Although he is a senior player, he is stated in sports or holds reservations. Attitude, he told reporters that the rules of these games and the power of balance adjustment are in the hands of various game manufacturers. No e -sports game is completely balanced. The obvious difference is that in some shooting competitions, different camps have the differences between the advantages and disadvantages in different maps. "Mr. Ling believes that a small value change in the e -sports game may cause the whole game ecology For a century -old sports project, rarely this kind of change will affect the nature of the entire competition. From this perspective, the player is led by the manufacturer's nose. No matter how good your tactics, your technology is strong, the manufacturer can not reach the game to adjust the game.

People go to the e -sports hotel. Do you go more or more? At present, many manufacturers do n’t like to use the word game to switch to e -sports. From this, many negative information that should have belonged to the game category naturally passed on to e -sports. This is also electricity electricity. One of the willingness to be recognized by some netizens. "Chen Yanlin pointed out that the words of online games and video games are" abandoned "due to too much negative.
