Esports will be a medal sport in the 2022 Asian Games.
Alisports, the sports arm of e-commerce giant Alibaba, has partnered with the Olympic Council of Asia to bring esports to the Asian Games when it comes to Hangzhou, China in 2022.
Could it be that in the future, esports will be an Olympic sport? Esports is popular in Asia and for now has also been added as a demonstration sport to the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia as well as the OCA’s Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games (AIMAG) in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan in September.
