Abstract
The first study investigates the effect of losing a "critical" team member (CTM) on the performance of teams. A CTM is any individual whose presence or absence has a substantial impact on a team's performance. In this study, data from LoL gameplay from randomly sampled, ranked matches are used to examine team processes and performance outcomes when the CTM is present or absent. Statistical analysis is used to explore the effects on team performance. Initial results indicate that the presence or absence of a CTM has a significant impact on team processes and performance outcomes. This research illustrates the feasibility of exploring online gaming data for new insights into team performance, leading to a larger study on team effectiveness.
