  When looking at the list of past IEM champions, it appears that participants mainly come from regions such as Europe, North America, and China. Given the tournament’s substantial prize pool, professional esports teams facing financial difficulties are likely to place great importance on the outcome of this competition. Furthermore, due to the relatively small number of game titles featured, the tournament holds significant prestige in only certain games, while recognition in other games remains limited. In particular, Counter-Strike enjoys a very high status, as multiple versions of the game have been included as official titles. In addition, several other games that were popular at the time—such as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Heroes of the Storm—were also selected as tournament titles.

Any new, interesting, or unusual items learned

While South Korea demonstrates notable strength in the field of esports, it becomes clear that this strength is limited to a very small number of game titles. In globally popular FPS game genres, South Korea appears to lag significantly behind. When examining the achievements of professional teams overseas, it is common to see a single organization fielding teams across multiple games, rather than focusing on just one. In contrast, the absence of well-established professional esports organizations in Korea has resulted in a limitation: even highly skilled players often find themselves restricted to competing in only a few specific games.

Identify at least one question, concern, or discussion 

Currently, thanks to a few prominent individuals, public awareness of esports in South Korea has improved significantly. Nevertheless, there does not appear to be a clear trend toward the formation of specialized esports organizations similar to those seen overseas. At most, Korean teams operate professional squads in one or two games. Why has the esports revenue model in South Korea developed in a different direction compared to other countries?
