Research Participants Wanted!

Hello r/DotA2!

I am a Master's student in International Events Management researching gamers' lived experiences in order to gain a better understanding of emotions and motivations as they pertain to Esports and gaming in general. I am posting here because I am a 3k (animal) Dota player as well as a huge fan of the Dota Esports scene, and it would be most relevant to me personally to speak to Dota 2 players and potentially to use Dota 2 as a sort of "case study" for future research.

The interview will be video/audio and last 45-60 minutes. It will be semi-structured: I will ask you several questions and you will be free to talk about your own experiences in your own words for as little or as much time as you like. This research will be conducted according to high ethical standards– anonymised data, secure storage, deleting data after my dissertation is published, etc. After opting in to the study, you may feel free to withdraw at any time, for any reason.

I am looking for 8-10 participants in total. If this sounds appealing to you, kindly contact me at [jc6204m@gre.ac.uk](mailto:jc6204m@gre.ac.uk) so that I can send you a Online Participant Information and Consent form and we can set a date and time for the interview. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
