Unlike traditional sports, e-sports referees require strong hardware and software knowledge—they need to understand coding and hardware repair. They must promptly intervene in the event of computer or network malfunctions to determine whether they are caused by human factors, as some professional players may intentionally disrupt the competition to gain an unfair advantage when cheating is not possible. - Finally, they must maintain on-site order, ensuring that high-level competitions do not face external disruptions and that players can focus on the game. Fans may engage in verbal harassment to support their favorite players, so referees must strictly enforce rules against smoking, player movement, and loud noises during matches.
