Abstract

Industrija videoigara jedna je od najbrže rastućih i najisplativijih industrija u modernom društvu, a važnost industrije raste iz dana u dan. Videoigre (tj. e-sportovi) počele su se pojavljivati u društvu nakon 2. svjetskog rata i od tada ne prestaju se razvijati. Rapidan razvoj videoigara i e-sport scene nije slučajnost, jer videoigre imaju izvanrednu mogućnost uzimanja pažnje igrača i gledatelja, čineći ga u vrlo kratkom roku velikim ljubiteljem i entuzijastom videoigre koju igra. Završni rad... More bavi se problematiziranjem teme e-sporta, njegovog statusa, legitimnosti i svrhe koju želi postići. Glavna tema završnog rada je nastanak i razvoj League of Legends e-sporta, te popularnost i gledanost e-sporta. E-sportovi bili su na lošem glasu do nedavno, postojale su razne stigme o kvaliteti e-sportova i njihovom utjecaju na gledatelje i igrače. Supkultura e-sportova bila je marginalizirana i nije joj bila pružena prilika do polovice prošlog desetljeća. Danas su e-sportovi popularizirani do te mjere da se pojavljuju u svakodnevnim medijima. Velik broj svjetske populacije, muške i ženske, bar se jednom okušao u nekom e-sportu. E-sportovi još se ne smatraju tradicionalnim sportovima, iako javno mnijenje, s pojavom mlađih generacija koje odrastaju uz e-sportove i kojima e-sportovi bivaju bitan dio njihovih života, ide prema tome da se počinju smatrati jednima.

Abstract (english)

The video game industry is one of the fastest growing and most profitable industries in the modern society, and the importance of the industry is growing day by day. Video games (e-sports) began to appear in society after World War II and have not ceased to develop since. The rapid development of video games and the e-sports scene is no coincidence, as video games have an extraordinary ability to capture the attention of players and viewers, turning them into big fans and enthusiasts of the... More video game they played in a short period of time. The final paper deals with the problematization of the topics of e-sports, its status, its legitimacy and the purpose it wants to achieve. The main topic of the paper is the emergence and development of the League of Legends e-sport, and the popularity and viewership of e-sports. E-sports have had a bad reputation until recently, there were various stigmas about the quality of e-sports and their impact on spectators and players. The e-sports subculture was marginalized and was not given a chance until the middle of the last decade. Today, e-sports are popularized to the point they appear in everyday media. A large portion of world’s population, both male and female, have tried e-sports at least once. E-sports are not yet considered traditional sports, although public opinion, with the emergence of younger generations growing up with e-sports and for whom e-sports are an essential part of their lives, is moving towards regarding it as one.
