ONE MORE WAY

The history behind Chinese esports

ONE MORE WAY is the first book documenting the first twenty years of Chinese esports (1998 to 2017). Its author, BBKinG (Liu Yang), visited 30 cities and interviewed 67 players, casters, tournament organizers, club owners, journalists, and other people who built the scene.

The complete book is currently available in Simplified Chinese. English translations live in this section so more chapters can be added without changing the Chinese archive.
