Digital Colosseums: Competitive Video Gaming as Mass Entertainment

Header image: Poster

Competitive gaming or electronic sports (e-sports) has been a part of gaming culture since the 1980s. New game mechanics and new media like streaming and casting have now brought e-sports to a wider audience than ever before.

Join us at this e-sports workshop as researchers and industry professionals help us investigate:

  • The impact of competitive electronic gaming

  • e-sports cultural and industry trends in Asia

  • Forming, engaging with, and sustaining e-sports communities

  • Reseach opportunities and directions in e-sports - and more!
