The Chinese city of Shenzhen wants to become the world center of esports. His government has announced that it will allocate up to $690,000 to those developers whose games will be used at major international championships. Creators of less popular esports games will also be able to receive investments — up to $ 280 thousand.
Local esports teams will also be able to apply for subsidies in the amount of $280-690 thousand. In addition, the city authorities promised to build one or two large-scale arenas and offered universities to launch courses on esports.
