  • There Are No Women and They All Play Mercy
    "There Are No Women and They All Play Mercy": Understanding and Explaining (the Lack of) Women’s Presence in Esports and Competitive Gaming Maria Ruotsalainen University of Jyväskylä Department of Music, Art and Culture Studies Pl 35, 40014 University of Jyväskylä, Finland +358406469488 [email protected] Usva Friman University of Turku Digital Culture P.O.Box 124 FI-28101 Pori, Finland [email protected] ABSTRACT In this paper, we explore women’s participation in esports and competitive gaming. We will analyze two different types of research material: online questionnaire responses by women explaining their reluctance to participate in esports, and online forum discussions regarding women’s participation in competitive Overwatch. We will examine the ways in which women’s participation – its conditions, limits and possibilities – are constructed in the discussions concerning women gamers, how women are negotiating their participation in their own words, and in what ways gender may affect these processes. Our findings support those made in previous studies concerning esports and competitive gaming as fields dominated by toxic meritocracy and hegemonic (geek) masculinity, and based on our analysis, women’s room for participation in competitive gaming is still extremely limited, both in terms of presence and ways of participation. Keywords Gender, esports, hegemonic geek masculinity, toxic meritocracy, Overwatch INTRODUCTION "Why do the female humans always play the female characters?" Acayri wondered soon thereafter. "Like, they're always playing Mercy." "They can't play games and be good at them —" Joel responded. "That's true, so they just pick the hottest girl characters," Acayri said. The previous is an excerpt of an article published on a digital media site Mic on May 11th 2017 (Mulkerin, 2017).

  • Esports High Impact and Investable
    Needham Insights: Thought Leader Series Laura A. 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.

Some have powerful attacking abilities, while others support abilities for your team. Knowing how and when to react when you hear the ultimate enemy quote is the key to getting out of the line of fire and staying alive. We rank each Overwatch Ultimate Voice Line character from the least to the scariest so you know how urgently you need to respond... and what is best to do in this situation. We will continue to update this list as soon as Blizzard adds a few more characters to reset. In the meantime, watch out for these quotes when you play and know how best to react! Last updated: Wednesday, April 15 202032. Reality bends to my willSymmetraPoor old Symmetra. Initially one of the least played heroes in the game, and even after huge changes last year, still has not found himself in meta. However, it is much more enjoyable for both the game and the fight, and its ultimate can be useful, but only if perfectly placed, and is used similarly to zenyatta in the fight against the extremely spectacular enemy ultimate.31.

  • The Rise of a New Entertainment Category: Esports
    The Rise of a New Entertainment Category: Esports James Fong Chief Research Officer, UPCEA Director, UPCEA Center for Research and Strategy Brian Trench Research Assistant, UPCEA March 2019 ©Copyright 2019 University Professional and Continuing Education Association, All Rights Reserved Summary ● Esports is competitive video gaming in which teams and individuals compete against each other, usually in tournaments for cash prizes. Similar to entertainment, sports or lotteries, there are complexities regarding fielding competitive teams, sponsorships, marketing and managing events. A parallel to esports could be traditional professional sports or even NASCAR, where wagers are made, talent is recruited, events are created and promoted, and equipment and technology are designed to support the field. ● The market size for esports is expected to rise to $2.96 billion by 2022, much of which is in the form of sponsorships, betting, prize pools, merchandise, event revenues and tournament fees and admission, and advertising. ● Blue-chip brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jack in the Box, Intel, Snickers, and the Coca-Cola Company have all sponsored numerous esports tournaments for exposure to specific target audiences. ● Prominent figures including Michael Jordan, Mark Cuban, Steph Curry, and Steve Young have made substantial investments into esports, realizing the extension and parallels it has to sporting events. ● The development of franchise-based leagues, similar to those in professional sports leagues such as the NFL, is in its infancy, but this evolution is critical for the future-growth of esports. ● Over 100 universities have started esports teams which they use as a differentiating factor for attracting potential students. ● Esports gambling is expected to see large growth, from $315 million wagered in 2015 to $23.5 billion predicted in 2020.
