  • In this paper, based on the generalization and popularization of NFT, the utilization idea of using NFT in e-sports was proposed. We considered ways to utilize NFTs to make access to e-sports easy for all users and to secure users from various age groups. To this end, cases of NFTs with diversity in e-sports platforms were analyzed by type, and the degree of use of NFTs in e-sports was identified through a survey. As a result of the study, it was found that the NFT experience in the e-sports game was highly satisfactory and the desire to experience it again was strong. As NFTs have ownership and scarcity as important characteristics, they can respond well to the demand for owning unique items in e-sports. In addition, in marketing, by promoting limited edition products with scarcity, it is possible to promote marketing that creates value with high profitability. When using NFT in e-sports, various NFT functions are combined regardless of the type of sport, so NFT can become an economic infrastructure.

  • This paper explored the differences in university students' e-Sports patterns(e-Sports behaviors, its meaning and personalities) based on the types of game-lifestyle. The results of this study could be summarized as follows. First, game-lifestyle was categorized into 5 groups, that is, 'game with someone', 'game alone', 'addicted to game', 'novice for game' and 'flow in game'. Second, there were remarkable differences in e-Sports behaviors, its meaning and personalities(altruism, sociality and aggression) among these 5 groups. Specifically, The group of 'addicted to game' was similar to the group of 'flow in game' in the amount of time/money for game. Moreover they were highly likely to regard e-Sports game defeat as the reflection of their self-esteem and as the tool of gaining popularity/superiority to peers. Even though these similarities, the group of 'flow in game' was inclined not to permit deviant words/deeds and to keep the good manner in the cyber space as well as the real space, while the group of 'addicted to game' was permissible wrong and aggressive behaviors in the both cyber space and real space. Third, the group of 'novice for game' was less likely to participate in e-Sports activities(playing e-Sports game and watching TV) and to be less attracted to e-Sports than other groups. Moreover they had negative perspectives on e-Sports. In specific, they regarded it as a dangerous and addictive leisure activity hindering everyday life(study, relationship with peers/family etc) and health. These results would be used to develop game/e-Sports education program

  • With the introduction of e-Sports, games have emerged as a new public culture. Also, it has had positive effects on related industries including game, contents, broadcasting, IT and more. Studies on eSports consumer behavior are required for the continuous vitalization of the eSports industry. However, there are insufficient studies on the psychological aspect of eSports consumers. This study aims to find the motivations for watching the League of Legends(LoL), which has opened a new paradigm of eSports. We also find the relationship between such viewing motivation and satisfaction. This study is expected to be the base of future studies on eSports consumer motivation and establish effective marketing strategies in the industry.

  • e-Sports가 국내에서 활성화되기 위해서는 첫째, 온라인 게임에 대한 부정적 인식이 전환되어야 하고, 둘째, 모든 스포츠 종목이 대중화하기 위해 필수적인 미디어의 역할이 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 소셜 네트워크 시스템 기반의 e-Sports 플랫폼을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 e-Sports 선수를 적절히 매칭하여 전체 게임의 수익을 극대화하는 지능형 매칭 시스템과 1인 미디어 융합한다, 특히 한국 고유의 PC방 문화에 접목시키는 방안도 분석된다.

  • Recently, e-sports are growing with potentiality as a new industry with conspicuous profit model. But studies that dealing with e-sports are not enough. Hence, proposes of this paper are both to establish basic model that is for the design of e-sport marketing strategy and to contribute toward future studies which are related to e-sports. Recently, the researches to explain sports-sponsorship through the identification theory have been discovered. Many researches say that somewhat proper identification is a requirement for most sponsors to improve the their images which is essential to sponsorship activity. Consequently, the research for sponsorship associated with identification in the e-sports, not in the physical sports is the core sector of this study. We extracted the variables from online's major characteristics and existing sport sponsorship researches. First, because e-sports mean the tournaments or leagues in the use of online game, the main event of the game is likely to call it online game. Online media's attributes are distinguished from those of offline. Especially, interactivity, anonymity, and expandibility as a e-sport game attributes are able to be mentioned. So, these inherent online attributes are examined on the relationship with flow. Second, in physical sports games, Fisher(1998) revealed that team similarity and team attractivity were positively related to team identification. Wann(1996) said that the result of former game influenced the evaluation of the next game, then in turn has an effect on the identification of team supporters. Considering these results in the e-sports side, e-sports gamer' attractivity, similarity, and match result seem to be important precedent variables of the identification with a gamer. So, these e-sport gamer attributes are examined on the relationship with both flow and identification with a gamer. Csikszentmihalyi(1988) defined the term flow as feeling status for him to be making current positive experience optimally. Hoffman and Novak(1996) also said that if a user experienced the flow he would visit a website without any reward. Therefore flow might be positively associated with user's identification with a gamer. And, Swanson(2003) disclosed that team identification influenced the positive results of sponsorship, which included attitude toward sponsors, sponsor patronage, and satisfaction with sponsors. That is, identification with a gamer expect to be connected with corporation identification significantly. According to the above, we can design the following research model. All variables used in this study(interactivity, anonymity, expandibility, attractivity, similarity, match result, flow, identification with a gamer, and identification with a sponsor) definitely were defined operationally underlying precedent researches. Sample collection was carried out to the person who has an experience to have enjoyed e-sports during June 2006. Much portion of samples is men because much more men than women enjoy e-sports in general. Two-step approach was used to test the hypotheses. First, confirmatory factor analysis was committed to guarantee the validity and reliability of variables. The results showed that all variables had not only intensive and discriminant validity, but also reliability. Then, research model was examined with fully structural equation using LISREL 8.3 version. The fitness of the suggested model mostly was at the acceptable level. Shortly speaking about the results, first of all, in e-sports game attributes, only interactivity which is called a basic feature in online situation affected flow positively. Secondly, in e-sports gamer's attributes, similarity with a gamer and match result influenced flow positively, but there was no significant effect in the relationship between the attractivity of a gamer and flow. And as expected, similarity had an effect on identification with a gamer significantly. But unexpectedly attractivity and match result did not influence identification with a gamer significantly. Just the same as the fact verified in the many precedent researches, flow greatly influenced identification with a gamer, and identification with a gamer continually had an influence on the identification with a sponsor significantly. There are some implications in these results. If the sponsor of e-sports supports the pro-game player who absolutely should have the superior ability to others and is similar to the user enjoying e-sports, many amateur gamers will feel much of the flow and identification with a pro-gamer, and then after all, feel the identification with a sponsor. Such identification with a sponsor leads people enjoying e-sports to have purchasing intention for products produced by the sponsor and to make a positive word-of-mouth for those products or the sponsor. For the future studies, we recommend a few ideas. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to find new variables relating to the e-sports, which is not mentioned in this study. For this work to be possible, qualitative research seems to be needed to consider the inherent e-sport attributes. Finally, to generalize the results related to e-sports, a wide range of generations not a specific generation should be researched.

  • 한 미디어를 다른 미디어에서 표상하는 것을 재매개 remediation (이재현, 2006)라고 한다. 보통 재매개는 원 소스 멀티 유즈 혹은 재목적화 repurposing로 알려져 있다. 한 미디어가 다른 미디어를 통해 표상된다는 사실은 한가지 컨텐츠를 다양한 창구 혹은 채널을 통해 내보냄으로써 해당 컨텐츠의 가치를 극대화한다는 경영학적 의미뿐만 아니라, 미학적 사회학적 의미를 가진다. 특정한 미디어를 통해 보여지는 컨텐츠가 이질적인 다른 미디어를 통해 표상되면, 컨텐츠 뿐만 아니라 표상되는 미디어도 쉽게 인식하게 되면서 미학적 의미를 갖는다. 가령 액자 속에 들어있는 풍경화를 보는 순간, 액자라는 창을 넘어서 그림이 표상하는 풍경을 보려고 하지만, 액자 속의 퐁경화를 텔레비전을 통해 보게 되면, 시청자는 그림을 둘러싼 액자 혹은 그 그림이 위치한 미술관을 인식하기 마련이다. 또한 새롭게 등장하는 미디어와 그 종사자는 기존 미디어 혹은 종사자들의 사회적 지위를 표상하면서 기존 미디어의 지위를 이어받으려고 하면서 사회적 의미를 갖는다. 컴퓨터 게임이라는 미디어가 텔레비전을 통해 방송되는 e-sports는 디지털 컨텐츠의 전형적 재매개의 예가 될 수 있다. e-sports중계는 컴퓨터 게임 화면만을 보여주지 않는다. 게이머의 표정, 게임의 제반 정보를 나타내는 게임 화면의 세부 창들, 관중들의 반응, 해설자의 해설, 리플레이 화면 등을 동시 혹은 선형적으로 보여줌으로써, 시청자로 하여금 끊임없이 컴퓨터 게임이라는 미디어를 인식하게 한다. 또한 e-sports는 이름에서도 드러나듯이, sports의 사회적 지위를 표상한다. e-sports 플레이어들이 선수로 불리고, 이들이 프로 게임단을 조직해 활동한다. e-sports(스타크래프트의 경우)는 상설 경기장에서, 종종 체육관에서 대규모 관중들 앞에서 보여짐으로써 기존 sports 경기를 표상한다. 재매개는 새로운 미디어가 등장하면서 자연스럽게 취하는 전략이다. 새로운 미디어가 쏟아지는 디지털 미디어 시대, e-sports의 재매개 전략을 살펴봄으로써 새로운 미디어가 미학적, 사회적으로 자리잡을 수 있는 함의를 얻을 수 있다.

  • The purpose of this study is to revitalize rehabilitation treatment for people with physical disabilities by presenting a convergence plan between e-sports and rehabilitation exercises using AI-based metaverse. Metaverse-based e-sportscan be useful in providing sports experiences to people with physical disabilities who are unable to participate in society, and this also allows individuals with disabilities to experience sports that are difficult to actually experience. The use of metaverse will enable effective rehabilitation exercise links in vulnerable communities such as hospitals and farming and fishing villages, and provide integrated services of medical and rehabilitation movements that allow exercise data to be managed in an integrated manner. To this end, interdisciplinary experts should participate in the convergence development of e-sports and rehabilitation exercise.
