《電競簡史:從遊戲到體育》
作者:戴焱淼
「電競在韓國已經成為一種像國際象棋的運動。」
暑假來了,「香港電競音樂節」也舉行了。不難發現,電競在今日社會佔的位置已漸見重要。
去年,電競正式得到國際奧林匹克委員會認可成為體育項目。隨即於2018印尼雅加達亞運,電競更是示範項目。從前很多人覺得玩物喪志的「打機」,現在終於登堂入室。然而相關的爭議仍未見止,直到目前仍有不少人反對它被視作「體育項目」——汗也沒流,這是哪門子的體育?
隨著騰訊崛起,「打機」成了一門賺大錢的產業,世人再嗤之以鼻,也不得不承認這是事實。
發展至今只有二十年的電競,現在就是處於這樣一個介乎嚴肅與遊樂之間的尷尬位置。論刊物,目前坊間除了雜誌之外,只有零星數本成功者傳記,或是剖析產業趨勢的書籍。稍具系統,宏觀地總覽整個項目前世今生的著作,僅屬鳳毛麟角。所以中國傳播學者戴焱淼的《電競簡史》,可說是彌補了這方面的空白。
《電競簡史》以四部分,從遠至近地縷述了近二十年來電子遊戲如何一步步從所謂的「打機」,逐漸演化成全球千億美元的產業。
作者乃學院出身,所以這部著作行文風格也較為學術。但這也非無好處,對電競無甚認識的人,也可從此書得到清晰概略的了解。我最欣賞最後一部分,作者剖析了電競目前面對的問題,也嘗試為它的未來作前瞻預測,對大眾來說頗具啟發性。
現在,看足球已成了不少人生活中的一部分,但原來曾幾何時並非如此。在書的開頭,作者說原來在十九世紀末,德國人曾對一海之隔的英式足球不以為然,更曾撰文大肆抨擊。其實今天電競引起的爭議,會不會也像那些年德國人看待足球那種處境及發展?
筆者簡介:蝦叔,愛寫作,愛運動。期待未來以一雙腳和一枝筆,繼續從體育探索世界。

A Brief History of E-sports: from games to sports
Author: Dai Yanmiao
“In Korea, e-sports has become a sport like international chess.”
Summer has come, and so has the Hong Kong E-sports and Music Festival. It is obvious that e-sports is gradually growing in popularity.
E-sports was officially recognized as a sports category by the International Olympic Committee last year. It then became a demonstration sport at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games. Once regarded as just a plaything, gaming now gets a position in sports. Nevertheless, many still refuse to recognize e-sports as 'sports'. How can you call it a sport if you don’t sweat while playing it, they ask.
With the rise of Tencent, gaming has become a profitable industry. Even those who dislike gaming have to recognize this.
After 20 years of development, e-sports is currently in an awkward position, somewhere between serious sport and leisure activity. Presently, besides magazines, there are only few books about the industry, with stories of successful players or analysing industry trends. Publications that provide a systematic overview of the history of e-sports are minimal. Therefore, the book titled A Brief History of E-sports by Chinese communications scholar Dai Yanmiao helps fill this gap.
A Brief History of E-sports comprises four parts. It tells from far to near how e-sports was gradually transformed from simple gaming into a billion US dollar global industry in the past two decades.
As the author is a scholar, the book has an academic tone. This can be an advantage, as it provides people with little or no knowledge of e-sports with a clear and brief understanding of the industry. I like the last part of the book the most because the author analyses the current issues in the e-sports field and prospects for its future, which is inspiring for the general public.
Today, soccer has become a part of our life, which was not the case in the past. At the beginning of the book, the author recalls that in the late 19th century, German people strongly opposed English football from across the ocean and articles were published criticizing it. Will the controversy on e-sports today become the same scenario and development as that on football in the past?
About the writer: Uncle Shrimp loves reading, writing and athletics, and hopes he can continue exploring the world through sports.
