The 的电子竞技 field is perfect for anyone interested in event management, 通信, 游戏, 训练, 运动科学, or being part of a field that promises to grow more prominent and engaging with every passing year. For example, from 2018 to 2019, paid 的电子竞技 positions increased by over 110%.

.

As noted on CNBC by Peter Guber, a co-owner of the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Dodgers and the professional 的电子竞技 organization Team Liquid, being able to fill a particular place isn’t necessary for 的电子竞技.

You'll see that it's everywhere, and it isn't bound by geography. You don't use a stick or a bat to play, and you can play alone or with a whole group of people, play against the best."
