Beijing time September 1 morning news, if anyone doubts the future of electronic athletics, then hurriedly open the Sunday New York Times to see. On the front page of the prestigious newspaper, the July "Dota 2" international Tour exhibition was featured.

To explore how this competitive video game developed into a major sport, the New York Times wrote a series of articles. And this is the first article of the front page.

In fact, the New York Times is not the first big-name media to focus on electronic athletics. ESPN has also reported the event, and Amazon has just spent 970 million of dollars on the acquisition of video game streaming media services Twitch.

Of course, even with such a wide range of concerns, there is still much room for debate about whether or not an electronic sport is a sporting event. (PEI)
