Global esports explores the recent surge of esports in the global
scene and comprehensively discusses people's understanding of this
spectacle. By historicizing and institutionalizing esports, the
contributors analyze the rapid growth of esports and its
implications in culture and digital economy. Dal Yong Jin curates a
discussion as to why esports has become a global phenomenon. From
games such as Spacewar to Starcraft to Overwatch, a key theme,
distinguishing this collection from others, is a potential shift of
esports from online to mobile gaming. The book addresses why many
global game players and fans play and enjoy online and mobile games
in professional game competitions, and therefore, they investigate
the manner in which the transfer to, from and between online and
mobile gaming culture is occurring in a specific subset of global
youth. The remaining focus identifies the major platforms used to
enjoy esports, including broadcasting and smartphones. By analyzing
these unexamined or less-discussed agendas, this book sheds light
on the current debates on the growth of global esports culture.
