2020年12月的亚奥理事会第39次全体代表大会上,电子竞技获批成为杭州亚运会竞赛项目,赛事期间将举办英雄联盟、王者荣耀(亚运版)、炉石传说等8个项目的比赛,并产生8枚金牌。这是电竞继成为2018年雅加达亚运会表演项目后,首次作为亚运会正式竞赛项目出现在公众视野中。
这一消息令无数电竞爱好者们激动不已。电子竞技的加入,带动了新一代年轻人去关注、去享受亚运会这场盛典,为亚运会带来欣欣向荣的活力与朝气,让亚运会迸发出新的生机。
来自赞比亚的曼波(Bupe)和来自也门的那迪(AlNahdi)都是电竞爱好者,日前,他们怀着激动和好奇的心情走进了杭州亚运会电竞馆。
“星际战舰”即将启航
电竞是最后一个被确认的杭州亚运会正式比赛项目,电竞馆也是杭州亚运会场馆建设的收官之作,杭州亚运会电竞馆于2022年3月15日首次顺利亮灯,这也标志着第19届杭州亚运会13座特级和一级以上场馆全部通电。
曼波和那迪不远万里来到浙江杭州,他们都对中国文化情有独钟。曼波目前在杭州师范大学学习计算机科学,而那迪的专业是金融工程专业,与曼波是校友。
杭州亚运会电竞馆坐落于美丽的杭州拱墅大运河数智未来城内的北景园生态公园。见到电竞馆的第一眼,曼波和那迪就忍不住惊叹道:“主场馆好像一艘宇宙飞船,这也太酷了!”杭州亚运会电竞场馆的建筑设计构思紧密围绕“星际旋涡”概念,主场馆形似一艘“星际战舰”,与电竞比赛的科技感、未来感非常契合。白天,杭州亚运会电竞场馆如同一艘动感十足的“星际战舰”,漂浮在湖畔;夜色中,这个气勢磅礴的建筑通过夜景照明设计又变为巨大的星际旋涡,彰显新时代运动的独特魅力。场馆外部由阳极氧化铝板与电动变色玻璃天窗组合而成,是国内最大的异型曲面阳极氧化铝板单体建筑,同时,它将动态屏、三维全息影像、大型电子互动装置等一系列多媒体设备有机融合,将成为赛事举行期间场馆的一大亮点。此外,在性能上,绿色生态也是“星际战舰”的一大特色。以空调系统为例,通过“地源热泵+冷却塔”等方式,就可以节能30%。
流线设计则结合通往地铁站的路径形态,辅之以公交站、地下通道流线,形成星云多边旋转的构图。同时地面“旋涡”旋转直上,环绕形成建筑主体,宛如星云中的恒星,正在不断燃烧自我,向宇宙抛射光与能量。空中步道沿场馆建筑外侧盘旋而上,直至屋顶花园,游客可俯瞰北景园生态公园的优美景观。
建筑外围的下沉广场与庭院给地下空间带来阳光与空气,为场馆的户外展示和人们的交流休憩提供场所。
走进场馆内部,偌大的场地令人心生悸动。场馆内设约5000个座位,座椅美观又舒适,可有效减轻观众的观赛疲劳感。细心的曼波还发现场馆内墙进行了特别的隔音设计,就像音乐工作室一样。对此,那迪颇有研究并介绍说:“因为在电竞比赛现场,选手和观众的欢呼声通常比较大,这种材质的墙体可以很好地将声音隔绝在室内。”
曼迪发现,场馆中央最引人注目的便是拥有4面大屏和4面角屏,总面积达240平方米的斗屏。“听说这个大家伙可升可降,最高可以升至离地面22米”,曼波感叹到,这样的设计,可以让坐在各方位的观众都清楚地看到整场比赛的精彩场景。再加上2部高清全息投影,还能让观众有上下180度、环绕360度的视觉感受。为了打造沉浸式比赛氛围,带给观众最好的观赛体验,一位场馆工作人员告诉曼波和那迪,场馆内所使用的十组音响都是与NBA比赛同级别的。同时,斗屏上方的6组线阵列音箱,和斗屏下方的4只返听音箱,配合场馆内墙具有吸音效果的UHPC板和GRG穿孔板,足以带来震撼的视听冲击。
钟爱玩《王者荣耀》的那迪还分享了一个与电竞有关的故事。不久前,他结识了一名代号为“伪装”的职业电竞选手,发现两人在谈到《王者荣耀》时有非常多的共同语言,那次“偶遇”瞬间拉近了电竞爱好者与职业选手间的距离。
“电竞时代”正在到来
“电竞入亚”后,专业电竞赛事场馆的搭建更凸显出对于亚运会电竞赛事的重视程度。杭州亚运会电竞馆是第一座亚运会赛事标准的专业电子竞技场馆,根据亚运比赛场馆要求,通过巧妙规划和精心布局,场馆既能满足赛事需要,又兼顾了赛后利用。该场馆在赛事结束后也将有机会承办国内外顶级电竞赛事和演唱会,未来还可满足多种赛事、文艺演出、博览会等综合场馆需求。
在探馆即将结束之际,曼波表示,他特别期待在杭州亚运会电竞馆里能看到音乐家们的演出。
随着时代的发展、新兴产业的不断成熟,电子竞技和社会的交融正在进一步加深,而杭州亚运会恰恰是其中一个关键节点,不仅会让电子竞技的正向价值进一步得到扩大,也让大众对电子竞技的体育化、对电竞选手成为成为为国争光的运动员有更加具有包容性的积极认知。
经历了自二十世纪末开始的萌芽、发展,再到如今的腾飞,属于“电子竞技”的时代正在到来。电竞体育场馆作为势不可挡的电竞产业载体,蕴含巨大的潜力,足以让一个古老的城市焕发出新科技的荣光。这个万众瞩目的世界性舞台将为电子竞技逐步走向大众化、产业化和科技化保驾护航,我们也期待中国国家电子竞技队能在杭州亚运会上发挥出最佳水平。
Bupe and Al Nahdi: Eye-catching Esports at the Hangzhou Asian Games
By Shang Hanguang
Esports is officially listed as a medal sport in the Hangzhou Asian Games with eight gold medals, where AESFs eMasters and VR Sports will also make their debut as demonstration sports.
This news has stirred many an esports fan, including Bupe from Zambia and Al Nahdi from Yemen, both esports enthusiasts. A few days ago, they walked into Hangzhou Esports Center.230992B8-E704-4748-B0F9-339C00F59186
Located in Beijingyuan Ecological Park in Gongshu district, Hangzhou Esports Center is the final piece to have been constructed among the competition venues of the Hangzhou Asian Games. After a year and a half, it was successfully lit up for the first time on March 13, 2022.
Traveling thousands of miles from their home countries to Hangzhou, both Bupe and Al Nahdi have a soft spot for Chinese culture. They are now students at Hangzhou Normal University, where Bupe is studying computer science and Al Nahdi financial engineering. The first time they saw the Esports Center, they couldnt help but marvel at its one-of-a-kind design, “Its like a spaceship, which is so cool!”
With its design closely revolving around the idea of a “stellar vortex”, the main building is shaped like a starship, in a full futuristic and technological sense.
During the day, the center is like a starship floating on the lake whereas in the night, it turns into a huge stellar vortex through nightscape illumination. The exterior is composed of anodized aluminum panels and transparent LED glass curtain walls, which organically integrate a series of multimedia equipment such as dynamic screens, 3D holographic imaging and large-scale electronic interactive devices, which will be a highlight during the Games.
The streamline design is complemented by the winding pathways from the metro station to the venue, which form the backbone of the nebular boundary in the stellar vortex design, supplemented by underground passages and bus stops. Together, they create a multi-sided rotating nebula, with the main building shaped like a fixed star, which burns itself to emit light and energy to the universe. Meanwhile, the skywalk spirals up along the outside of the venue to the roof garden, where visitors can overlook the beautiful Beijingyuan Ecological Park, and the sunken plaza and courtyard around the building provide sunshine and ventilation, a place for outdoor demonstrations, interpersonal communication and leisure activities.
Inside, the huge venue is gripping. There are about 5,000 seats, with chairs pretty and comfortable to considerably ease the fatigue inflicted on spectators after a long match. Bupe noticed that the interior walls, like those of a music studio, were specially designed for sound insulation. Expert in this regard, Al Nahdi explained, “The applause of players and spectators can be deafening during esports competition, which will be well isolated from the outside if walls of such material are adopted.”230992B8-E704-4748-B0F9-339C00F59186
The funnel-shaped LED display in the center consists of four large screens and four smaller ones, which is supplemented by six large screens on the surrounding walls, so that spectators in all positions can clearly watch the games. In fact, its sound effect is also up to the standard of NBA events.
After its admission into the Asian Games, esports have been further promoted in terms of its importance with the construction of a dedicated esports venue. The first professional esports arena that meets the standards of the Asian Games, Hangzhou Esports Center, through ingenious planning and careful design, not only meets the needs of esports events, but caters to its post-Asian Games availability as a base for top esports events and concerts at home and abroad. At the end of the tour, Bupe said that he anticipated to see musicians perform at Hangzhou Esports Center.
With the development of the times and the maturity of emerging industries, the integration of esports and society has deepened, and the era of “esports” comes at length. The Hangzhou Asian Games thus serves as a key time node, which not only further expands the positive value of esports, but also allows the public to develop a more inclusive and positive perception of the incorporation of esports in Asian Games as well as the identity of esports players as glory-winning, respectable athletes.230992B8-E704-4748-B0F9-339C00F59186
