Gaming graduates to new level

Gaming may still be considered the enemy by many Chinese parents, but that doesn't mean university students - even those from the country's most prestigious institutes - are missing out on the e-sports boom.

On Sunday, the final of the 2018 University Cyber League's North Division wrapped up in Beijing, where eight universities, including top schools like Tsinghua University, Peking University and Renmin University of China, fought it out in five different battlefields such as soccer game FIFA online3, first-person shooter Cross Fire and multiplayer online battle arena hit League of Legends.

The East, West and Central South Division finals will kick off before the end of this month, with the winners qualifying for a national championship.
