‘NBA-like’ e-sports
Print Edition
CHINA will have its own “NBA-like” e-sport matches within 5 to 10 years as the game market is set to continue to boom, game industry officials said yesterday.
Xiao Hong, CEO of Shenzhen-listed game firm Perfect World, said China will develop e-sport matches along the lines of NBA in the US amid a booming market with a big pool of players.
In 2017, the worldwide e-sport market revenue was US$1.5 billion and the figure is set to rise to US$2.3 billion in 2020, according to researcher SuperData.
Perfect World has set up a special team for e-sport to take care of management, intellectual property development and professional training, Xiao said during the DAC (DOTA 2 Asia Championship) held in Shanghai.
Perfect World, distributor of DOTA 2 in China, is the major organizer of DAC in Shanghai.
