“…As such, task performance could be considered an umbrella term for an individual's capacity to perform skills that collectively contribute to a performance outcome (see Figure 2). To date, a substantial proportion of literature appears to fall into this category (Bickmann et al, 2021;Dykstria et al, 2021;Pluss et al, 2020).…”

The assessment of an athlete’s performance can play a key role in determining their current state, their readiness to compete, the impact of an experimental manipulation, and/or the influence of an intervention. At present, there is limited empirical evidence stating the indicators that encapsulate individual performance within any esport. To identify the variables that are historically associated with indicating Counter-Strike: Global Offensive performance, a literature review was conducted. Identified variables were accumulated and presented to three technical expert panels composed of world-class esport athletes, researchers, and practitioners. We utilized a modified Delphi method to provide direction concerning the examination of performance in esports. The expert panelists presented numerous opinions on what encapsulates performance, considerations for best practices, and concerns associated with the semantics of performance. This study presents the opinions of various domain-specific experts and encourages the use of more explicit terminology when discussing performance measurement. It was the intention of the project to generate an open discussion rather than draw a unified conclusion on best practices.

“…Similarly, three studies (Bickman et al, 2020, 2021; Wechsler et al, 2021) found that pro-gamers perform better than non-professionals due to better hand-eye coordination, mental strength, response time, game knowledge, and tactical comprehension. However, Sousa et al (2020) observed that pro-gamers’ faster response times are marred by less accuracy and impulsiveness.…”

Professional gaming is organized competitive digital gameplay supported by advertisers and businesses. With its rising popularity and spectatorship, virtual gaming as a profession is now a reality. The aim of this paper is to evaluate peer-reviewed articles from the past two decades that empirically examine gaming as a profession or the myriad facets of being a professional gamer published in scholarly journals. The themes that emerge from the results of the included studies ( n = 32) are (a) the socio-cultural appeal of gaming as a profession, (b) socio-psychological elements of pro-gamers’ everyday lives, and (c) the health and physiology of pro-gamers. It is found that the literature on health and physiology ( n = 14) overshadows other dimensions of pro-gaming in academic research. In conclusion, studies must reflect on gamers’ legal status as working professionals, their organizational contracts, and the legality of the industry country by country to fill the research gap.

“…Design principles to look for could include: multiplayer being standardised in a way that is fair and repeatable; winning being determined more by skill than by chance; the ceiling for mastery being high; and there should be performative qualities that lead to an "aesthetic model of dramatic dynamics" [144, p.16]. Many esports also demand paired cognitive and fine motor physicality [15,56,60]: focus, accuracy, reflexes, dexterity, and fine musculature endurance. More design principles likely exist, which preclude many games from evolving into esports.…”

Esports has generated an industry of increasing economic and cultural importance. In recent years, universities and other higher education institutions have responded to its growth by establishing programmes of study which aim to satisfy the needs of innovators operating in the area. However, there is not yet consensus on what an esports curriculum should include. Despite being a technology-driven sector with ethical and professional dimensions that intersect computing, current ACM and IEEE curricula do not mention esports. Furthermore, existing courses tend to provide teaching and training on a wide variety of topics aside from those traditionally in computer science. These include: live events management; psychological research; sports science; marketing; public relations; video (livestream) production; and community management; in addition to coaching and communication. This working group examined the requirements for developing esports studies at universities with a focus on understanding career prospects in esports and on the challenges presented by its interdisciplinary complexity. Thereby, paving the way for a framework to support the design of esports curricula in higher education.
