Future of electronic-sports seem electric

The Olympic Council of Asia said last week that e-sports will be part of the competitive events at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province.

That news evoked immediate response from domestic e-sport players. Li Xiaofeng, who won the Warcraft III title at the 2005 and 2006 World Cyber Games and is now coaching new players, wrote in his micro blog: "The dream of a whole generation has finally come true." Many other players also welcomed the OCA decision.

The news, however, has intensified the worries of many parents. On the micro blog of Xinhua News Agency that released the news, a comment that won 108 "likes" reads: "Will that be a new excuse for children to play online games?"
