New Delhi, India - ESports' debut as a medal event at the Asian Games starting this week will change attitudes
New Delhi, India – ESports’ debut as a medal event at the Asian Games starting this week will change attitudes and be a major step towards Olympic recognition at last, gamers and experts say.
Prajapati, a 3D designer, recalled how his father once tracked him down out playing video games at night, surrounded by half a dozen cheering children. Its inclusion at the Games is a milestone for eSports in its quest for recognition as a “real” sport, said Professor Kang of Shingu College, who was one of the first generation of Korean professional gamers under the alias “H.O.T Forever”.
“The dream will eventually be realised once it gets included into the Olympics as a fully fledged medal sport,” said Suji, also director of the Esports Federation of India.
