contexts. In particular, this thesis seeks to understand how experiences of esports spectatorship are influenced by and differ across various sites of spectatorship. This aim is achieved through an ethnographic methodology, where data is generated through embedded interactions and experiences with esports spectators at three distinct sites of esports spectatorship.

While mobile has quickly grown as the biggest gaming screen worldwide, its esports scene is largely lagging behind that of PC and console. DAU in DAU in the West In Asia however, mobile esports is experiencing a boom, accelerated by the mobile-first China culture of the region. The phenomenon is especially outstanding in China, leading with top Battle of Balls Clash Royale franchises such as Tencent’s Honor of Kings and Giant Network’s Battle of Balls. In Asia, in China in the West mobile esports is expected to follow a similar structure to that of PC, with the top games being played and scalable stadium events taking place with large viewership. In the West, PC is still the dominant form of gaming entertainment and is expected to remain so for the coming years.

However, few have considered the role of transmediality as an explicit part of esport ecosystems—perhaps because of the strong tendency of both the industry and scholars to entertain esports as an extension to traditional sports (e.g., Kane & Spradley, 2017; Jenny et al., 2017; Hallmann & Giel, 2018) rather than part of fictional and narrative cultural lineages. In other words, transmedia studies have always been concerned with fictional and narrative cultural content in particular, and current esports research somewhat uncritically perceives the phenomenon as sports or sports-like to which fictional elements are trivial.

  • The Success of the Overwatch League: Is It Sustainable?
    The Success of the Overwatch League: Is it Sustainable? An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Tyler Nelson Thesis Advisor Dr. Khirey Walker Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2020 Expected Date of Graduation May 2020 Abstract Esports are a growing industry across the world.

The model is then used to examine the Overwatch League, an esport league that began competition in 2018, and concludes that the Overwatch League is structured for sustained success in the esport market.
