This study investigates the role of cultural and economic factors in the development and perception of eSports, particularly examining how these elements influence its recognition as a legitimate sport and the redefinition of athleticism. A quantitative methodology was employed, involving a survey of 20 members from a gaming club in an educational institution. The survey revealed gender-based differences in the perception of eSports, notably in the economic impact, with female participants attributing greater significance to this aspect than their male counterparts. However, there was consensus across genders regarding eSports cultural significance and legitimacy as a sport. The findings indicate a predominant influence of cultural factors in shaping the perception of eSports, overshadowing economic aspects, a contrast to traditional sports where economic considerations often play a pivotal role. The study contributes to understanding the intricate dynamics within the eSports domain, providing insights for stakeholders in shaping policies and marketing strategies.

“…Illustrating the growing popularity of these events, Pu et al (2022) mention that the 2018 League of Legends World Championship, which took place at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul, was sold out with 40 000 attendees at the tournament. eSports events, like any other events, have a definite economic impact on other industries such as wholesale, retail trade and food and beverage services at tourism destinations (Hlee & Lee 2023;Thompson, Taheri & Scheuring 2022). Mahlangu and Naudé-Potgieter (2022) identified some vital features that are required to make an eSports event successful, such as mega venues, which are equipped with fast internet speed, set up with complete computer stations of the best designs, big TV screens for the spectators' pleasure, streaming services, and food and beverage services.…”

eSports events in the form of tournaments are a relatively new occurrence in South Africa. Therefore, it is vital to understand this form of entertainment, the events hosted, and the perspectives of participants and spectators. A pilot qualitative study was undertaken at a local school that hosted an interschool eSports tournament event. The study focused on the parents of minor eSports participants to gauge their perspective of the eSports events hosted, the advantages and disadvantages of participating in these events, and their actual experience of the hosted event. Out of a population of 20 parents who attended the event, six parents consented to be interviewed. Findings have been made on topics such as the addiction of minors to eSports gaming, why minors participate in eSports, the advantages and disadvantages of eSports gaming, and what parents want from eSports events. The findings of this study will direct eSports stakeholders on how to improve on offered eSports events, and inform them of the views of stakeholders. The tourism industry should take note of this newly emerging type of event, which could be a catalyst for South African events as the hub for Africa eSports events.
