LOL玩家有福了美大学设英雄联盟奖学金

The University of Pikeville has become one of the small number of American institutions of higher learning to add competitive gaming to the list of sports programs they offer scholarships for.

美国肯塔基州的派克维尔学院已将电子游戏正式定为一项运动课程，并提供奖学金。这一举动使派克维尔学院成为了美国为数不多的愿意为游戏玩家提供奖学金的院校。

Yahoo! News spoke to coach and alumni Eric VanHoose, as well as Pikeville’s new media director Bruce Parsons, about the program, which plans to offere 20 scholarships for players matriculating in the Fall 2017 semester.

派克维尔学院的新任媒体主管布鲁斯·帕森斯表示，学院计划在2017年秋季为英雄联盟比赛提供20个奖学金名额。

“It will be a regime a lot like athletics,” Parsons said. “[Students will] have to have a certain GPA. We’ll look at them like student athletes. There will be practice time and video time when they have to study other teams for upcoming competitions.”

帕森斯说：“这个奖学金的选拔将会和运动员奖学金类似。申请者们的GPA必须要达到一定水平，我们会把他们视为学生运动员。到时会有练习时间和比赛时间，他们需要研究对方的团队。”

Presumably players will also be held to certain standards of behavior in game and out, as are many student athletes in traditional sports.

这样看来，玩家在比赛时及比赛之外可能也需要达到一定标准，就像传统运动项目中的学生运动员一样。

While I have no doubt that the University will create and manage a competitive League of Legends team, I can’t help but feel that the creation of the scholarships are more about directing curious attention, and perhaps some gaming-related sponsorship dollars, towards the school, rather than an entirely sincere appreciation for gaming as a sport. But then, the same could be said about college football in many places, I am sure.

虽然对学校创立和管理一个有竞争力的英雄联盟团队没有怀疑，但还是让人有所质疑的是，设立这个奖学金更多的是为了吸引人们的眼球，还可能让学校获得更多的与游戏相关的赞助，而不是完全诚心把游戏看作运动项目。不过话又说回来，许多大学的橄榄球比赛也可能是这种情况。
