Gr 5–8—This latest installment of titles in the series touches on many current topics in e-sports. Gaming and Professional Sports Teams includes a brief history of video games and their development into massive multiplayer platforms that allow athletes to compete with each other from across the globe rather than across a room. It also discusses the crossover between e-sports and physical sports, as more and more professional NBA and NHL teams have e-sports branches that compete in various tournaments. Cheating in E-Sports delves into ethical considerations and how many games choose to self-police cheaters rather than employ strict rules or guidelines. All the volumes take a unique angle that will give readers great background information for reports and papers. VERDICT E-sports are always on the rise, making this series a fine resource for researchers.
