Abstract:

This study explains how women’s football strategically transfers the sports league’s image from hyper-sexualized women’s sports entertainment to the real football league. By focusing on the commercial messages from the Lingerie Football League and the Legends Football League, the author could understand the nature of the sexualized culture as the unique entertainment women’s sports league. By adopting reading sport critically (McDonald & Birrell, 1999), the purpose of this study is to understand the difference between the Lingerie and Legends Football League (LFL). This study further examined how women’s erotic capital performed in the LFL. Thus, in what follows, the author explores the extent to which the LFL strategically manages the mediated athletic bodies—in terms of adornments, types of movement, and media framing—presented to its viewership. In so doing, this analysis looks at the mediated feminine body as it is transformed, made into a site for maximum erotic capital. The findings indicate how the critical perspectives explain the LFL context and provide suggestions for further exploring a newly formed women’s professional sports league.

Abstract:

In this paper, we take the first step towards building comprehensive bots capable of playing a simplified version of League of Legends, a popular 5v5 online multiplayer game. We implement two different agents, one using Reinforcement Learning and the other via Supervised Long Short Term Memory Network. League of Legends provides a partially observable game environment with an action space much larger than games like Chess or Go.

Abstract:

This article examines the significance of two types of expertise in the popular multiplayer video game League of Legends. Previous research into multiplayer games has explored a variety of expertise models, some which concern only a player’s mastery of the controls and some which take negotiation of a game’s sociocultural context into account. This article analyzes play in League of Legends through the lens of a binary model of expertise, outlining examples of the in-game and out-of-game practices used by players in their pursuit of competitive success. I argue that forms of out-of-game or “metagame” expertise are of particular importance in League of Legends and are of such depth that further research would be highly valuable.

Abstract:

A ascensão dos eSports tem revelado o surgimento de um novo segmento, denominado Esporte Fantasy. Nesta proposição, jogos online possuem sua mecânica de pontuação atrelados a outros jogos praticados por equipes e desta forma, ao selecionar um jogador virtual, este acaba tendo conexão direta com um jogador real. Dentre os jogos de eSports, League of Legends tem se destacado internacionalmente. Considerando este cenário, este artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento da plataforma League Fantasy, um Esporte Fantasy relacionado ao jogo League of Legends, baseado na metodologia de design de jogos de Rollings e Morris (2004).

Abstract:

This paper explores the representation of female athletes within the Legends Football League (LFL; formerly ‘Lingerie Football League’) in 2013. Specifically, the study seeks to understand the vision of women’s sport, and female athletes, which the LFL propagates. Drawing on a combined content and semiotic analysis of the commentary and visuals featured in 26 LFL matches broadcast online in 2013, our data suggests that the LFL presents apparently conflicting images of sexualized, but ‘powerful’ female athletes. We discuss these data relative to competing interpretive approaches to female sexuality in sports media, and join other sports media scholars in advocating audience reception research as a necessary next step to grasping this emergent sport’s significance. Cet article examine la représentation d’athlètes féminines au sein de la Legends Football League (« Ligue de football des légendes » ou LFL, anciennement la « Lingerie Football League » ou « Ligue de football en lingerie ») en 2013. L’étude cherche spécifiquement à comprendre la vision du sport féminin et des athlètes féminines que la LFL propage. En se basant sur une analyse de contenu et sémiotique des commentaires et images trouvés dans les retransmissions en ligne de 26 matchs de la LFL en 2013, les données suggèrent que la LFL présente des images apparemment contradictoires d’athlètes sexualisées mais « puissantes ». Nous discutons ces données par rapport à d’autres approches interprétatives pour étudier la sexualité féminine dans les médias sportifs. Nous nous joignons aussi à d’autres chercheurs sur les médias sportifs en prônant la recherche sur la réception de l’audience comme prochaine étape afin de mieux saisir la signification de ce sport émergent.

Abstract:

With its release in late 2009, League of Legends (Riot Games) has influenced the game industry in several profound ways. Known for its vast popularity and its pivotal role in pioneering live streaming and electronic sports, League of Legends is also noteworthy for its model of ‘fair’ free-to-play. Described by Riot Games and many industry professionals as ‘fair’ due to its lack of any ‘pay-to-win’ content ( Graft, 2013 ; Nutt, 2014 ), this model of free-to-play has gone on to influence a paradigmatic shift towards ‘games as a service’. In this study, the model of ‘fair’ free-to-play is critically framed as a lucrative affective economy involving reciprocal gift exchanges between players and commercial games developers. Drawing on 49 qualitative Reddit responses from players who buy in-game skins, this study positions the microtransactions of League of Legends as a notable example of affective economics that is bound up in reciprocal forms of commercial exchange. Framing this hybrid model of co-creative relations alongside examples from game, fan and Internet studies, it is the critical aim of this study to frame the microtransactions of League of Legends as an instance of affective valorisation. Paralleling the affective economics of various digital platforms, it is the view of this study that microtransactions in games should be considered as part of the same political economy of the Internet.

Abstract:

Анотація. Підготовка професійних спортсменів базується на усталених наукових дослідженнях. Кіберспортивні тренування ще не входять в поле досліджень спортивної науки в повному обсязі. Мета. Дослідити особливості техніко-тактичної підготовки спортсменів та визначити її структуру і значущість у кіберспортивній дисципліні League of Legends. Методи. Аналіз науково-методичної літератури та даних мережі Інтернет, правил змагань, відеоаналіз змагань кіберспортивної дисципліни League of Legends, анкетування гравців з жанру МОВА, методи експертної оцінки та математичної статистики. Результати. Техніко-тактична підготовленість кіберспортсмена ґрунтується на засвоєнні арсеналу різноманітних технічних прийомів та умінь ефективно застосовувати ці прийоми в поєднанні з тактичними діями залежно від змагальної ситуації під час гри. Техніку в кіберспорті визначають як сукупність групи прийомів та способів володіння об’єктом та навколишнім середовищем і штучним простором гри відповідно до дисципліни. До техніко-тактичних дій у League of Legends віднесено: кайтинг, ластхіт, пуш, фриз, деф, інвейд, поук, стилл, АОЄ, байт, бебісит, бекдор, вардинг, дайв, джук, зонінг, ліш. Техніко-тактичні дії виконуються практично в кожній сутичці з різними супротивниками. Техніка в League of Legends містить рухову техніку (біомеханічні рухи, які виконує гравець під час самої гри) та програмну техніку (налаштування програми під свій стиль гри з можливістю змінювати налаштування контролерів). При здійснені технічних дій кіберспортсмен у середньому виконує понад 600 натискань на клавішу комп’ютерної миші за хвилину, його рука переміщується по робочій поверхні; комп’ютерна миша виступає вказівником на моніторі від місця до місця. Тактика в кіберспортивній дисципліні League of Legends обумовлена мінливістю подій, що відбуваються під час матчу та під час стадії вибору персонажів перед грою. Для гри характерна наявність класів, до яких належать персонажі. Залежно від типажу персонажа гравець використовує певний стиль гри. Найпоширеніша тактична дія – кайтинг. Вона досконало відпрацьована спортсменами, виконується автоматично на великій швидкості, оскільки в грі максимальна швидкість атаки становить 2,4 АА/с. Найбільш значущою визначено тактичну дію вардинг як основний вид запобігання планам супротивників (32 бали), на другому місці – контроль міні-мапи (50 балів), на третьому – знешкодження стратегічних об’єктів (55 балів), далі – контроль хвиль міньйонів (58 балів). Для планування тактичних та стратегічних дій необхідною умовою є володіння певною кількістю персонажів. Нами виділено характеристики, що надають максимальну інформацію про персонажа: позиції; роль; здібності; руни; предмети; збірки; контрпіки. Результати опитування свідчать про надання переваги агресивному стилю гри, на другому місті два стилі – атакуючий та контратакуючий, третє місце – оборонний, четверте віддано пасивному стилю гри. Ключові слова: кіберспорт, кіберспортивна дисципліна League of Legends, техніка, тактика, структура, дії.

Abstract:

Penelitian ini menganalisis plagiarisme yang dilakukan oleh pengembang dan penerbit permainan video Montoon terhadap Riot games melalui video games yang berjudul Mobile Legends Bang Bang yang digarap oleh Montoon dan League of Legends yang digarap oleh Riot Games. Hal ini berdampak pada para pelaku pengembang game video dikarenakan Montoon dapat dengan mudahnya meraup keuntungan dengan menjiplak banyak ide visual, konsep, dan desain yang digarap oleh Riot Games. Kegiatan plagiarisme dalam dunia video game menjadikan pengembang dan penerbit malas dalam berpikir dan mencari ide baru karena ketika plagiarisme sudah dinormalisasi. Para pengembang akan terus cenderung melakukan plagiarisme kepada pengembang yang lain. Selain itu jika pelaku plagiarisme mendapat perhatian lebih dari audience, pengembang aslinya juga akan kehilangan identitas yang sudah lama dibangun sebelumnya. Pada penelitian ini digunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Dalam pengumpulan data penelitiannya, peneliti menggunakan data hasil observasi dari berbagai sumber dan melalui dokumen yang ada. Peneliti bertujuan untuk membahas berbagai plagiarism yang dilakukan oleh Montoon dari sisi desain. Dari data yang sudah terkumpul dapat diketahui bahwa Moonton melakukan tipe plagiat total dengan tingkat jumlah plagiat lebih dari 70% .

Abstract:

Over the past 30 years, a large body of research has accrued demonstrating that video games are capable of placing substantial demands on the human cognitive, emotional, physical, and social processing systems. Within the cognitive realm, playing games belonging to one particular genre, known as the action video game genre, has been consistently linked with demands on a host of cognitive abilities including perception, top-down attention, multitasking, and spatial cognition. More recently, a number of new game genres have emerged that, while different in many ways from “traditional” action games, nonetheless seem likely to load upon similar cognitive processes. One such example is the multiplayer online battle arena genre (MOBA), which involves a mix of action and real-time strategy characteristics. Here, a sample of over 500 players of the MOBA game League of Legends completed a large battery of cognitive tasks. Positive associations were observed between League of Legends performance (quantified by participants’ in-game match-making rating) and a number of cognitive abilities consistent with those observed in the existing action video game literature, including speed of processing and attentional abilities. Together, our results document a rich pattern of cognitive abilities associated with high levels of League of Legends performance and suggest similarities between MOBAs and action video games in terms of their cognitive demands.

Abstract:

Elite video game competition provides a setting for studying how digitally connected teams handle massive amounts of information that no individual could manage on their own. This article discusses observations of the University of California, Irvine's scholarship League of Legends teams' practices and competitions from fall 2016 through spring 2017. The observations explore the nature of distributed cognition of time and temporal information in a high-pressure, competitive environment. The capacity and strategies of these teams to maintain high levels of coordination, while sitting at desktops for hours at a time, can provide insight into how other kinds of teams might learn to collaborate skillfully in networked settings.

Abstract:

Every month, millions of users worldwide play the online digital game League of Legends, which also contains a server dedicated to the Brazilian region. Social oppression by race, skin color, sexual orientation, among others, occurs within the game and is reported constantly. In this paper, we analyzed possible indications of depressive disorder by using an online questionnaire as a basis. We used quantitative and qualitative methods, analyzing the relationship between the interactions and the social identities of the players. We define quantitative hypotheses and qualitative syntheses related to different social factors of the game through the analysis of 604 responses. League of Legends has a negative influence on the mental health of socially peripheral players, and the qualitative analysis exposes specific and widespread cases of oppression and discrimination. We present a discussion on ethics, possible collusion with oppression, and proposals for mitigation or solution.

Abstract:

Introdução: O crescente número de jogadores dentro do âmbito eletrônico, seja de maneira lúdica ou profissional, nos leva a voltar a atenção para a saúde destes e riscos aos quais estão submetidos. Acredita-se que os e-Sports, como são chamados os esportes eletrônicos, podem oferecer riscos musculoesqueléticos aos que praticam, tendo em vista os constantes movimentos repetitivos (em especial dos punhos e mãos), posturas adotadas e a elevada carga horária em frente ao computador. Objetivo: Analisar de forma individualizada o risco de desenvolvimento de lesões, especialmente de membros superiores, em jogadores de League of Legends. Bem como verificar a postura e biomecânica, traçando, assim, um perfil ergonômico. População e métodos: Em 2020, foram coletados dados ergonômicos de cinco jogadores de League of Legends e comparados com a norma regulamentadora de ergonomia (NR17). Com isso, foram aplicados um auto questionário e os métodos RULA e MOORE GARG, para uma análise mais precisa dos riscos de lesões. Resultados: Foram verificados elevados riscos de lesões em jogadores, decorrentes da alta carga horária frente ao computador, somada ao mau posicionamento e utilização de equipamentos e mobiliários inadequados. As regiões mais prejudicadas em consequência destes fatores, foram punho-mão e a coluna vertebral. Conclusão: Faz-se necessário a propagação de conhecimentos ergonômicos voltada para jogadores de e-Sports, com intuito de orientá-los e prevenir o risco de lesões, proporcionando melhor desempenho e qualidade de vida a estes jogadores Palavras-chave: Ergonomia.

Abstract:

Performance analysis is a well-established discipline in sports science, supported by decades of research. Comparatively, performance analysis in electronic sports (esports) is limited. Therefore, there is an opportunity to accelerate performance outcomes in esports by applying methods grounded in sports science. This study adopted a coach-centred approach to model performance at the 2018 League of Legends World Championship. Three expert coaches rated the proposed relationship between 43 variables and match outcomes in professional League of Legends competition using a Likert scale (1–10). The Likert scale was anchored with ‘no relationship’ at 1 and ‘very strong relationship’ at 10. The coaches’ median ratings were calculated for each variable. Variables with a median score ≥6 were retained for analyses. A total of 14 variables were collected from the 2018 League of Legends World Championship (n = 119) matches via video annotations and match histories. Generalized Linear Mixed Effects Models with binomial logit link function were implemented with respect to the Blue Side winning or losing the match, and individual teams were specified as random effects. Variables were screened for multicollinearity before using a step-up approach. The best model of performance included Tower Percentage (p = 0.006) and Number of Inhibitors (p = 0.029). This model achieved classification accuracy of 95.8%. While Tower Percentage and Number of Inhibitors contributed to winning or losing, further research is required to determine effective strategies to improve these variables, to understand the relevance of these variables across the complete time-series of the match, and to determine whether performance indicators remain stable across game updates.

Abstract:

ESports, also known as competitive video gaming, has seen tremendous growth over the past few years. Several studies have been conducted that examined the potential cognitive benefits of playing video games, but few have examined the psychosocial factors needed to perform at the highest level of competitive video gaming. In this study, the researchers aimed to identify specific mental obstacles players face and any mental techniques gamers already utilize by conducting a qualitative content analysis. Interviews with five high-level competitive League of Legend players were conducted to shed light on their experiences. The interviews resulted in two high order themes. Those high order themes were the following: techniques used to achieve optimal performance and obstacles encountered by competitive gamers. The data collected can be used by a wide population in both the performance psychology field and the eSports realm, more specifically, future mental skills consultants working with League of Legends players, gamers themselves, and academics who wish to serve, improve, or study those involved in an emerging performance domain.

Abstract:

Designing female character in video game has been criticized as being sexually objectified and underrepresented in quantity (number of characters and their appearance rate in the game) and in quality (take only secondary role and inferior ability statistics given). In this paper, we analyze world leading multiple-user online battle arena game league of legends to see if previously criticized gender inequality of champions still stands and conduct a survey of 1,403 players of that game and asks how they feel about serious gender disproportion of utility support champions (all females). The result shows that league of legends still has serious gender disparity in performance parameters and there has been only a small change in 5-year span (2014-2019). The survey result tells us that game players also feel political incorrectness of such gender disproportion, but they accept such gender prototype because they have been taught as such as social role theory explains gender inequality issues.

Abstract:

Today, esports such as League of Legends are a popular form of competition using video games. Many researchers have conducted studies in the esports field such as player psychology, training, and physical exercise; however, those that apply quantitative techniques are still scarce. In this paper, Analytic Hierarchy Process is proposed for weighting position and skillsets of players in League of Legends. It is hypothesized by the developer that pairwise comparison can be used to derive priority scale through the judgment of experts. A questionnaire is designed to obtain pairwise comparison from players which are then used to develop the priority scale. The empirical results obtained show the weightage of position and skillset of each player. This weightage shows the priorities of certain position compared to other positions, and the priorities of skillsets needed to perform well in each position, based on their judgment. The results can be used to determine the most suitable players for each position with the right skillset quantitatively and systematically.

Abstract:

Objective: This paper investigates factors impacting team performance in the Multi-player Online Battle Arena gaming environment, League of Legends™, by testing an integrated Input Mediator-Outcome team effectiveness framework. Background: Secondary data and Naturally Occurring Data Sets (NODS) are data that have been collected from respondents without research interests in mind and can occur naturally in the environment. There are numerous sources of secondary data, including government data, financial databases, industry association groups, and Application Programming Interfaces, which this research utilizes to study the performance of teams. Methods: Path Analysis and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) are analytical methods that are well suited for large data sets and sample sizes, confirmatory in nature, and can test a theoretical model. This research utilizes both in order to study factors impacting team performance. Results: A total of 5,927 matches from 742 teams are sampled and analyzed. Six team performance measures are used to discriminate between winning and losing teams, including role familiarity, team familiarity, team effectiveness, team efficiency, and the Kills, Deaths, Assist (KDA) ratio. Using path analysis and supervised PLS-DA, the models led to the successful prediction of 89.4% of the matches. The error rate for the PLS-DA model is 0.106 (Q2 = 0.523; R2 = 0.551). Conclusions: This work shows how objective, detailed data on teamwork may be used to provide insights into questions of the performance of teams. Additionally, the results demonstrate the value of using path analysis and PLS-DA to test an integrated framework. Application: This research highlights the value and feasibility of studying virtual teams for new insights into team performance.

Abstract:

Esports, like traditional sports, face governance challenges such as foul play and match fixing. The esports industry has seen various attempts at governance structure but is yet to form a consensus. In this study, we explore esports governance in League of Legends (LoL), a major esports title. Through a two-stage, mixed-methods analysis of rule enforcement that Riot Games, LoL's developer and publisher, has performed against esports participants such as professional players and teams, we qualitatively describe rule breaking behaviors and penalties in LoL esports, and quantitatively measure how contextual factors such as time, perpetrator identity, and region might influence governance outcomes. These findings about rule enforcement allow us to characterize the esports governance of LoL as top-down and paternalistic, and to reflect upon professional players' work and professionalization in the esports context. We conclude by discussing translatable implications for esports governance practice and research.

Abstract:

O League of Legends é um jogo eletrônico que exige várias horas diárias de treinamento em frente ao computador levando seus praticantes a um estilo de vida sedentária. Hábitos de vida sedentários associados a uma má alimentação gera uma predisposição maior ao sobrepeso. O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o perfil antropométrico e consumo alimentar de atletas de League of Legends. Trata se de um estudo transversal realizado com jogadores da cidade de Vitória da Conquista-BA. Os participantes foram submetidos a avaliação antropométrica e do consumo alimentar. Para avaliação antropométrica foram mensurados peso, altura, circunferências e dobras cutâneas. Para determinar ingestão calórica, de macronutrientes e micronutrientes, foram utilizados questionário de frequência alimentar e registro alimentar. Foi observado que os jogadores apresentavam sobrepeso segundo IMC (25,3 ± 6.04 kg/m²) e percentual de gordura corporal bastante heterogêneos (17,6 ± 0,72 %), classificado como “abaixo da média”. Em relação ao padrão de ingestão alimentar, os grupos alimentares dos tubérculos, frutas, castanhas e amêndoas apresentaram menores taxas de consumo diário; o registro alimentar identificou inadequações nos três macronutrientes, assim como nos micronutrientes magnésios, sódio e vitamina B3. O presente estudo identificou desbalanço tanto no perfil antropométrico quanto no perfil nutricional dos jogadores.

Abstract:

Objective: This research investigates the effect of “critical” team members and team familiarity on team performance in the Multi-player Online Battle Arena gaming environment, League of Legends™. Background: A critical team member is any member of a team whose presence (or absence) can have a dramatic impact on the team’s ability to reach their objective, while team familiarity can be viewed as the knowledge team members have about one another and the knowledge team members have about the tasks that must be accomplished. Methods: Data visualization techniques and logistic regression is used to explore team data collected from publicly accessible sources for the online game League of Legends, which is one of the most popular games in the world. Results: The proportion of time a team’s “Carry” is incapacitated (the “critical” team member) during a given match has a direct impact on how the team performs. Conclusions: The results show that critical team positions exist on teams, and can have a significant effect on achieving the team’s goals. In addition, there is a need for the development of tools, techniques and measures to bring “Big Data” to bear in the study of teamwork. Application: This research illustrates the feasibility of exploring online gaming data for new insights into team performance.

Abstract:

Team cohesion is a widely known predictor of performance and collaborative satisfaction. However, how it develops and can be assessed, especially in fast-paced ad hoc dynamic teams, remains unclear. An unobtrusive and objective behavioural measure of cohesion would help identify determinants of cohesion in these teams. We investigated team communication as a potential measure in a mixed-methods study with 48 teams (n=135) in the digital game League of Legends. We first established that cohesion shows similar performance and satisfaction in League of Legends. teams as in non-game teams and confirmed a positive relationship between communication word frequency and cohesion. Further, we conducted an in-depth exploratory qualitative analysis of the communication sequences in a high-cohesion and a low-cohesion team. High cohesion is associated with sequences of apology->encouragement, suggestion->agree/acknowledge, answer->answer, and answer->question, while low-cohesion is associated with sequences of opinion/analysis->opinion/analysis, disagree->disagree, command->disagree, and frustration->frustration. Our findings also show that cohesion is important to team satisfaction independently of the match outcomes. We highlight that communication sequences are more useful than frequencies to determine team cohesion via player interactions.

Abstract:

Esta pesquisa empírico-exploratória teve o objetivo de investigar a “dependência de jogos” de uma perspectiva analítico-comportamental. As informações foram obtidas por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com três voluntários do sexo masculino, maiores de dezoito anos, e que jogavam por dia, em média, pelo menos quatro horas ininterruptas o jogo League of Legends. A análise funcional mostrou que a alta frequência diária com que os participantes jogam, e os efeitos prejudiciais a ela associados, pode ser esclarecida pela inter-relação entre contingências de reforçamento positivo e negativo, que se dá na forma de um ciclo vicioso: quanto mais os participantes jogam mais reforçadores naturais e arbitrários produzem no contexto virtual e mais eventos aversivos sociais produzem no ambiente não-virtual, o que acaba fortalecendo o próprio jogar como esquiva do ambiente não-virtual. Com efeito, a “dependência de jogos” pode prescindir de explicações psicopatológicas, que recorrem a causas internas como ímpeto ou impulso.

Abstract:

Objective: This research studies the impact of role familiarity on team performance by examining performance of the “Carry” role in the Multi-player Online Battle Arena gaming environment, League of Legends™. Background: Roles are typically defined as stable patterns of expectations, relationships, and behaviors. As social constructs, roles therefore include notions of status, relationships with additional social actors, and of defined sets of behaviors tied to the assigned role. We hypothesize that the importance of role familiarity in teams is mediated by the nature and extent of team members’ experience working together in defined roles. Methods: The data set used for this study is from League of Legends’ Application Program Interface and consists of ranked match play from 2011–2016. Results: ANOVA and visualization techniques are used to explore match-level data in order to address the proposed research questions. The proportion of time the same team member is assigned to the “Carry” role (role familiarity) has a direct and positive impact on team performance. Conclusions: This study shows how objective, detailed data on teamwork may be used to provide insights into questions of the composition and performance of teams. Additionally, the results illustrate the importance of role familiarity in the performance of teams. Application: This research highlights the value and feasibility of studying virtual teams for new insights into team performance.

Abstract:

This article examines fan articulations in response to a Facebook post announcing the results of the final match between G2 Esports and Fun Plus Phoenix (FPX) during the 2019 League of Legends World Championships. Five themes emerged after analysing the data, which are: (1) expressions of congratulations to FPX, the team that won the championship; (2) references to SK Telecom T1, a Korean team that has won the most titles in LoL World Championship history; (3) negative articulations towards G2, implying that they are a bad team; (4) statements discussing tactics and gameplay during the match; and (5) articulations that G2 deserved to lose because of their trash talking against their competitors on social media. This article argues that LoL fans’ comments drew on players’ knowledge of the game, and the fandom’s mediascape, thereby demonstrating the dynamics of transmedia intertextuality within their community. Fan articulations on G2’s poor performance, as well as the tactics and gameplay used by both teams during the finals, were informed by players’ knowledge of how to succeed in LoL. On the contrary, comments that articulated that G2 deserved to lose indicated fans’ familiarity with the Twitter trash talk that took place prior to the final matches. In this case study, LoL fans’ comments exemplify transmedia, with statements about the 2019 World Championship Finals drawing on knowledge from other media.

Abstract:

Video games have been broadcasted on television for several decades, but gaming programs reached their peak at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Their popularity dropped significantly when access to the Internet became popular. Game fans thus gained access to information and film material from video games. Polsat Games is another TV channel in Polsat’s rich offer. It deals with the subject of video games with a strong emphasis on e-sport. In addition to broadcasts about games, documentaries and quasi-documentaries as well as anime series are broadcast on it. The channel has launched its own esports league where players play League of Legends. The channel’s viewers are mostly young men, but its viewership results are not impressive. Internet channels on YouTube and Twitch which Polsat Games provides are more popular than the traditional TV channel, transmitting games live and publishing episodes of gaming shows.
