      ACKNOWLEDGMENT

      This book is a reflection of all those who participated, knowingly and unknowingly, in making a dream into a reality.

      Thanks to the Draft2Digital Foundation for the Great Contribution, Follow-Up, and Care to Bring The Exciting World of eSports book into existence.

      Thanks to all those Fans of eSports who have influenced my beliefs.

      Introduction

      Esports has become one of the most enjoyable and playful cultural segments in recent years. Dal Yong Jin- mentioned that the growth of esports can be witnessed in several areas in our contemporary society. While Tobias Scholz (2019) believes that the esports industry is still emerging, in terms of structures, new companies, and markets. Roland Li (2017) addressed esports as one of the fastest growing industries in the world and argues that a confluence of technology, culture, and determination has made this possible. Several Scholars and Researchers have focused on eSports from the perspective of  global citizenship and its implications for individuals, societies, and the world at large.

      In his book The Global Citizen, David Held argues that globalization has created a new set of challenges and opportunities that require a shift in mindset from national to global perspectives. He emphasizes the need for global citizens to engage with diverse cultures, value systems, and political ideologies to promote tolerance and understanding.

      And of course all these things can happen in esports competitions.Similarly,Martha Nussbaum's work on cosmopolitanism highlights the importance of cultivating moral virtues such as compassion, empathy, and justice in promoting global citizenship. She argues that a cosmopolitan outlook enables individuals to transcend parochial interests and biases and embrace universal principles of human dignity and equality. In addition to theoretical perspectives, empirical studies have also shed light on the practices and behaviors of global citizens in different contexts.

      For example, a study by Reysen and Katzarska-Miller (2013) examined the relationship between global citizenship identification and prosocial behavior. They found that individuals who identified strongly as global citizens were more likely to engage in altruistic actions and volunteer work to help others in need.

      Furthermore, research by Reysen and Katzarska-Miller (2018) explored the role of education in promoting global citizenship values among young people. They found that exposure to multicultural experiences, international travel, and cross-cultural learning opportunities in schools and universities can foster a sense of global identity and responsibility among students.

      Esports-related global citizenship is the idea of a shared identity based on a common interest in competitive gaming. Just as traditional sports have the power to bring people together across national and cultural boundaries, esports has the potential to create a sense of unity among individuals who may have little else in common. While in A study by Hamari, Sjöblom, and Ukkonen (2016) explored the concept of social capital in the context of esports, finding that online communities dedicated to gaming can serve as platforms for building relationships and fostering a sense of belonging among participants.

      The researchers argue that these virtual communities can facilitate the formation of social ties that transcend geographic and cultural differences, thereby promoting a sense of global citizenship among gamers.

      Another relevant study by Taylor (2018) examined the role of esports in promoting diversity and inclusivity within the gaming community. The author highlights how esports events and tournaments provide opportunities for players from diverse backgrounds to showcase their skills and compete on an equal playing field. This emphasis on diversity and inclusivity in esports can contribute to a broader sense of global citizenship by celebrating the unique talents and perspectives of individuals from around the world.

      In addition to fostering a sense of global community, esports-related global citizenship also entails a commitment to social responsibility and ethical behavior within the gaming community. A study by Johnson (2019) explores the ethical implications of professional gaming, emphasizing the importance of fair play, sportsmanship, and respect for one's opponents. By upholding these values, players and fans can contribute to a positive and inclusive gaming culture that promotes global citizenship and mutual understanding.

      Furthermore, research by Witkowski (2017) delves into the potential of esports as a tool for education and cultural exchange. The author argues that competitive gaming can serve as a platform for learning about different cultures, languages, and traditions, as players from diverse backgrounds come together to compete and collaborate in virtual environments. By engaging with esports as a form of cultural exchange, individuals can broaden their understanding of the world and develop a more global mindset.

      The current book will shed light on the Exciting World of eSports.from its historical Overview to eSports Infrastructure in  smart Cities and Career Pathways

      In this context, the importance of the book The Exciting World of eSports is highlighted, Which is distinguished from other books that discussed this topic, as the book discussed the history of eSports and focused on the development in the field of physics within electronic sports.

      The Evolution of Esports: A Historical Overview

      Video games have become an integral part of our modern society, providing entertainment and interactive experiences for people of all ages. But what many may not realize is the intricate role that physics plays in the development and design of these virtual worlds. From the realistic movements of characters to the accurate depiction of gravity and momentum, video game physics has come a long way since the early days of pixelated arcade games.

      One of the earliest recorded instances of organized video game competitions was the Space Invaders Championship held by Atari in 1980. This event attracted over 10,000 participants and marked the beginning of competitive gaming as we know it today. In his book Digital Play: The Interaction of Technology, Culture, and Marketing, Stephen Kline explores the emergence of esports as a cultural phenomenon. He argues that advancements in technology, particularly the rise of personal computers and the internet, played a crucial role in the growth of competitive gaming. Kline also discusses how gaming companies began to capitalize on the competitive nature of their products by hosting tournaments and events.

      Another key concept that has shaped the history of esports is the evolution of professional gaming teams.In their article Team Versus Individual Performance in Esports: A Qualitative Analysis, authors Christopher Schneider and Nick Bowman examine the dynamics of team-based competition in esports. They argue that the development of professional gaming teams has helped to legitimize esports as a competitive sport, similar to traditional athletics.

      One of the most influential figures in the history of esports is Dennis Thresh Fong, often referred to as the first professional gamer. Fong gained fame in the 1990s for his dominance in first-person shooter games like Quake. His success helped to popularize competitive gaming
