Gaming levels up with historic Asiad inclusion

电子竞技首次成为亚运会正式项目

The official ratification of e-sports as a medal event for the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou on Wednesday has been hailed as a milestone in both gaming and sporting history.

周三，电子竞技正式被批准为2022年杭州亚运会的竞赛项目，这可谓是体育史上的一个里程碑。

The street-dance discipline of breaking will also debut on the Asiad's official event program after a proposal by Hangzhou's local organizing committee was approved by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) at its General Assembly, held in Muscat, Oman, and online on Wednesday.

周三，亚洲奥林匹克理事会在阿曼马斯喀特召开了一场线上全体大会，会议通过了杭州奥组委提出的一项提案，电子竞技和霹雳舞将作为亚运会正式项目首次亮相。

The additions bring Hangzhou 2022's total number of medal events to 61, across 40 sports. According to the organizing committee, e-sports joins the Asiad as a so-called "mind game" while breaking is classified as a "dance sport".

这将使2022年杭州亚运会的奖牌总数达到61个，涉及40个大项。据组委会介绍，电子竞技是作为“智力游戏”加入亚运会的，而霹雳舞则被列为“舞蹈运动”。

The committee also briefed the OCA on preparations for Hangzhou 2022, specifically regarding venue construction, marketing, the opening and closing ceremonies, and staging a technologically "smart" event.

组委会还向亚洲奥林匹克理事会介绍了杭州2022年亚运会的筹备工作，其中包括场馆建设、市场营销、开闭幕式、举办科技“智能”活动等。

E-sports joined the Asian Games for the first time as a demonstration sport at the 2018 edition in Jakarta, Indonesia. China won two gold medals and a silver in three of the six events: League of Legends, Clash Royale and Arena of Valor, an international version of China's homegrown hit Honor of Kings.

在印度尼西亚雅加达举行的2018年亚运会上，电子竞技首次作为表演项目加入亚运会。中国代表队在6个项目中获得了三枚奖牌（两金一银），获奖项目分别是英雄联盟、皇室战争和中国本土热门游戏王者荣耀国际版。

According to the 2019 Global E-sports Development Report, published by Tencent E-sports and Penguin Intelligence, the number of Chinese gamers and e-sports fans reached 350 million in 2019, with that number projected to reach 400 million by the end of 2020.

根据腾讯电竞、企鹅智讯联合发布的《2019年全球电竞发展报告》，2019年中国电竞玩家和电竞粉丝人数达到3.5亿，预计到2020年底将达到4亿。

The Chinese e-sports market was valued at 13.8 billion yuan ($2 billion) in 2019. In 2018, there were only about 71,000 people working in China's e-sports sector, but last year employers could not fill all of the 331,000 vacancies due to a talent vacuum.

2019年，中国电子竞技市场价值为138亿元（约合20亿美元）。2018年，中国电子竞技行业的从业人员仅为约7.1万人，但去年，人才的短缺就已无法填补总计33.1万的空缺职位了。

Moreover, the gaming industry has shown strong resilience in 2020, when most sports leagues and tournaments were postponed or canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. November's League of Legends World Championship in Shanghai, for example, was the first international sports event held in China after the country's containment of the coronavirus.

此外，电竞行业在2020年表现出了强大的韧性，受新冠肺炎疫情影响，大多数体育联赛和锦标赛都被推迟或取消。例如，11月在上海举行的《英雄联盟》全球总决赛是疫情得到控制后首次在中国举办的国际体育赛事。

According to the event organizer, the final of that championship boasted an average online audience of 23 million viewers per minute, and at one time peaked at over 45 million viewers. The final's combined viewing time online totaled 1 billion hours by early December.

据赛事组织者透露，总决赛的平均在线观众数为每分钟2300万，曾一度超过4500万。截至12月初，总决赛的在线观看总时长已达10亿小时。
