Esports is being officially recognized by the Indian government. The term basically means video games that are played on a competitive level with spectators and are finally being recognized as an actual sport.

Esports finally recognized as a sports in India.#esports #indianesports #sports #teamindia #india @rashtrapatibhvn @narendramodi @narendramodi @ianuragthakur @KirenRijiju @NisithPramanik @Rajeev_GoI @WeAreTeamIndia @IndiaSports @Media_SAI pic.twitter.com/k6qlMZ00rE

— Esports Federation of India (@esfindia) December 27, 2022

The Department of Sports under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports will now also be authorized for the esports category. As per official notes, video games will also be recognized as a competitive spectator sport since athletes also use their physical and mental abilities to compete with one another in varying genres of games. This marks a major shift since the Indian Esports Industry has pushed for such an official recognition for a while now.

So now, competitive gaming will have a lot more depth to their structure since the umbrella term of “Gaming” will also be included in the official multi sports sections. Thus, all tournaments will also be treated with the same gravity as any other form of physical competition. Furthermore, this move will also help create a more budding environment around esports and also push the gaming industry in the region. India has already hosted the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games, and now, they can finally be a great competitor in the esports category as well.

According to Lokesh Suji, Director of Esports Federation of India & Vice President of the Asian Esports Federation (AESF), “Great news for us to begin the New Year. We have been constantly working on establishing the difference between esports and iGaming, and finally, our efforts have been fulfilled. We welcome this announcement by our government under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Modi ji, which will open new avenues to pour in more investment opportunities in this booming industry.”

Earlier today (8th June 2022), ASUS held a shareholders’ meeting. During this conference, the company’s CEO stated that the company is continuing to focus on the mobile esports market as well as premium segment of smartphones. Although, it has yet to make a profit.

Xu Xianyue, the CEO of the Chinese electronics maker, stated that the brand is still focusing on launching high end smartphones for the esports centric market. This statement arrives just prior to the launch of the the new ROG Phone 6, which will be its latest flagship gaming smartphone. Notably, the CEO stated that ASUS is a known figure in the esports industry and its smartphones also have a high market share in the segment.

Talking about the upcoming ROG Phone 6, it will feature top notch specifications like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC as well as high 165Hz refresh rate as well. Over the existing base Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the new chip offers improvements in both CPU and GPU performance. In other words, this handset will basically be one of the most powerful gaming phones in the market.

Despite offering a 10 percent rise in CPU and GPU performance, the new chip would also offer better power efficiency as well. Meaning, one would be able to get better performance and even longer battery life with the upcoming ROG Phone 6. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.

Gaming addiction is a challenge that faced in different parts of the world which have precipitated proactive measures both from the regulatory authorities as well as games publishers to help curb this menace. Well, one gamer in Brazil took his addiction to the extreme by killing a rival competitor. The victim, Ingrid Oliveira Bueno da Silva, 19, was a top gamer who had met with the accused, 18-year-old Guilherme Alves Costa at his home to take part in a joint competition on Call of Duty: Mobile, both players belonging to rival teams. The pair had first established contact with each other online last month, according to local news reports.

Alves Costa who bears the online name “Flashlight” allegedly stabbed Miss Oliveira Bueno da Silva with a knife repeatedly after she arrived at his home located in Pirituba, north of São Paulo. The accused is reported to have confessed to the crime in a video which he recorded with his smartphone and shared on some WhatsApp group chats including one for his clan. He also shared images of the deceased before leaving the crime scene.

However, the 18-year-old later submitted himself to law enforcement agents after the clan leadership alerted the appropriate authorities. The alleged murderer even insists that his mental health was “completely fit” and he “wanted to do this,” according to a statement by São Paulo’s State Department of Public Security.

The mental health of the accused will likely be accessed to determine if he isn’t insane. No sane person will stab his fellow over video games. Or wait, there is precedence. In May 2010, a French gamer, Julien Barreaux, 20, hunted his rival for seven months and killed him for killing his character in the game Counter-Strike the previous November.

Also, in 2018, two professional video gamers were killed by a distraught rival player who was angry he lost at an eSports tournament in Florida. The shooter who had a history of mental illness later turned the gun on himself.
