Create a great era of e-sports.

Chapter 718 The Identity of Athletes

"It was similar to now. It's scary to think about it."

Lin Cheng couldn't help but tremble twice when he spoke.

Looking back at that time, it was a similar scene to today. How was the crowding at that time different from today?

"Don't the large number of people reflect the popularity of e-sports?" Mo Yu said: "It can be said that there are similarities but similar approaches."

"Yes."

Zhang Zhenping sighed: "That's why the bureau is willing to strongly support the development of e-sports and create a national electronic sports conference!"

"Right."

Lin Cheng nodded.

Not long after the few people chatted, the game started.

The overwhelming cheers at the scene startled the two old men again.

The enthusiasm of the fans of the two teams is simply the most loyal and crazy believers. Every time the home team gains an advantage on the field, it can attract a roar of cheers from the fans.

A few hours later, at around 5 p.m., the game came to an end.

In the end, it ended with Emperor Star narrowly defeating IG 2-1.

After this fight, all the processes for the four of them today will be over.

From the racial hegemony in the morning to DOTA and GAG in the afternoon, Zhang Zhenping and Lin Cheng were simply stunned.

The game is like this. It is often difficult to experience the exciting and passionate pleasure without being there. After all, it is a bit inferior through the screen.

The entrance to the hotel where everyone from the Sports Bureau is staying.

"Today has been an eye-opener for us two old men." Zhang Zhenping said with emotion: "E-sports has long become an indispensable part of young people's daily lives. Today's day is very touching!"

"Yes!" Lin Cheng said: "It's hard to say what the future will be like. I think it will get better and better."

Mo Yu smiled and said: "With the advancement of technology, electronic games will definitely develop better and better. Unless one day there will be no more electronic games in the world, in which case there may be no e-sports."

"Games don't exist?"

Zhang Zhenping shook his head when he heard this and sighed: "How is it possible? At least for our generation, it is definitely impossible."

He cheered up: "Mr. Mo, Mr. Zhang, thank you for accompanying me today. After today's experience, I now have many ideas in my mind, but no matter what, I will definitely support the development of e-sports."

Lin Cheng followed: "Me too."

The two of them used to say that they would not support the development of e-sports. They both followed the opinions of their leaders. However, after watching a few games today, they completely changed their minds. They feel that e-sports has penetrated deeply into people's lives and is the future of the sports world. An emerging project that must be indispensable.

The development of electronic sports is also contributing to the development of domestic sports.

Mo Yu didn't expect such an unexpected surprise when he heard this. After thinking about it, he said, "Two directors, actually I have an idea and I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Oh? What do you think?"

Zhang Zhenping's heart moved and he immediately laughed.

He had already received Shang Cunyuan's advice before setting off, and knew that Mo Yu must have thought the time was right. Thinking about it carefully, even he felt that it was the right time.

I just happened to watch the game and have a deeper understanding of e-sports. Lin Cheng's attitude is also good. If he brought it up at this time, he was assisting. I believe that even Lin Cheng would not say anything, and maybe he would. Great support.

This will be a big help when it comes time to formally propose it.

Mo Yu pondered for a few seconds and then said: "Both of you, by now you should agree that e-sports can be considered a sports competition, right?"

"This is natural." Before Zhang Zhenping could speak, Lin Chengcheng answered without hesitation: "Although it is different from traditional sports, e-sports is undoubtedly sports."

Mo Yu asked again: "Should e-sports players also be considered athletes?"

"Of course!"

Lin Cheng spoke again, and then said a little impatiently: "Mr. Mo, don't beat around the bush, just say what you have to say."

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." Mo Yu said: "Since you two agree that e-sports is a sport and e-sports players are also athletes, I have a grudge. I hope you can help me when you return to the imperial capital. Putting it forward can be considered a great help to all professional e-sports players.”

Lin Cheng urged: "Tell me quickly, what is this unkind invitation?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Zhenping was too happy to say anything and just observed the situation from the side.

Mo Yu said: "Although the e-sports industry is developing quite well now, e-sports players have not received recognition of their status. Many e-sports players are already young and have stopped studying early to play games. Although They are also considered athletes, but they are not officially recognized.”

"Furthermore, in this national e-sports competition, the professional group clearly requires that players in relevant projects must have participated in relevant professional competitions. At the same time, there are special requirements for qualification review and past results."

"However, many e-sports players are not well-known in the domestic sports department. Strictly speaking, they are all black players in the sports industry. To some extent, they cannot even meet the requirements for participation in the professional group."

"So I hope the two directors can think of a solution in this regard so as not to chill the hearts of the majority of e-sports players."

"They need an identity, an identity as an athlete!"

Mo Yu said it in the most sincere tone, and his meaning was very clear.
Lin Cheng's expression changed when he heard this, and his tone became a little vague: "Mr. Mo, I understand what you mean, but this question is hard to explain."

Zhang Zhaoyang saw that the situation was not right, looked at Mo Yu, and after thinking about it, he said: "Director Lin, didn't you just say that e-sports players are also athletes? As a club owner, I can understand the majority of e-sports players. What a pain in the hands.”

"Athletes can also win glory for the country on the field, but they not only have to be abused by some stubborn people, but also suffer unfair treatment. They are also sports people, but they do not have an athlete certificate and are not recognized by the country. Without the qualifications of an athlete, anyone else would feel uncomfortable."

"Director Lin, can you bear it?"

Lin Cheng opened his mouth: "This"

Asking himself, he actually has no objection to e-sports players getting athlete certificates, but this matter is not that simple.

An athlete certificate is related to many things, and can even be associated with extra points in the college entrance examination, not to mention various other benefits.

After all, e-sports is a new thing, and it doesn’t have a very good image in public opinion. In the past, everyone was shouting about it, but it has only recently slowly changed and it has become slightly better.

Mo Yu wants e-sports players to obtain athlete certificates, which is simply a first-of-its-kind move. The stakes are too high, and he really doesn't dare.

At this time, Lin Chengdu regretted that he had spoken too quickly, but he had already said everything and had no choice but to look at Zhang Zhenping for help.

"This matter is of great concern, and I am not sure at the moment. Director Zhang, what do you say?" (End of Chapter)
