Research
Most of the research includes esports podcasts, documentaries, and articles. For example, for the League of Legends 10 year anniversary Championship that is held in Shanghai, China, there is a podcast on Spotify called “Untold Stories: Top Moments From Worlds”, which reveals some stories for the history of this esport. I would also try to find one book that’s related to the esports and watch more documentaries.
Global Study Themes
Public health: the game once held a COVID charity fundraiser event and enabled players to buy certain in-game merchandise to raise money for the charity organization.
Globalization: many international esports events are held in different countries and gather players from all over the world.
Arts: Beside running the game, companies also produce excellent music and drawing which their themes are based on one typic event or in-game characters.
