Autores: Gabriela Borges; Daiana Sigiliano; Susana Costa

Resumo curto: Our research interest in this chapter focuses on the field of media studies and its possible contribution to the understanding of esports as a hybrid phenomenon. Wohn and Freeman (2020) state that it is important to understand esports as a multidimensional media ecosystem that, from the perspective of media consumption, interrelates playing, watching, spending, and live streaming. Therefore, studying the game or live streaming independently does not allow us to acquire a comprehensive understanding of how people engage in all these activities on different platforms and media. However, as a field of studies in full development, research has been developed to understand the different dynamics and tensions that are in operation in the universe of electronic sports.
