What are the development prospects of e-sports majors like Bai? First of all, -sports does not mean that online games and e-sports majors are unwise, but that they discuss how to play and neglect their studies. E-sports education is not a general knowledge popularization, but focuses on the organization and management of events, online self-media marketing, interpretation technology, content production, coaching guidance and data analysis.

Nowadays, e-sports has been listed as a formal sport. It is generally believed that anyone who signs a contract with an e-sports club and takes it as his main occupation can be called a professional e-sports player. It is understood that at present, the number of such players in China is around 1000, and their income mainly comes from two parts: one is the fixed salary paid by the club every month, and the other is the competition bonus. The average player's total monthly income is between 20,000-30,000 yuan, and some players also have live broadcast contracts as a source of income, with annual income as high as six or even seven figures.

Rapid development needs the support of a sufficient number of talents, so the development prospect of e-sports specialty is broad. If you find a good school to study e-sports, you can not only learn practical skills, but also have professional knowledge of e-sports, and there is a good room for future development.

The gap in e-sports talents is 2 million.

However, with the development of the e-sports market, at present, less than 65,438+05% of e-sports posts are in a state of manpower saturation, and it is predicted that e-sports people will be employed in the next five years.

Wages are usually higher than the local average.

E-sports talents need 2 million

At present, there are more than 5,000 e-sports teams operating in China, and there are about 65,438+10,000 professional e-sports players like Zhang Ning. A large number of semi-professional and amateur e-sports players are also active in small and medium-sized e-sports events. At the same time, a large number of e-sports athletes are engaged in e-sports coaching, e-sports data analysis and e-sports sparring. At present, the employment scale of e-sports people exceeds 500 thousand.

Accelerate the cultivation of professional skills talents

From "evil" to "healthy competitive activities", in recent years, e-sports has got rid of the disgraceful image of "misleading children" and related keywords have become "health" and "intelligence".

This change is inseparable from the "favorable" policy.

20 17 The former Ministry of Culture issued a document to support the development of new formats such as e-sports. Last year, e-sports officially became an e-sports performance project of the Asian Games in Jakarta. At this point, e-sports has achieved the same status as traditional sports in the national sports strategy.

In synchronization with the "national" policy support, local support policies for the development of e-sports industry are also strengthening. At present, the construction of e-sports towns in Shandong, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan, Liaoning and other places has promoted the development of e-sports employment in surrounding areas.

The rapid development of e-sports has brought great demand for e-sports talents for enterprises. According to industry insiders, e-sports professionals are very scarce, and the entire talent market is basically blank. The lack of talent training system, insufficient accumulation of talents in the industry and scarcity of talents have become the bottleneck for the development of e-sports as a new industry.

In order to speed up the training progress of skilled talents majoring in e-sports, in 20 16, the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Application of the Major to be Enrolled in Higher Vocational Schools in 20 17, and made e-sports and management a new major in the national professional catalogue of higher vocational education (colleges) in ordinary colleges and universities, which was officially implemented in 20 17.

As soon as the documents of the Ministry of Education came out, colleges and universities paid attention to and declared one after another, and added e-sports majors one after another, which provided strong support for the cultivation of e-sports professionals.

At present, many universities and vocational schools have set up e-sports and management.
