Ying Shuling: The legendary road from e-sports player to Asian Games team leader

Part 1: Ying Shuling's personal story

Ying Shuling, this name is widely known both inside and outside the esports circle. His story is not just a history of growth as an esports player, but also a legend of dreams, perseverance, and success.

Ying Shuling was born into an ordinary family and had a passion for video games since he was a child. As a child, he used to sit in front of his computer at home for hours, immersed in the adventures of the virtual world. Although the parents were concerned about his playtime, they also saw the talent and concentration that their son showed in the game.

In high school, Ying Shuling began to participate in some local e-sports competitions and gradually rose to prominence. His speed of reflexes, strategic thinking, and teamwork skills make him stand out in the competition. With one victory after another, his name began to spread in the esports community.

However, what really changed the trajectory of his life was a national esports tournament. In that competition, Ying Shuling led his team all the way through the competition and finally won the championship. This not only allowed him to earn a huge prize money, but also made him famous in the world of esports. After that, he was invited to join the top esports clubs in China and began his career as a professional esports player.

In his career, Ying Shuling has not only achieved excellent results in many international competitions, but also continued to learn and improve himself. He knows that e-sports is not only a competition of skills, but also a test of psychological quality and teamwork. In order to stay in top shape, he trains rigorously every day and works with his teammates to study tactics and analyse opponents.

Over time, Ying Shuling gradually transformed from a top player to a leader in the esports industry. He founded his own esports company dedicated to the development and popularity of the esports industry. He has not only cultivated many excellent e-sports players, but also actively participated in the organization and promotion of e-sports events.

Now, Ying Shuling has been appointed as the leader of the Esports Working Group for the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games, which is the greatest recognition of his years of hard work and dedication. He said that he will go all out to ensure the smooth progress of the Asian Games e-sports project, and hopes that through his own efforts, more people will understand and recognize e-sports.

The story of Ying Shuling tells us that as long as you have a dream and work hard for it, you will definitely be able to create your own legend. His experience has not only inspired countless young people, but also injected new vitality into the development of the esports industry.

Part 2: The integration of esports and traditional sports

As soon as the news of e-sports as an official event of the Asian Games was announced, it attracted widespread attention and discussion. For many, this is not only a recognition of esports, but also an important milestone in the integration of esports with traditional sports.

Historically, traditional sports such as track and field, swimming, basketball, etc., have always been the core events of the Asian Games. These events not only test the physical fitness and skills of athletes, but also carry national honor and sportsmanship. E-sports, as an emerging form of competition, was not initially accepted by mainstream society. Many people believe that esports is nothing more than "playing games" and cannot be compared to traditional sports.

However, over time, esports has gradually shown its unique charm and value. Esports players are on par with their reaction speed, strategic thinking, and teamwork skills in the game. What's more, esports is not only a competitive event, but also a cultural phenomenon that attracts the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world.

At the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, esports made its debut as a performance sport and was a huge success. This not only made more people understand and recognize e-sports, but also laid the foundation for e-sports to officially enter the Asian Games. At the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games, esports will be an official sport, further cementing its position in the sports world.

The integration of e-sports and traditional sports is not only reflected in the setting of events, but also in the training and management of athletes. Many esports clubs have begun to borrow from traditional sports training methods to provide players with scientific training plans and psychological counseling. At the same time, the organization and operation of e-sports events are becoming more and more professional, and they are gradually on par with traditional sports events.

This convergence will not only help to raise the level of competition in esports, but also help change the way society perceives esports. More and more parents and educational institutions are beginning to recognize that esports is not only a form of entertainment, but also a competitive activity that fosters teamwork, strategic thinking, and resilience.

As the leader of the Esports Working Group for the Nagoya 2026 Asian Games, Ying Shuling understands the importance of integrating esports with traditional sports. He said that through the platform of the Asian Games, the charm and value of e-sports will be shown to the world, so that more people can understand and recognize e-sports.

The integration of e-sports and traditional sports is an inevitable trend of the times. It not only provides a broader stage for e-sports players, but also injects new vitality into traditional sports. In the future, e-sports and traditional sports will go hand in hand to write a new chapter in the development of sports.

Part 3: The development of the esports industry

The esports industry has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, especially in the Asian region. The booming esports market in places like China, Japan, and Hong Kong has attracted a lot of investment and attention.

In China, esports has become a huge industry. According to the data, the size of China's esports market has exceeded 100 billion yuan in 2023. More and more young people see esports as a career choice, and many colleges and universities also offer professional courses related to esports to train professionals for the esports industry. Ying Shuling's company is one of the best in this, not only cultivating many outstanding e-sports players, but also actively promoting the development of e-sports education.

Japan's esports market is also rapidly rising. Although it started late, Japan quickly gained a foothold in the esports field thanks to its strong game development strength and rich cultural resources. Many well-known game companies, such as Nintendo and Sony, are actively expanding the esports market. Japan's esports players have also repeatedly achieved good results in international tournaments, attracting a large number of fans and attention.

As Asia's financial centre, Hong Kong also plays an important role in the esports industry. Although Hong Kong's e-sports market is relatively small, its international environment and open market policy have made Hong Kong a host of many international e-sports events. As the representative of Hong Kong's e-sports, Carlos Tang Jiahe actively promotes the development of Hong Kong's e-sports industry and brings glory to Hong Kong on the international stage.

E-sports has become an event of the Asian Games, which is undoubtedly a huge boost to the e-sports industry. First of all, it means that esports has been recognized by the mainstream sports community, elevating the social status of esports. Secondly, the huge influence of the Asian Games will attract more viewers and sponsors, further promoting the development of the esports market. Finally, the standards and norms of the Asian Games will promote the professionalization and standardization of e-sports events, and improve the competitive level and spectacle of e-sports.

As the leader of the Esports Working Group for the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games, Ying Shuling is well aware of the development potential and challenges of the esports industry. He said that the Asian Games will be used as a platform to showcase the charm and value of e-sports and promote the further development of the e-sports industry.

The development of the e-sports industry not only provides new career options for young people, but also brings new economic growth points to society. In the future, with the advancement of technology and the improvement of social acceptance, the e-sports industry will usher in more brilliant development prospects. I hope that more people can understand and support e-sports, and witness the growth and glory of this emerging industry together.

Part 4: Social Acceptance of Esports

E-sports has gone through a long and tortuous process from the original "niche entertainment" to today's "mainstream competition". Society's attitudes towards esports are also changing, from skepticism to recognition to widespread acceptance today.

In the early days, many people had a misconception about esports, believing that it was just "playing games" and had a negative impact on the learning and life of teenagers. Parents are worried about their children's addiction to gaming, and schools have reservations about esports. However, with the development of the esports industry and the success of esports players, society's perception of esports has gradually changed.

A prime example is Li Ming (pseudonym), who has been passionate about esports since he was a child, but his parents have always opposed him playing games. Li Ming excelled in school, but his biggest dream was to become a professional esports player. In order to pursue his dream, he resolutely chose to major in e-sports after the college entrance examination. At first, the parents were very opposed, but after seeing Li Ming's achievements in esports, they gradually changed their opinions. Today, Li Ming has not only become a professional esports player, but also won glory for the country in international competitions, and his parents are proud of him.

Similar stories are not uncommon in esports circles. More and more parents and educational institutions are beginning to recognize that esports is not only a form of entertainment, but also a competitive activity that fosters teamwork, strategic thinking, and resilience. Many schools offer e-sports courses to cultivate students' e-sports skills and comprehensive qualities.

Attitudes towards esports are also changing. The government began to pay attention to the development of the e-sports industry and introduced a series of supporting policies. Companies are also seeing the commercial value of esports and are investing in esports events and clubs. There is also more and more media coverage of esports, and esports players have become new idols and role models.

As the leader of the Esports Working Group for the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games, Ying Shuling is well aware of the importance of social acceptance of esports to the development of the esports industry. He said that through the platform of the Asian Games, the charm and value of e-sports will be shown to the world, so that more people can understand and recognize e-sports.

The widespread acceptance of esports has not only provided new career options for young people, but also brought about new cultural phenomena in society. In the future, as technology advances and society becomes more acceptable, esports will continue to grow and become an integral part of society. I hope that more people can understand and support e-sports, and witness the growth and glory of this emerging industry together.
