О ЧЕМ КНИГА:
Наконец то вышла первая нормальная книга про одну из самых быстрорастущих и многообещающих индустрий. Автор - менеджер одной из международных киберспортивных организаций и поэтому знает всю экосистему бизнеса изнутри. В книге вообще нет воды. Простыми словами объясняется, как устроен рынок, сколько зарабатывают спортсмены и команды, как организованы турниры. Ну и конечно автор делает свои предсказания о том, какое прекрасное будущее ждет киберспорт.
ГЛАВНЫЕ ВЫВОДЫ:
- Индустрия набирает обороты. Туда уже начинают приходить большие спонсоры и профессиональные инвесторы.
- В киберспорте действуют те же самые правила, что и в других видах спорта. Одно дело часами играть дома в игрушки, а другое быть профессиональным киберспортсменом.
- Пока мы еще не видим больших денег в киберспорте. Рост финансовых вливаний в индустрию отличается в разы по в сравнению с классическими видами спорта, такими как футбол или баскетбол. Одна из причин в том, что большинство руководителей компаний, которые распоряжаются крупными бюджетами – это люди старшего поколения, которые скорее всего не играли много в компьютерные игры в молодости. Скоро им на смену придет новое поколение, которое уже не представляет свою жизнь без компьютерных игр.

Great esports short read for higher education.
I found this book when I was doing a research for my thesis. It contains a lot of explanatory answers how the esports industry works, what are these games, and how younger generations are interacting with them.

Informative book for someone who wants to understand the top level information in the world of esports
January 19, 2020
The best way to describe this book is that it is full of information but no insight.
The book has 4 main chapters but within each chapter are a seemingly random string of questions and answers that someone might type and read through a simple Google search.
Here is an example of how the book has information but no insight:
"there aren’t too many competitors in the Live Game Streaming industry. This may be because you need a lot of servers around the world to become a global player."
Information: not that many competitors
Insight: high server costs
Surely there are more reasons for low number of competitors than just high server costs (e.g., network effects) As you can see, the book falls to give a strong POV on WHY things are the way they are.
In summary, this book can serve as a useful starting point if you don't want to search Google yourself, but if you want something more, look elsewhere
