The surrogate game surveys was conducted for 40 amateur users and 17 professional users in e-sports leagues. The survey was conducted in-depth interviews with a professional user to learn more about the actual situation of the win trading gameplay. As a result of the study, professional users had a high rate of experience with Gahz'rilla, and they would be able to increase their game rankings through Gahz'rilla. But they did not think Gahz'rilla is a surrogate game. Amateur users had a low rate of experience with Gahz'rilla and did not think they would be able to increase their game rankings through Gahz'rilla relative to professional users. Amature users tend to think of Gahz'rilla as a surrogate game. Both the users agree on the necessity of regulation on Gahz'rilla and surrogate game. Therefore, it is necessary to narrow the gap between the professional users and the amateur users by establishing rules for Gahz'rilla and surrogate game.
