In China in the early years, these children who sat in front of the computer for more than 10 hours without moving for more than 10 hours were sent to the Internet addiction withdrawal center for electric shock treatment. Just like how China treated homosexuality in the early years, it is a kind of mental illness that can't stop playing games, and it needs to be cured. China accepts chess addicts and fans, but regards the obsession with e-sports as a morbid social phenomenon. They do not believe that people can grow from it and get their own position from it.
But it is also China. In just a few years, it has not only accepted e-sports as a legitimate form of sports competition, but also rapidly commercialized e-game competitions, established clubs, planned professional high-intensity training, attracted sponsors, and played games. . China accepts gamers as a legitimate and justifiable profession without any grudges, and all sectors of society have actually given varying degrees of support. China has become the dream country of the world's professional players. China has also created a team of kings, EHOME, that is daunting to the world.
Looking back at China's attitude towards e-sports a few years ago, I can only laugh.
China is such a country right now, there is no lower limit on morality, and there is no advantage in taking advantage of the bastard. As long as you can build momentum, as long as you can make money, it doesn't matter if you slap yourself in the mouth or something.
When children in other countries are still hesitant and guilty for choosing such a dark path as a professional player for themselves, Chinese professional players have long regarded you as a life-and-death struggle. Clubs and sponsors replace social and family pressures with professional pressures. Please use the most realistic standard in this world to prove your worth to me, sponsors say, bring the bloody murderousness in the game to reality, without thinking about anything, crush the opponent, win the game, and earn the bonus , this is your task. Gamers who live under this standard are real professional players.
Maybe there are a lot of things in real life that can't be balanced and perfected by winning games. But after all, great glory is to be exchanged for great sacrifice. If you really want to stand on the top at the most dazzling moment in your life and release your own light to make people look up, then the process of climbing to the top must be bloody. Even if you don't occupy the highest point, you can climb higher than others, and you can experience the process of climbing, which is a wealth that others don't have. So it doesn't matter what way you use to prove your youthful talent. Even China can become an e-sports paradise, proving that all roads lead to Rome. It is the truth to be brave to bear all the suffering that comes with it, and to be able to face it with the suffering on your back.
