Abstract

Chapter 1 introduced eSports and many of the key stakeholder groups involved in the industry. This chapter builds on the introduction, expands the stakeholder groups, explores more deeply the major stakeholders in eSports, and delves into the relationships and interactions between and amongst these groups. In particular, Chapter 2 focuses on the most important stakeholder groups. The purpose of the chapter is threefold: (1) to learn more about the stakeholders and identify those most important to the field and its growth, (2) to assess the power dynamics amongst those stakeholders, and (3) to compare these stakeholders, relative to traditional professional sports.
