Resumo: Among the modalities of digital games, the so-called multiplayer online games have grown, games in which several players interact with each other while being geographically distant. This paper is an excerpt from an ethnographic research that used one of these games, World of Warcraft, as a field of study. Based on approximations and analogies with sports practices, it was sought to discuss collective activities carried out in the virtual universe of the game. Issues related to symbolic violence, rationalization and quantification of performance were highlighted.
