Abstract
There is a noticeably large interest growing across the globe for Esports expansion. Esports has grown to become an affinity space for competitive ambition/growth and a discipline of enormously varied learning techniques. Techniques to build esports into education often follow a 3 credit format, where esports can be studied in various areas (e.g., business, psychology, media/production). However, there’s been an absence in courses that are focused solely in gameplay. Traditionally, gaming has been observed to be a distraction over opportunity for growth. The course is currently centered to target said assumptions by utilizing student discipline techniques. Assignments are centered around goal setting, while categorized through three major topics; “attitude/health”, “communication”, and “positioning/game mechanics”. Results from the study demonstrate that students favored the work aspect of the course. Future studies could navigate a deeper study into the community aspect, as students profited greatly from connecting relationships.
