“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.”— Dal Yong Jin, Distinguished SFU Professor. Simon Fraser University, CanadaThis is an edited book that fills a gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive view of esports practice from the Asia and Pacific region. The volume looks at the development of esports through the interconnections between institutions, industries, players, and society, across the Asia-Pacific. Over the last two decades, the Asia-Pacific region has been central to the growth and developmentof esports. The value of this book lies in its ability to provide a view of esport from countries that are currently underrepresented in the literature such as Vietnam, Singapore, Philippines and Australia while still integrating chapters looking at more well-researched countries such as China, Korea, and Japan. Filippo Gilardi is an Associate Professor in Creative Industries and Transmedia and currently the Head of the School of International Communications and the Director of the Institute of Asia and Pacific Studies (IAPS) at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China.
