Abstract
A multiple case study was implemented, implementing a qualitative open-ended interview that brought forward three different specialization area faculty groups that reflect diverse educational perspectives as revolving and evolving around the potential of eSports upon the contributing author's field of study as well as the field of higher education as an overarching umbrella understanding.
