Abstract
Recently, amendments to the e-Sports Act have been proposed in the Korea National Assembly. To evaluate the amendments, this study provided five factors of the e-sports industry: the high accessibility, the instability of the game, the difficulty of professional e-sports players, the fierce competition, and the lack of government policy. Based on these factors, this study suggested improvement in which the e-Sports Act should proceed for professional e-sports players, e-sports teams, and e-sports establishments.
