현재 국내 e스포츠 시장 규모와 사용자들이 지속적으로 증가되고 있는 시점에서 배틀그라운드라는 게임이 e스포츠 시장에 진입하였다. 배틀그라운드가 현재 e스포츠에 끼치고 있는 영향이 크지만, 좋은 반응을 유도하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 좋지 않은 평을 받고 있는 배틀그라운드의 e스포츠화와 과거의 스타크래프트, LOL(리그오브레전드)과는 달리 배틀그라운드가 흥행하지 못하는 이유와, e스포츠에 적합한지를 연구하고, 차선책을 제안한다.

1인칭 슈팅 게임(FPS) 장르는 오래 전부터 우리 게이머들의 사랑을 받아 왔다. 특히 2016년에는 오버워치가 그리고 2017년에는 아직 정식 출시도 하지 않은 배틀그라운드가 게임 시장에서 돌풍을 일으켜 현재 PC방 점유율에서 2, 3위를 기록하고 있다. 같은 FPS 라도 실은 우리 게이머에게 가장 익숙한 밀리터리 형 FPS에 비해 오버워치와 배틀그라운드는 서로 다른 형식을 갖고 있으며 이에 따라 전투의 방식과 게임의 목표, 무기 및 스킬의 활용도에서 여러 가지 차별성을 보이고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 전통적 밀리터리 형 게임으로 10년 역사를 가진 아바(A.V.A.) 온라인 게임을 선정하고 이것과 오버워치, 배틀그라운드 3자 간 전투 방식과 무기, 스킬 등의 차이를 비교 분석하여 성공적인 FPS 게임 흥행의 이유를 밝혀 보고자 하였다.

A battle royale game is a multiplayer video game genre that blends the survival and exploration with last-man-standing gameplay. The genre has been hot in recent years and the 'Player Unknown's Battleground' produced by Korean enterprise PUBG had been the hottest during 2017 and the first half of 2018. However, a similar battle royale game 'Fortnite' became the game of the year in 2018 and the Player Unknown's Battleground sustains the predominance only in Korea and China. In this paper, we investigate the game structure of those two games on combat, survival, farming and charging elements, We also conduct a user survey on what might be the weak point of the Player Unknown's Battleground and why they choose Fornite among users played both but currently play Fortnite. The result shows that the Player Unknown's Battleground sustains the advantage on battle elements but creative charging policy and the efficient survival elements are the reasons of choosing Fortnite between the two.

Approaches to find hidden values using various and enormous amount of data are on the rise. As big data processing becomes easier, companies directly collects data generated from users and analyzes as necessary to produce insights. User-based data are utilized to predict patterns of gameplay, in-game symptom, eventually enhancing gaming. Accordingly, in this study, we tried to analyze the gaming strategy and user activity patterns utilizing Battlegrounds in-game data to detect the in-game hack.

The purpose of this study is to classify the types of internet personal game broadcasting in China and to examine viewers' preferences type of it. By targeting top 100 creators of Player-Unknown's Battleground streaming as a personal game broadcaster with over 100,000 followers, the game types were classified based on the purpose and characteristic of game broadcasting such as game play, entertainment, and audience participation. As a result, the type of internet personal game broadcasting in China was classified into progamer type, cooperative playing type, storytelling type, and reciprocal entertainment type. The progamer type was 38% and it was the highest proportion of Player-Unknown's Battlegrounds streaming. Next came storytelling type, cooperative playing type and reciprocal entertainment type with 25%, 19% and 18% respectively. In sum, progamer type and storytelling type which shows relatively low real - time communication with audiences accounted for a high percentage of 63%. This implies that the characteristics of the broadcast media focused on 'showing' have influenced the production and planning of personal game broad casting. The interactive characteristics of the platform of personal game broad casting can be expected to gradually change the conventional customs of broadcasting media.

There have been many topics in gamer research on gamers' game addiction, education, and psychological interest. This paper investigates how to perceive the virtual environment of gamers based on James Gibson 's theories of cognitive science. Gibson's theory is not a stimulus input through individual sensory receptors, but rather a learning process such as establishing a cognitive relationship between perceptual systems, external invariant property separation, behavioral learning, invariant property separation of events, selectiveism development. Based on this analysis tool, I collected and verified gamers' perception of game environment of by FGI survey method. The results of the analysis showed that Gibson 's perceptual learning process was perceived as a virtual environment as in reality, and there was also perceptual difference found only in games. Patterned perception develops in the direction of classifying invariant properties appearing in the game based on the purpose of the game. In this study, it can be seen as a result of the research that FGI interview can be summarized as patterning (typification) perception process based on the goal consciousness of gamers. But,The results of the study suggest that the psychological analysis of the gamer can not be presented by the FGI results alone. In the future, we need a model study to confirm the causality and the verification through statistical analysis.
