in recent years, the e-sports industry has developed rapidly worldwide. After the Hangzhou Asian Games incorporated e-sports into the official competition, e-sports further entered the public view. However, even so, the discussion about whether e-sports is sports or not seems to be difficult to determine at present.

On 27th, 2022 global e-sports leaders summit ended in Hangzhou. With the theme of “bidding for Asia”, the conference aims to explore the new future and opportunities of e-sports as the development of emerging sports industry. What information does this high-profile e-sports event bring to us?

While e-sports was included in the official competition of the Asian Games, the International Olympic Committee also had many discussions and attempts on e-sports.

According to Zheng Zhuan, a visiting professor at the School of Animation and Digital Art of Communication University of China, Hangzhou Asian Games provides an opportunity for e-sports to explain itself to the society. “Any new thing needs to be explained to the society.

She said that although e-sports are not like traditional sports such as volleyball, which have high requirements for physical confrontation and physical fitness, but their hand-eye cooperation, the training of competition concentration is also very hard, and e-sports competition can also convey to young people the spirit of not afraid of hardship, not afraid of fatigue and persistence.

E-sports professionals are facing a gap

This is the first time that the two main data have declined synchronously since the statistics.

Zhang Yijun, the first vice chairman of China Association for intervals, suggested that in addition to adhering to content construction and ecological construction, we should also insist on talent construction to cope with the decline. “At present, there is still a big gap for e-sports professionals, and it is necessary to establish a multi-level talent training system to make up for it.”
