E-sports organizer mulls Olympic scale

The World Cyber Arena, or WCA, one of the premier organizers of global e-sports events, is gearing up to expand its overseas businesses in a bid to build an Olympic Games-equivalent for the global e-sports tournaments.

On Friday, in Yinchuan, capital of the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, the WCA signed agreements to implement mutual cooperation with e-sports alliances and associations of 20 countries and regions across the globe including Brazil, Russia and the Netherlands.

"Only by cohesion, especially by maintaining diversity, can we usher in a booming e-sports industry in the future," said Li Yanfei, vice-president of the World Cyber Arena.
