Is e-sports just playing games?
The Baptist University announced today (27th) a survey on the development of e-sports in Hong Kong. Nearly half of the respondents believe that e-sports is equivalent to video games. Nearly three adults do not know that e-sports has been used as a demonstration project for the Asian Games. Not deep.
However, the survey found that about 70% of Hong Kong people support the development of e-sports in Hong Kong, and many people believe that the government should invest more resources. The team described it as good news.

Zhong Boguang, deputy dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences of HKBU, and his team interviewed about 1,500 citizens by telephone from April to December last year. Among them, 72% of the respondents expressed support for the development of e-sports in Hong Kong, and 69% believed that the government should allocate more public resources to this Zhong Boguang described the result as "good news."
However, the survey also showed that nearly 30% of the interviewed citizens did not know that e-sports was once a demonstration project of the Asian Games, and nearly two adults did not know that e-sports would become an official event of the Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, even 49%. Respondents do not think e-sports become an official event of the Asian Games.
Zhong pointed out that the results reflect that the public still lacks understanding of the nature of e-sports.

Many places have begun to try to train e-sports players from an early age in a similar way to training sports players.
The research team also used questionnaires to interview 2,100 middle school and university students to understand their participation.
The results show that only about 100 of them have participated in e-sports events, accounting for only about 5%.
Participants believe that sense of accomplishment, performance of themselves, lack of e-sports resources, and poor development of e-sports in Hong Kong are the main factors that affect whether they participate in e-sports.
Zhong Boguang suggested that the government should formulate e-sports development policies, put in longer-term fixed resources to provide a good environment for training talents, and encourage institutions to launch relevant academic courses.
