2020年12月的亞奧理事會(huì)第39次全體代表大會(huì)上,電子競(jìng)技獲批成為杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)競(jìng)賽項(xiàng)目,賽事期間將舉辦英雄聯(lián)盟、王者榮耀(亞運(yùn)版)、爐石傳說(shuō)等8個(gè)項(xiàng)目的比賽,并產(chǎn)生8枚金牌。這是電競(jìng)繼成為2018年雅加達(dá)亞運(yùn)會(huì)表演項(xiàng)目后,首次作為亞運(yùn)會(huì)正式競(jìng)賽項(xiàng)目出現(xiàn)在公眾視野中。
這一消息令無(wú)數(shù)電競(jìng)愛(ài)好者們激動(dòng)不已。電子競(jìng)技的加入,帶動(dòng)了新一代年輕人去關(guān)注、去享受亞運(yùn)會(huì)這場(chǎng)盛典,為亞運(yùn)會(huì)帶來(lái)欣欣向榮的活力與朝氣,讓亞運(yùn)會(huì)迸發(fā)出新的生機(jī)。
來(lái)自贊比亞的曼波(Bupe)和來(lái)自也門(mén)的那迪(AlNahdi)都是電競(jìng)愛(ài)好者,日前,他們懷著激動(dòng)和好奇的心情走進(jìn)了杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)電競(jìng)館。
“星際戰(zhàn)艦”即將啟航
電競(jìng)是最后一個(gè)被確認(rèn)的杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)正式比賽項(xiàng)目,電競(jìng)館也是杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)場(chǎng)館建設(shè)的收官之作,杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)電競(jìng)館于2022年3月15日首次順利亮燈,這也標(biāo)志著第19屆杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)13座特級(jí)和一級(jí)以上場(chǎng)館全部通電。
曼波和那迪不遠(yuǎn)萬(wàn)里來(lái)到浙江杭州,他們都對(duì)中國(guó)文化情有獨(dú)鐘。曼波目前在杭州師范大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué),而那迪的專(zhuān)業(yè)是金融工程專(zhuān)業(yè),與曼波是校友。
杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)電競(jìng)館坐落于美麗的杭州拱墅大運(yùn)河數(shù)智未來(lái)城內(nèi)的北景園生態(tài)公園。見(jiàn)到電競(jìng)館的第一眼,曼波和那迪就忍不住驚嘆道:“主場(chǎng)館好像一艘宇宙飛船,這也太酷了!”杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)電競(jìng)場(chǎng)館的建筑設(shè)計(jì)構(gòu)思緊密?chē)@“星際旋渦”概念,主場(chǎng)館形似一艘“星際戰(zhàn)艦”,與電競(jìng)比賽的科技感、未來(lái)感非常契合。白天,杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)電競(jìng)場(chǎng)館如同一艘動(dòng)感十足的“星際戰(zhàn)艦”,漂浮在湖畔;夜色中,這個(gè)氣勢(shì)磅礴的建筑通過(guò)夜景照明設(shè)計(jì)又變?yōu)榫薮蟮男请H旋渦,彰顯新時(shí)代運(yùn)動(dòng)的獨(dú)特魅力。場(chǎng)館外部由陽(yáng)極氧化鋁板與電動(dòng)變色玻璃天窗組合而成,是國(guó)內(nèi)最大的異型曲面陽(yáng)極氧化鋁板單體建筑,同時(shí),它將動(dòng)態(tài)屏、三維全息影像、大型電子互動(dòng)裝置等一系列多媒體設(shè)備有機(jī)融合,將成為賽事舉行期間場(chǎng)館的一大亮點(diǎn)。此外,在性能上,綠色生態(tài)也是“星際戰(zhàn)艦”的一大特色。以空調(diào)系統(tǒng)為例,通過(guò)“地源熱泵+冷卻塔”等方式,就可以節(jié)能30%。

走進(jìn)場(chǎng)館內(nèi)部,偌大的場(chǎng)地令人心生悸動(dòng)。場(chǎng)館內(nèi)設(shè)約5000個(gè)座位,座椅美觀又舒適,可有效減輕觀眾的觀賽疲勞感。細(xì)心的曼波還發(fā)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)館內(nèi)墻進(jìn)行了特別的隔音設(shè)計(jì),就像音樂(lè)工作室一樣。對(duì)此,那迪頗有研究并介紹說(shuō):“因?yàn)樵陔姼?jìng)比賽現(xiàn)場(chǎng),選手和觀眾的歡呼聲通常比較大,這種材質(zhì)的墻體可以很好地將聲音隔絕在室內(nèi)。”

鐘愛(ài)玩《王者榮耀》的那迪還分享了一個(gè)與電競(jìng)有關(guān)的故事。不久前,他結(jié)識(shí)了一名代號(hào)為“偽裝”的職業(yè)電競(jìng)選手,發(fā)現(xiàn)兩人在談到《王者榮耀》時(shí)有非常多的共同語(yǔ)言,那次“偶遇”瞬間拉近了電競(jìng)愛(ài)好者與職業(yè)選手間的距離。
“電競(jìng)時(shí)代”正在到來(lái)
“電競(jìng)?cè)雭啞焙?,?zhuān)業(yè)電競(jìng)賽事場(chǎng)館的搭建更凸顯出對(duì)于亞運(yùn)會(huì)電競(jìng)賽事的重視程度。杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)電競(jìng)館是第一座亞運(yùn)會(huì)賽事標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的專(zhuān)業(yè)電子競(jìng)技場(chǎng)館,根據(jù)亞運(yùn)比賽場(chǎng)館要求,通過(guò)巧妙規(guī)劃和精心布局,場(chǎng)館既能滿足賽事需要,又兼顧了賽后利用。該場(chǎng)館在賽事結(jié)束后也將有機(jī)會(huì)承辦國(guó)內(nèi)外頂級(jí)電競(jìng)賽事和演唱會(huì),未來(lái)還可滿足多種賽事、文藝演出、博覽會(huì)等綜合場(chǎng)館需求。
在探館即將結(jié)束之際,曼波表示,他特別期待在杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)電競(jìng)館里能看到音樂(lè)家們的演出。
隨著時(shí)代的發(fā)展、新興產(chǎn)業(yè)的不斷成熟,電子競(jìng)技和社會(huì)的交融正在進(jìn)一步加深,而杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)恰恰是其中一個(gè)關(guān)鍵節(jié)點(diǎn),不僅會(huì)讓電子競(jìng)技的正向價(jià)值進(jìn)一步得到擴(kuò)大,也讓大眾對(duì)電子競(jìng)技的體育化、對(duì)電競(jìng)選手成為成為為國(guó)爭(zhēng)光的運(yùn)動(dòng)員有更加具有包容性的積極認(rèn)知。
經(jīng)歷了自二十世紀(jì)末開(kāi)始的萌芽、發(fā)展,再到如今的騰飛,屬于“電子競(jìng)技”的時(shí)代正在到來(lái)。電競(jìng)體育場(chǎng)館作為勢(shì)不可擋的電競(jìng)產(chǎn)業(yè)載體,蘊(yùn)含巨大的潛力,足以讓一個(gè)古老的城市煥發(fā)出新科技的榮光。這個(gè)萬(wàn)眾矚目的世界性舞臺(tái)將為電子競(jìng)技逐步走向大眾化、產(chǎn)業(yè)化和科技化保駕護(hù)航,我們也期待中國(guó)國(guó)家電子競(jìng)技隊(duì)能在杭州亞運(yùn)會(huì)上發(fā)揮出最佳水平。
Bupe and Al Nahdi: Eye-catching Esports at the Hangzhou Asian Games
By? Shang Hanguang
Esports is officially listed as a medal sport in the Hangzhou Asian Games with eight gold medals, where AESFs eMasters and VR Sports will also make their debut as demonstration sports.
This news has stirred many an esports fan, including Bupe from Zambia and Al Nahdi from Yemen, both esports enthusiasts. A few days ago, they walked into Hangzhou Esports Center.230992B8-E704-4748-B0F9-339C00F59186
Located in Beijingyuan Ecological Park in Gongshu district, Hangzhou Esports Center is the final piece to have been constructed among the competition venues of the Hangzhou Asian Games. After a year and a half, it was successfully lit up for the first time on March 13, 2022.
Traveling thousands of miles from their home countries to Hangzhou, both Bupe and Al Nahdi have a soft spot for Chinese culture. They are now students at Hangzhou Normal University, where Bupe is studying computer science and Al Nahdi financial engineering. The first time they saw the Esports Center, they couldnt help but marvel at its one-of-a-kind design, “Its like a spaceship, which is so cool!”
With its design closely revolving around the idea of a “stellar vortex”, the main building is shaped like a starship, in a full futuristic and technological sense.
During the day, the center is like a starship floating on the lake whereas in the night, it turns into a huge stellar vortex through nightscape illumination. The exterior is composed of anodized aluminum panels and transparent LED glass curtain walls, which organically integrate a series of multimedia equipment such as dynamic screens, 3D holographic imaging and large-scale electronic interactive devices, which will be a highlight during the Games.
The streamline design is complemented by the winding pathways from the metro station to the venue, which form the backbone of the nebular boundary in the stellar vortex design, supplemented by underground passages and bus stops. Together, they create a multi-sided rotating nebula, with the main building shaped like a fixed star, which burns itself to emit light and energy to the universe. Meanwhile, the skywalk spirals up along the outside of the venue to the roof garden, where visitors can overlook the beautiful Beijingyuan Ecological Park, and the sunken plaza and courtyard around the building provide sunshine and ventilation, a place for outdoor demonstrations, interpersonal communication and leisure activities.
Inside, the huge venue is gripping. There are about 5,000 seats, with chairs pretty and comfortable to considerably ease the fatigue inflicted on spectators after a long match. Bupe noticed that the interior walls, like those of a music studio, were specially designed for sound insulation. Expert in this regard, Al Nahdi explained, “The applause of players and spectators can be deafening during esports competition, which will be well isolated from the outside if walls of such material are adopted.”230992B8-E704-4748-B0F9-339C00F59186
The funnel-shaped LED display in the center consists of four large screens and four smaller ones, which is supplemented by six large screens on the surrounding walls, so that spectators in all positions can clearly watch the games. In fact, its sound effect is also up to the standard of NBA events.
After its admission into the Asian Games, esports have been further promoted in terms of its importance with the construction of a dedicated esports venue. The first professional esports arena that meets the standards of the Asian Games, Hangzhou Esports Center, through ingenious planning and careful design, not only meets the needs of esports events, but caters to its post-Asian Games availability as a base for top esports events and concerts at home and abroad. At the end of the tour, Bupe said that he anticipated to see musicians perform at Hangzhou Esports Center.
With the development of the times and the maturity of emerging industries, the integration of esports and society has deepened, and the era of “esports” comes at length. The Hangzhou Asian Games thus serves as a key time node, which not only further expands the positive value of esports, but also allows the public to develop a more inclusive and positive perception of the incorporation of esports in Asian Games as well as the identity of esports players as glory-winning, respectable athletes.230992B8-E704-4748-B0F9-339C00F59186
