“This book as one of the first academic discourses on the Asia-Pacific esports sphere advances a new horizon in esports and game studies. By dexterously engaging with three different perspectives, including macro, meso, and micro levels of discussions, this book provides fascinating discussions fully supported by a multitude of theoretical and methodological frameworks. The quality of analyses by both leading and emerging scholars posits this book as an essential read for scholars and students alike.”
