Abstract

Esport se kao noviji koncept u posljednjem desetljeću razvija rapidnom brzinom te se kao pojam sve više spominje i popularizira. Od prvog događaja koji se uzima kao početak esporta može se pratiti razvoj tehnologije i usporedno popularnost iste do današnjice kada u svijetu imamo velike esport arene i događaje koje okupljaju sve veći broj sudionika i gledatelja. Naravno esport scena ne razvija se u svim zemljama istom brzinom što općenito ovisi o razvijenosti mrežne infrastrukture, interesu i informatičkoj pismenosti ljudi unutar određenog područja. Hrvatska tek u posljednjih nekoliko godina bilježi veći porast događaja vezanih uz esport što može biti indikator manjka interesa, informatizacije stanovništva ili još uvijek postojeće stereotipizacije gaming zajednica. Kroz ovaj rad pokušat će se, prateći analizu literature i informacije dobivene kroz intervju, dati okvirni prikaz stanja esport scene na području Republike Hrvatske te propitati je li moguće dati neka određena predviđanja o koncepciji, razvoju popularnosti i relevantnosti za ovakvu vrstu natjecanja na našem području. Točnije, predviđanja za aspekte financiranja i ulaganja u infrastrukturu organizacije natjecanja, razvoj esport karijera timova i pojedinaca, održivost cijelog sustava esporta te medijsko predstavljanje i pokrivanje.

Abstract (english)

Esport as a new concept has been rapidly evolving in the last decade and is being increasingly mentioned and popularized as a term. From the first event that is considered as the beginning of esports, the development of technology and its comparative popularity can be followed to the present day, when we have large esports arenas and events worldwide gathering an increasing number of participants and spectators. Of course, the esports scene does not develop in all countries at the same pace, which generally depends on the development of the network infrastructure, the interest and IT literacy of people within a certain area. Only in the last few years has Croatia recorded a greater increase in the number of events related to esports, which could be an indicator of a lack of interest, computerization of the population or the persistence of stereotypes about gaming communities. This paper will attempt to provide a general overview of the state of the sports scene in the Republic of Croatia by following the analysis of literature and information obtained through interviews. It will also question whether it is possible to make any specific predictions about the concept, development of popularity and relevance this type of competition in our region. More specifically, predictions for the aspects of financing and investment in the infrastructure of the organization of the competition, the development of esports careers of teams and individuals, the sustainability of the entire esports system and media coverage.
