In the early morning of November 7, accompanied by the commentary of "From Tarasia to Reykjavik, we are the champions", major universities and online platforms broke out into a huge voice, and the EDG team won the 2021 League of Legends World Championship on behalf of the LPL. Through the screen we saw a group of young people singing and dancing, the circle of friends, and social platforms were all filled with young people's enthusiasm for e-sports. In contrast, this year of Chinese football, only a place of chicken feathers and the bitterness of the practitioners behind it are left.
Once upon a time, Chinese football also had such a moment, when the time went back to 2001, the national football team led by Milutinovic ushered in a match against Oman at the Wulihe Stadium in Shenyang. Before this game, the national football team with 13 points in hand was bound to enter the World Cup as long as it won, facing oman, which won 2:0 away in the first leg, the national football team scored a goal and led the score advantage until the end of the game. After the game, watching the players celebrate passionately, a row of big red characters came into view: We are out! To this day, this is also a cliché among fans, but this 2001 qualification did not become the starting point of Chinese football's glory, but on the contrary became a sad peak.
With the unfortunate loss of Chinese football to Japan in the Asian Cup final held on home, the last wave of heat of Chinese football has also dissipated, and the domestic football industry has experienced black and anti-betting, entering the Golden Dollar Era, and now with the advent of the epidemic, the major domestic clubs have also withdrawn, and the pile of mess left behind has no one to bear. Corresponding to this is the prosperity of the domestic e-sports market, according to statistics, just during the group stage, the peak popularity of Huya live broadcast reached 1.27 million, as of November 6, the cumulative number of viewers has exceeded 6 million. In the B station with a larger user group, just one of the finals of the global finals, the popularity of the live broadcast room is close to 500 million, which shows the enthusiasm of young people for e-sports.

The post-00s and post-00s are currently the biggest targets for e-sports, and the current news also shows that young people are more enthusiastic about the sport, compared with football, There are only tens of thousands of registered players in China, and the potential players in e-sports are countless.
Recently, the famous scholar Wang Xiaodong showed that e-sports will replace football and become a new generation of lifestyles sooner or later, and he has also said before that football is just a group of frogs at the bottom of the well, and football and education cannot be compared with anything. People around Xiaobian have also complained: policies and funds are inclined to football, making it like today's ghost, self-inflicted sins, and cannot live. It is not difficult to see that football and e-sports, one is a young person, the other is a middle-aged person, young people are energetic and vigorous, and middle-aged people will always encounter a midlife crisis.
After experiencing the Golden Dollar Crisis, whether Chinese football can stand up from scratch is not known, but in the face of another rising new force, this once dense tree is now crumbling. Okay, welcome to like and comment on it for more people to see.
