Features: Marching into WCG. Electronic games, as a form of entertainment and competition, have only existed for a mere few decades. However, thanks to their unique charm, they have captivated millions of enthusiasts. In South Korea, electronic sports are now recognized alongside Go and football as one of the three major national sports. In fact, it has become a hugely influential industry and an undeniable cultural phenomenon in today's society. After nearly a decade of development and evolution, electronic games have moved beyond simple play and entertainment, rising to become a form of intellectual competition between humans and machines, as well as among people themselves. Just like traditional board games, which have a broad base of participants, electronic games have now demonstrated the qualities of a competitive activity. With the emergence of professional players, the terms "electronic sports" (E-sports) and "electronic athletics" (E-athletics) have begun to gain traction. In 2004, the China Electronic Sports Games officially kicked off. We finally had our own professional players, our own heroes. This day, we had waited far too long. We hope the games in this book will bring everyone joy.
