1. A processing device comprising:
a communication interface configured to be communicably connected to a first participant terminal device configured to execute a game application as a first participant, a second participant terminal device configured to execute the game application executed by the first participant terminal device as a second participant, and a spectator terminal device configured to execute the game application executed by the first participant terminal device and the second participant terminal device as a spectator via a network;
a memory configured to store:
computer readable instructions;
spectating information including operation log information regarding a series of operation inputs with respect to an object received during execution of the game application in the first participant terminal device, the object being configured to be operated via the series of operation inputs by the first participant, the operation loci information being configured to be used in the spectator terminal device to reproduce an event that has occurred due to the series of operation inputs by the first participant with respect to the object; and
match information including display position information regarding a display position of the object, the display position corresponding to an operation result state after the game application has been executed based on the series of operation inputs and the object has been operated via the series of operation inputs by the first participant; and
a processor configured to execute the computer readable instructions so as to:
receive the spectating information and the match information from the first participant terminal device via the communication interface during the execution of the game application in the first participant terminal device and store the spectating information and the match information in the memory;
transmit the spectating information to the spectator terminal device via the communication interface during execution of the game application in the spectator terminal device; and
transmit the match information to the second participant terminal device via the communication interface during execution of the game application in the second participant terminal device.
