“…The esports world provides a space where gamers can 'disembody' and so escape from the sociocultural constraints of the physical world, and as there are no interpersonal physical bonds in virtual interaction, gamers are not bounded by their physical referential or any behavioral rules based upon it. Game world anonymity conceals any and all physical identifiers from gender, to age, to race, to cultural background (Kukshinov, 2015). Disembodiment and anonymity create a safe place for gamers to explore and form new identities that need only comply with the rules set for globally standardized virtual characters (Ecenbarger, 2014;Wang, Yang & Shen, 2014).…”

How does cultural diversity influence the performance of semi-virtual teams? We use the prism of esports and insights from virtual identity research and social categorization theory to determine the effect on semi-virtual teams in which member interaction is not necessarily mediated or constrained by physical world sociocultural norms. The common ground that has developed in esports results in a superordinate, culture-free gamer identity that transcends the virtual and physical worlds, and thus multicultural teams can enjoy the benefits of diverse knowledge without suffering unduly from social disintegration when gamer identity is salient -a reality challenged less in the virtual world than in the physical one. We conduct an empirical study using data from 4035 League of Legends games played by 102 multicultural teams from 2017 to 2020. Our results show that cultural diversity improves the quality of team strategy when gamer identity becomes more salient, and that that may come about when players are intensely exposed to the game world, when they play with many different virtual characters, and when they play at home court.

“…The result is improved team performance. With disembodiment and anonymity, gamer identity is more likely to be salient in the virtual world (Kukshinov, 2015), although in the physical one there are still sociocultural challenges with which to contend, e.g., cultural identity and categorization by national origin (Eklund, 2015).…”
