Head and Shoulder (e)Sports Event Organization Tools: A User-Based Study
摘要
Driving engagement among the numerous (e)sports broadcasts requires professionals to discover innovative methods to maintain audience interest. Creating a compelling narrative for (e)sports events is a highly effective strategy for achieving desired outcomes. In this paper, a suite of tools for (e)sports professionals is presented, aimed at facilitating transmedia storytelling before, during, and after the event based on cross-channel narratives. Through these tools, professionals can collaboratively create graphics and posts, generate transmedia storytelling narratives, display graphic overlays in live streams, and access enriching information to elevate their commentary. The tools have been evaluated and improved to meet professionals’ needs through two phases and have also been validated in realistic eSports game scenarios.
