The country's measures to provide a certain level of support have offered young people more choices. "Additionally, organizing more events like grassroots esports tournaments and collegiate leagues is very beneficial, since there are many young gamers, including college students, who might be interested," Xu said.
When entering the esports field, it's crucial not to rush things, because professional esports and casual gaming are different realms," he added.
"Success ultimately depends on one's own hard work and dedication to training. It's essential to focus on doing what needs to be done, be prepared to face outcomes and have the courage to start anew when necessary."
In the future, Xu's goal is to improve his personal gaming skills and competitive performance. "Winning championships should be the ultimate objective for anyone pursuing a career in professional esports," he said.
But he cautioned that while embracing esports is encouraged, it's important for individuals to have a comprehensive understanding of professional esports before making a choice.
"Every industry demands effort, but in esports, success begins with excellence in every practice match and dedicating a lot of time to training," he said. "That is the first step toward success."
