Analysis of Foreign Approaches to Development of E-Games Economy and Esports: Experience of Industry Leaders
( Pp. 285-289)

The development of the economy of computer games and esports largely depends on the effectiveness of state management of this industry. The problem of cybersport regulation became the subject of scientific researches more than 20 years ago, however, still there is no unified approach to the understanding of cybersport. Domestic and foreign economists mostly limited themselves to the study of management impacts at the micro level, as well as the field of event marketing on the example of esports tournaments. There is an obvious need for further development of theoretical and methodological foundations aimed at the development of promising tools to support and stimulate sustainable growth of the economy of computer games and esports in Russia. The aim of the study is to analyze and summarize the best foreign practices of supporting and developing the economy of computer games and esports. This study uses a systematic approach. The authors have critically analyzed Russian and foreign sources and literature on the problem of regulation of computer games and esports. By the results of the analysis were summed up the best practices to promote the development of esports in South Korea, China, the USA and in some other countries. It is made the conclusion about the necessity of development of eco-system of esports in Russia, which will allow to diversify economy of esports and to accelerate its growth due to attraction of more international companies and e-sportsmen, making income for private and public sectors and holding more international sport events. Prospective directions and priority initiatives for the sustainable development of domestic esports are proposed.
