Ever since the TmarTn/Syndicate gambling scandal rocked the gaming scene and caused a wave of investigations into all kinds of controversial stuff across all the esports scenes, I knew that I wanted to focus parts of my studies on these topics. Well, now I'm writing my thesis about it.
If you are familiar with these topics and want to help out, I'd be super happy if you could spend 10-15 minutes to answer my questions. The platform is very mobile friendly, all data is anonymous without direct identifiers, and topics you are not familiar/comfortable with can be omitted.
The fun part of this is that I will be asking major esports communities and compare the attitudes of each community. On Reddit, r/GlobalOffensive, r/Starcraft, r/GlobalOffensive, r/Overwatch have joined in already! After the thesis is done, significant results will be shared in all communities.
The official start will be this weekend. Until then I just need some ~20 brave souls to test my instrument.
I hope this is not inappropriate as I could not find specific rules that prohibit this. I do think that communities such as TL are the most important aspect of esports, capable of making a difference and that their input should be treasured and evaluated.
Thank you for your help! Just holler if you have questions.
//Edit: I've received enough entries from testers, thank you!! I will evaluate and change the instrument based on the test results and your comments. See you on the weekend when the real thing kicks off
