Zeng Zhuojun is the first champion of this year's event.

曾卓君是本届赛事的首位冠军。

It's been more than 2 decades since he won his first competition. And the past few years have witnessed explosive growth in E-sports, from game development and the number of players to the organization of international events.

“The development of E-sports requires players of different games. It's not enough to have just a single combat game. We now also have League of Legends and Honor of Kings. Players have been getting global attention, and more people are watching the games. The audience numbers are comparable to that of basketball and football matches. I'm very proud of that. As other games are thriving, e-sports have been gaining more recognition.”

“我觉得离不开各位电竞选手在每一个项目的努力，单单我一个格斗项目我觉得也不行，现在有英雄联盟、吃鸡，然后各种的世界冠军在国际的舞台发扬光大，这个也确实很多人看，甚至可以跟篮球、足球这种大项目对比一下人数，我觉得这是个很骄傲的事情。也因为其他的电竞在崛起了，在国际舞台也取得成绩，所以电子竞技越来越被重视。”

The five-day event includes competitions for four games -- League of Legends, Honor of Kings, DOTA2 and Identity -- as well as one exhibition Street Fighter event. Some of these also had their own events in the Asian Games for the first time this year.

为期五天的比赛包括《英雄联盟》、《王者荣耀》、《DOTA2》和《Identity》四款游戏的比赛，以及一场《街头霸王》表演赛。其中一些电竞游戏还在今年的亚运会上首次举办了自己的赛事。

“Esports development has met some bottlenecks【瓶颈】 during the past 2 years. But especially after the Asian Games this year, people have required a new model for a tournament held by a third party organizer. So the Esports Shanghai Masters held by the government can be a sample for that. We can introduce our Shanghai Model. And we are still looking for better ways to combine the government and industry associations with businesses.”

“近两年，电竞发展遇到了一些瓶颈。但尤其是在今年亚运会之后，人们需要一种新的由第三方主办的赛事模式。因此，由政府举办的电竞上海大师赛可以成为一个样本。我们可以引进我们的 "上海模式"。我们还在寻找更好的方式，把政府、行业协会和企业结合起来。”

The annual Esports Shanghai Masters was first held in 2019. It is the first comprehensive esports tournament in China that has been named after a city, and organized by the government.

一年一度的电竞上海大师赛于2019年首次举办。这是中国首个以城市命名、由政府主办的综合性电竞赛事。
