Five years ago, Monumental Sports & Entertainment chairman Ted Leonsis notably s
aid that, “I believe that in 10 years, an NBA 2K player will be more well known
, popular, and better compensated than LeBron James. It’s just math.”
五年前巫师队老板Ted Leonsis豪言说
在十年后NBA 2K 电竞选手
将比老詹更受欢迎、赚更多$$$$$$
The NBA-backed NBA 2K League—which debuted in 2018 and marked the first major U
.S. sports league to form its own esports property—on Tuesday said it is “reva
mping” its operations to focus on influencer-based content, driven in part by N
BA and WNBA players and other celebrities, instead of continuing as a more tradi
tional esports property.
但五年后由NBA创立的NBA 2K 联盟陷入停摆了
它们表示将进行重组
之后会专注于由NBA & WNBA球员及其他名人推动的网红内容
而不是继续作为一个传统电竞产业
Additionally, gaming and entertainment news website Dexerto reported that most o
f the current NBA 2K league staff has been laid off. With those moves, the leagu
e is now effectively on hiatus until next year.
NBA 2K联盟的员工大部分都已经被裁员
在明年之前实质进入停摆
Bigger Issues
The NBA 2K League’s woes are far from isolated. Despite previously heady predic
tions, far beyond those of just Leonsis, for the growth of esports, the overall
market has been declining for more than a year.
That retreat, branded within the industry as a so-called “esports winter,” has
been marked by a series of layoffs, team closures, falling valuations, financia
l losses, and missed expectations in terms of viewership.
不只是NBA 2K，整体电竞市场进入寒冬
市场一直下降中
裁员、战队倒闭、市值下降、财务亏损、收视未达预期等等
In addition to those larger challenges, sports as a content genre has struggled
within esports, with many fans and competitors preferring other types of games s
uch as first-person shooters.
加上很多玩家其实是比较爱第一人称射击游戏的
体育游戏不吃香
