Abstract
The e-sports industry is attracting worldwide attention as a new industry. This global popularity is due in part to the emergence and role of star players, an important component of the e-sports industry. In particular, to become an e-sport player, they undergo rigorous training since childhood, and their career as an e-sports player is also shorter than that of other sports. In other words, they start at a young age and are retiring in their late 20s. Accordingly, our country is preparing a standard contract as one of the ways to guarantee the rights of e-sports players to prevent unfair situations that may arise during contracts between players and clubs. However, there are limitations in the content and use of the standard contract, raising questions about whether the legislative purpose is being achieved. Additionally, there are no regulations regarding support for retired players, so players who retire at an early age are having difficulty planning their future. Accordingly, in this article, measures to protect and strengthen the rights of e-sports players for the healthy and sustainable development of the e-sports industry include updating the standard contract, support for retired players, and forming a player council.
