zigzag Posted April 18, 2017 Report Posted April 18, 2017 I hate this news.... E-sports to become official medal sport at 2022 Asian Games Quote
Tatsh Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 That english pronunciation in the video gives me cancer. Quote
Ikarus360 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Posted April 26, 2017 That's the kind of thing I would expect from South Korea given how crazy they are for E-Sports, but China? So now, being a pro at World of Warcraft/League of Legends/Overwatch is all you need to get a sport medal. So the "doping" tests will be about seeing who used cheat codes and/or hacked? Quote
Ikarus360 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Posted August 8, 2018 A bit different from the typical chinese logos. A more modern and somewhat corporate-ish feel. Quote
