165438+1In the early morning of October 7th, the EDG team from Chinese mainland Division defeated the DK team from Korea Division 3-2 in Iceland and won the League of Legends Global Finals.

Although I don't play games and don't understand the joy of e-sports, these two days have really been screened by EDG! !

On Saturday night, there are three kinds of friends circle:

One is to cheer EDG to win the championship;

One is to ask what is called EDG；;

There is also a silence.

Even CCTV is congratulating EDG on winning the championship.

Can you imagine?

Just at the weekend finals, more than 200 million people around the world watched online at the same time.

In recent years, the word e-sports has become more and more popular. Playing games is no longer the same as playing things.

As early as June 5438+065438+1October 18, 2003, the State General Administration of Sports had officially approved e-sports as a formal sports competition.

20 18 Asian Games in Jakarta listed e-sports as a performance event.

The Organizing Committee of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games said that the Asian Games will offer "e-sports" projects.

According to the data of the Game Working Committee, by 2020, the domestic e-sports industry market will reach 65.438+03.657 billion yuan, up 44.2% year-on-year, and the number of e-sports users will reach 490 million, up 654.38+065.438+0.4% year-on-year. It is an important emerging industry.
