Building a more sustainable, diverse, and inclusive esports ecosystem will require an evolution in the way players compete and spectate together. In this talk, Morgan Romine will discuss how sportsmanship philosophies and the tools of traditional sports coaching can be applied to esports to help mediate social problems like toxicity, exclusion, team failure, and player burn-out.
Takeaway
Morgan will outline several ways that developers, tournament organizers, team managers, and community leaders can coach good sportsmanship in their player communities.
Intended Audience
Game designers, tournament organizers, team managers, and community leaders.
