Culture has become an increasingly commercialized concept nowadays (Q1, Q2, Q3). This phenomenon is a double-edged sword. Q1: "The Esports Asian Champions League (ACL) will kick off next year, with tens of thousands of professional players set to compete across the continent in a six-month season each year, VSPO announced on Tuesday. The Tencent Holdings-backed company is the biggest esports operator in Asia." Q2: "The tournament could bolster China's efforts to gain a greater foothold in the global esports industry, something the country has sought as part of an effort to boost its soft power through cultural exports." Q3: "...the Esports World Cup (EWC), a two-month multi-game event held in Saudi Arabia this summer. VSPO said it is in discussions to make ACL a qualifier event for EWC 2025." https://lnkd.in/g2cwYt6g
