Sociology of PC gamers and its overlap into the "offline" world based on the Blitzchung Controversy
 Sadovský, Samuel ; Tremčinský, Martin (advisor) ; Tesárek, Jan (referee)
In October 2019 the gaming world was "shaken" by the so called Blitzchung controversy, an incident during which a professional player of the videogame Hearthstone Ng Wai "Blitzchung" Chung was penalized after he supported the Hong Kong protestors during a live inteview of an official tournament. Chung was basically denied the basic human right of free speech. Considering the importance of this incident in the context of the gaming world, it is a unique case which showcases the potential existance of the causal relationship of games → real world. This study showcases relationships between the gaming world and other nongaming areas and subjects (education, government, politics and others) which are presented using selected studies and cases which are further expanded by the case study based on the Blitzchung controversy that chronologically describes observed phenomenons and characterizes participating actors. Structured interviews with selected respondents supplement the case study findings. This work mainly draws from theories that target gamers and the gaming world and tries to find answers to questions connected to the influence of the gaming world, it's potential as an environment suitable for political and other discussions and relevancy of gaming communities in the local and global discourse.
