ESports' debut as a medal event at the Asian Games will change attitudes and be a major step towards Olympic recognition at last, gamers and experts say.
Gaming was only a demonstration sport at the last Asian Games in 2018, but gold medals will be up for grabs this time in China in seven different games.
