Creating An Esports Textbook.

Professor Gil Fried (University of New Haven) at IESF's 2018 Global Esports Executive Summit (GEES).

Esports needs a textbook, and now someone is doing something about it.

Professor Gil Fried (University of New Haven) is in the process of writing a new textbook on the esports industry. Prof. Fried hopes to publish the book with Human Kinetics in 2021. To do justice to such an extensive topic, Prof. Fried shall be editing the book along with several other professors who teach esports related classes. When the book is completed, International Esports Federation (IeSF) will review it, and possibly endorse it.

However, to ensure that the work is the best possible, professionals in the industry who might want to write about specific topics are invited to do so. It is anticipated these elements can be from around 4-10 pages on specific topics.

It could be a great way for someone to tell a story about their company/business and reach a large number of future students studying sport and esport management.

The topics that Prof. Fried are looking for people to cover include:

Who are the various stakeholders and what are their roles.

Title developers- such as Activision Blizzard, Riot Games, Nintendo, Sony, etc…
Players- professional and amateur
Governance- IeSF, college, high school, leagues
Teams and leagues- how are they formed, structured, and managed
Promoters/event managers
Marketers- selling games, selling athletes, selling events, branding, sponsorship
Broadcasters
Coaches
Team owners
Gamblers
Fans

How are games developed
Tools used in the industry- Gaming equipment, platforms, programs, streaming, VR/AR, AI, etc….
Content management
Delivery services
Information technology
How are games marketed
Financial issues in esports
Legal issues in esports
What is involved in putting on esports tournaments?
Fairness, ethics, and cheating in eSports
Esports and gambling
Careers in esport
Esports entrepreneurship
Where is the industry going?

If you are interested in getting involved with this project please do not hesitate to contact Professor Gil Fried who can be reached off line at gfried@newhaven.edu.

If we use same algorithm than the rust code but in c++: We have a different decompilation layout. Note that the Ghidra scans very fast the c++ binaries, and with rust binaries gets crazy for a while. Locating main is also very simple in a c++ compiled binary, indeed is more low-level than rust. The byte array is initialized with a simply move instruction: 00400c4b 48 b8 68 MOV RAX,0x6f77206f6c6c6568 And basic_string generates the string, in the case of rust this was carazy endless set of calls, detected by ghidra as a runtime, but nevertheless the basic_str...
