The purpose of this study is to analyse the attacking pattern of the key player through plenty of passes on field hockey between the winning games and losing ones through the preliminary game and the tournament. It has shown that the Korean women national team on field hockey is analysed all the passes through the sportscode for the 6 games of the World-League Final, and is investigated the centrality through the social network analysis using the R analytic software. The result is followed : First, It has shown three tendencies on the preliminary games that it has shown a lower Degree-Centrality, a same with Closeness, and a higher Betweenness than the tournament. Second, It has also described on winning games that it has explained a lower Degree-Centrality, a same with Closeness, and a higher Betweenness than losing games. On the conclusion, it has revealed that Korean women national team on field hockey showed a tendency that prefer to use a counter-attacking.

Soccer is one of the popular sports globally, and South Korea is no exception; the professional domestic soccer tournament has been held in South Korea since 1983. The national soccer team in South Korea has shown outstanding performances, hosting the 2002 World Cup and achieving a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games and second place at the 2019 U-20 World Cup. In addition, one of the South Korean soccer players, Heung-min Son, has played a remarkable role in the English Premier League. Like other global soccer clubs, South Korean domestic soccer clubs create and manage their own YouTube channel to interact with fans and keep them updated. In this study, we explore how and why Seoul E-Land Football Club (SEFC) utilizes its YouTube channel. SEFC is distinctive in that they are playing at the second division, their home ground is based in Seoul, and they are sponsored by a company run on Christian values. We analyze one of the soccer club's YouTube channels multi-dimensionally and discover the roles of YouTube.

In the digital world, the transactions of assets with intrinsic value can be applied to games, literature, art, and music by issuing NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) based on Blockchain; various NFT exchanges are emerging accordingly just like real world asset exchanges. However, there could be an issue of copyright infringement in those NFT transactions. Therefore, this paper has classified the types of copyright infringement that may occur in NFT exchanges and proposes the copyright infringement countermeasures according to them. For this purpose, 10 types of NFT exchange are examined. Eventually, it can be expected that the proposed countermeasures will contribute to the revitalization of the NFT market by providing solutions for those issues.

Online game is the most popular representative example of the fast growing virtual world. Also, influence of interaction between virtual and real world is getting greater, and much discussion about virtual world and economy. However, it is often overlooked that the types of virtual economy can be very diverse depending on conditions of social and legal environment and policies of companies. Therefore, the influence of interactions between virtual world and real world is not managed by government and companies properly enough. We propose that virtual world is a system which has six types of agents and five types of transactions. Then there are twenty-four combinations, and we illustrated four typical combinations among them to explain practical applications of our model. The purpose of our categorization is not only to help to understand characteristics but also to provide insights for management and improvement for virtual worlds.

This paper studied cooperation and reciprocity mechanism by analyzing game mechanics of MMORPG 'World of Warcraft: Classic'. MMORPG is the genre of game where social interaction vigorously occurs. This study figured out the structure of cooperation based on evolutionary psychology, anthropology and social psychology through participatory observation. Four cooperation and reciprocity mechanism were drawn through investigating game mechanics like instance dungeon, clear role setting, item, soulbind. In addition, this paper suggests providing ideas of making cooperation mechanism in the field of game design.

Most of the multiplayer games available online are based on a client-server architecture because this architecture gives better administration control to the game providers than peer-to-peer architecture. In this architecture, the server is responsible for all the communication between the connected clients. The weakness of this architecture is its bandwidth requirement and scalability. Peer-to-peer architectures have then been proposed to solve these issues. In this paper, we propose a hybrid client-server architecture in which the game state is partially shared by the mobile terminal to achieve consistency among different players. Like a peer-to-peer architecture, this architecture uses client-side capacities to reduce bandwidth requirements for the server and improves consistency in wireless networks. Client events have different timeliness and consistency requirements according to their nature in the game world. These requirements lead to tasks with different priorities on CPU processing. In the proposed architecture, either the server or the client applies consistency mechanism according to the priority level. Simulation experiments show that the bandwidth of the server in this architecture is smaller than that of the client-server architecture. As a result, the server in the proposed architecture can accommodate more clients with enhancing the scalability.

Since the study by Turkle(1995), the concept of identity play in MMORPGs has been employed primarily to explain the reflection of users' identity in the avatar creation process in online games. This study attempts to conceptualize the identity play of the design process in which the user uses the avatar customizing system to create an avatar in the virtual world. This research verified the model of identity play through players' avatars, a model of the components of identity play constructed. The aims of this study pursued through an analysis of correlations of users' attitudes toward avatars. This study performed structural equation modeling to verify hypotheses about the variables that affect online identity play.

This Study analyzes gameness in SNS. SNS is not only communication tool for real life but also game like media for the experimental fiction. As the media like games, SNS meets 6 classic game features. After the Tatradic analysis, Expressive and manipulation rules move SNS paidia direction, player's effort and negotiable outcome are obsolesced. Player's attachment is enhanced and in SNS, the tradition of MUD retrieves abstract ground with representative expression. As following result, SNS is able to extend its own area to the player's creative world for the possible. SNS is the media like games.

Ludo-narrative dissonance is a prevalent problem among open-world genre video games. However, Ghost of Tsushima (2020) alleviates this issue by designing its characters and narrative structure influenced by Akira Kurosawa's samurai films. The game's protagonist represents "Bushido," a samurai code, and the structure exudes similarity to Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey," which heavily influenced Kurosawa's films. The developers also designed the gameplay mechanics such as level-up system, map design, and side quests based on these narrative traits, ultimately making the goal of the narrative and the gameplay mechanics cohesive.
