ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First of all, I would like to thank Jesus Christ the Almighty for the blessings,

strength, and guidance so that I can complete this undergraduate thesis.

My second gratitude is dedicated to my advisor, Lastiko Endi Rahmantyo

M.Hum who has given me a lot of suggestion and help me understand e-Sports from

an academic perspective. He has given me a lot of knowledge and without him

maybe I could have never done this undergraduate thesis.

Next, I would like thank both of my parents, for without them I would not be

able to stand at this certain point. I also want to express my apology if there is any

mistake, including prolonging my study in order to chase my dream to be a

photographer. Thank you for understanding. I would also want to say thanks to my

special friend, Shinta Nugraningtyas who has patiently accompanied me through

certain situations in my life, not only in my study but also in my job. I do not think

I would make it without you.

My final thanks are dedicated to the friends who always support me; Dian,

Alif, Regan, Ojan, Ragil, and Icha. I also express special gratitude for Noa, Jamal,

and Dhea who have become great partners for discussion about the issues and

assignments, and for all of my friends whom I cannot mention one by one.
