By historicizing and institutionalizing eSports, the contributors analyze the rapid growth of eSports and its implications in culture and economy. Dal Yong Jin curates a discussion as to why eSports has become a global phenomenon. From games such as Spacewar to Starcraft to Overwatch, a key theme, distinguishing this collection from others, is a potential shift of eSports from online to mobile gaming.
