ABSTRACT
E-sports have been developing rapidly in recent years as a new sports industry. The development of e-sports is closely related to the rapid development of Internet information technology and the popularization of live broadcasts. With the increasing scale of the industry, the influence of e-sports is constantly increased. E-sports are different from traditional online games. But being addicted to e-sports will seriously affect the study, work, and life in the traditional concept of people. The e-sports industry must play a positive role and assume social responsibility if it wants healthy development. In this paper, the positive role produced by the social responsibility is analyzed deeply in the development of the e-sports industry. It is suggested that the e-sports industry should actively undertake social responsibility, accelerating industrial upgrading and integration. The overall social influence of the e-sports industry is promoted in a correct and positive way. The industry norms of the e-sports are established, forming a sustainable benign development.
