On March 10, 2016, the International e-Sports Federation (IeSF), a leading authority in the global e-sports industry, announced in Beijing that it had concluded an all-round strategic co-operation agreement with the World Cyber Arena (WCA), an event organized by Yinchuan International Game Investment Co. Ltd.

Under this agreement, the two sides will provide specialized training focusing on all the links of the e-sports industry chain, including referees, commentary, program production, coaches, teams and competition management. The aim is to build a complete e-sports education system and lead the standardized development of China's e-sports industry.

As the Organizing Committee of the e-Sports Olympics, IeSF is committed to popularizing e-sports worldwide, establishing a complete training, education and benefit system for global e-sports players, and driving e-sports to bid for the Olympics.

After nearly 10 years of explosive development, the Chinese e-sports market has developed a uniquely large industry, with an iResearch report stating that the overall scale of the Chinese e-sports market is expected to exceed RMB 50 billion in the future.
