Create a great era of e-sports.

Chapter 515 Executive Board Meeting

There was a lot of commotion in the lobby.

Those who came to the meeting were all important members of the Board of Directors.

The entire organizational structure of the Olympic Council of Asia is divided into three levels from top to bottom, namely the General Assembly of the Olympic Council of Asia, the Executive Board and the highest-ranking Chairman of the Council.

Among them, the General Assembly is held once a year, such as accepting applications from new member states, selecting host cities, etc., and is generally decided by voting here.

Next is the Executive Board, which is composed of senior members of the Council and is responsible for handling daily affairs within the meeting. It first makes resolutions on some major issues and then submits them to the General Assembly for discussion and approval.

However, these are all on the surface.

Since the Executive Board itself is the leader among the member states of the Council, and there is a subordinate in the Council, generally speaking, the resolutions passed by the Executive Board will be passed by the Congress, and there will be few mistakes.

This time it was the Executive Board meeting.

Chairman Khadgar patted the table, and after stabilizing the discipline of the venue, he looked at Song Qing.

"Mr. Song, the proposal was submitted by you. Please introduce the content of the proposal to everyone here."

"no problem."

Song Qing nodded slightly.

This time he was fully prepared.

Before going to the board of directors to attend this meeting, he also specifically communicated with Wang Jian about relevant information, and made a special trip to Mo Yu to get a lot of data, including the number of spectators of various events in previous years and the growth trend. The total number of users of the servers in each competition area, recharge data, etc., are all in order to convince the people of the Olympic Council of Asia to the greatest extent that they can apply to make GAG ​​an exhibition game.

There are many reasons why he is so enthusiastic.

To put it mildly, with GAG’s huge popularity, even if it only enters the Asian Games as an exhibition match, it can bring a lot of young people’s attention to this Asian Games. At the same time, because e-sports itself is a commercial sport, once it joins the Asian Games It can also promote the commercial operation of the Asian Games itself.

On a larger scale, the entry of e-sports into Asia can change the international community's overall conservative view of China, enhance the innovative significance of the Asian Games, and promote the development of science and technology and the popularization of Internet technology.

In short, there are many benefits.

What China is most worried about is actually the impact of public opinion, but sometimes the benefits are great enough and a little impact can be temporarily ignored. Moreover, if this kind of public opinion is placed on a global scale, it is not that serious.

Many places are not as resistant to games and e-sports as they are in China, even to the point of addiction.

To a certain extent, compared to the benefits, this kind of public opinion can be ignored or even actively guided to change.

As long as this point is resolved, both the qualifications and requirements for e-sports to enter Asia will be sufficient.

Coincidentally, the Olympic Council of Asia also has similar views.

In their view, although e-sports has developed rapidly and has gradually been recognized and valued by mainstream society, it is still not good enough after all.

"I believe everyone here has seen the pure data. There is no doubt that in comparison, the e-sports events represented by GAG surpass most of the events in the Asian Games in every aspect, and are enough to compete with those top project to match.”

Song and Qing Dynasty surrounded the audience.

In front of each participant, there are stacks of data files that have been prepared long ago. They contain not only complex internal data but also clear graphs and tables.

Anyone who takes a glance at it will be surprised by GAG's amazing performance in various data over the past few years.

It is almost a continuous upward line, and there is even a curve that is close to a right angle in the middle!

From a time point of view, a nearly right-angled increase often occurs when a competition can be called a super competition compared to the previous competition. Such as Jingzhou Cup, such as S1, such as MSI!

"I won't go into details about the data. The document is very clear. I believe everyone here can see it. I plan to explain from other aspects whether it is feasible for e-sports to enter Asia, whether it can be operated, and whether it is qualified."

Song Qing stretched out five fingers.

For a moment, the sound of flipping papers stopped, and everyone in the gathering looked at him.

Song Qing talked eloquently and said what he had prepared long ago.

“There is no doubt that e-sports is qualified to join the Asian Games. It conforms to the characteristics of traditional sports, is fair, competitive, spectator-friendly, uncertain and professional, and is officially recognized by a country as an emerging industry. Formal sporting events."

"Secondly, e-sports is very popular, especially the GAG ​​project, which has a very strong public base and huge market value. As of this year, the overall market size has approached tens of billions."

"Third, just like football and basketball have the Premier League and NBA, GAG also has its own league. This year it has improved the league system. Professional clubs also need to pay high transfer fees when recruiting high-level professional e-sports players. "

"Fourth, e-sports, like other sports, also requires long-term training under unified and clear rules, following the spirit of sportsmanship, winning through techniques and tactics, and conforming to the world's definition of sports."

"Fifth, the main purpose of the sports meeting is not to conquer, but to struggle and defeat oneself. Higher, faster and stronger have always been the purpose of any sports meeting. This is not only the tempering of the self, but also the sportsmanship of defeating the self. , obviously, e-sports also meets this requirement!”

"To sum up, I think it is fully qualified, reasonable and legal to allow e-sports to enter this Asian Games, and I hope the council can approve it."

After Song Qing finished speaking, he slowly sat down.

The whole audience fell into an anxious discussion.

Putting data is intuitive, but sometimes data is not everything.

The executive board is composed of middle-aged and elderly people in power, and their thinking is often not so easy to change.

Song Qing knew very well that in order to convince these people, unless the data has reached the sky, they have to change their gaze and admit that e-sports has grown to a point where they can no longer be ignored; otherwise, they have to understand it with reason and move it with emotion.

Let’s first make it clear from the rules, then make it clear from the concept of the Asian Games, and then clarify that e-sports itself is qualified. Finally, the data is the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

obviously.

Once again the noisy conference room engulfed in discussion proved that he had succeeded.

The next thing to do is to discuss, vote, and finally come up with the results.

"I hope I can convince others, as long as more than half is enough."

He has done everything he can, and success or failure can only be left to God's will.

However, he is not without allies in the Executive Directorate.

His eyes swept over him, and the exchange of glances was fleeting, with almost no pause. Outsiders could not see anything unusual.

Song Qing felt slightly relieved.

"As long as we can convince some neutrals, it will basically be a success!"

"Hopefully there will be good news!"
