Is it appropriate for e-sports to develop into a national sports activity?

It is certainly inappropriate for e-sports to develop into a national sports activity. E-sports is different from other ordinary sports. It has a desire to win the game, not to mention playing games in general. Few people can really do e-sports, and more people are just experiencing the thrill of the game. Let me talk about whether e-sports can become a national sport.

E-sports is not entertainment.

E-sports is a professional project, which is different from playing games, even from most popular games on the Internet. You can enjoy the game for free.

Professional e-sports athletes need long-term professional training. Like other sports training, they have very strict training standards and have made targeted training plans for professional athletes' strategies, physical fitness and reaction speed. Not ordinary people can withstand strict training and selection, and e-sports also need talent, which is difficult for most people to do.

The Harm of Game Addiction

If e-sports becomes a national sport, it may lead to more and more teenagers indulging in games under the pretext of playing e-sports. We know how terrible the game addiction is to a person's growth, such as forgetting to eat and sleep, declining physical function, neglecting study and so on. Video games are originally a pastime after work and study, while game addiction deviates from the original intention of the game.

The promotion effect on the body is weak.

The value of traditional competitive sports lies not only in entertainment, but also in the overall improvement of teenagers' bodies and the promotion of educational equity. The role of e-sports in physical improvement is relatively weak. Although e-sports can exercise and improve participants' thinking ability, reaction ability, physical and mental coordination ability and willpower, and cultivate teamwork spirit, long-term mental stress training and competition may bring harm to the body.

As a new type of sports, e-sports is obvious to all, but e-sports can only be a competition for a few people and a profession. We recognize esports, but we can only "wait and see" esports.
