The Taiwanese
government met with development and eSports board members yesterday in talks to
become the sixth country to recognise competitive gaming as sport.
Taipei's Department of
Economic Development and the Taiwan eSports League submitted an appeal to the
country's Ministry for Education last week to discuss classifying the activity
as an 'indoor sport'.
The proposal, put
forward by Economic Development Commissioner Lin Chung-chieh and TeSL chairman
Huangbo Hong, would allow eSports ventures to secure government funding under
the sports administration.
Last month, Lin invited
20 players, developers and talent agents to Taipei to discuss how the city
government could aid eSports growth.
