Abstract

Based on the long eSports history and the interaction of the stakeholders, it becomes evident that eSports follows certain principles, although they are unwritten, and reviewing the management decisions in the past reveals these principles. These principles are derived and institutionalized over time and show self-governance within eSports. The roots of eSports are influenced by concepts like ‘easy to learn, hard to master’, the shifting metagame, and the game design. The Wild West metaphor is an ongoing motif, but a more in-depth observation highlights its potential influence. The principle of born digital, born global, and born agile explains the uniqueness of eSports, being an industry that is by its nature part of a digitized, global, and agile world.
