Abstract

In recent years, the Chinese eSports field has emerged with a discourse assemblage of “eSports patriotism”. Situated in China’s specific context, different actors such as countries, industries, and individuals, through the specific form and practice of “triple articulation”, compete with each other, connect with each other, and translate each other, to form a complex, dynamic and even temporary consensus on eSports patriotism. The first articulation is on the level of state power, with the articulation, disarticulation and rearticulation of discourse; the second articulation is on the level of industry capital, with the number discourse and the alliance of interests; and the third articulation is on the level of individual dream, with the two-way articulation of the “championship dream” and the “Chinese dream”.
