On the occasion of International Day of Education, the Nepal Sports Journalist Forum (NSJF) Academy, in collaboration with the Nepal Esports Association (NESA), organized a landmark training program titled “Know Your Games”, under the theme “Igniting the Esports Movement in Nepal.” This initiative aimed to educate Nepali sports journalists about the rapidly expanding world of esports, enhancing their understanding and ability to report on this emerging field.
“Know Your Games” is an initiative by the NSJF Academy to train its member journalists in understanding various sports, including their technicalities, to ensure accurate and insightful sports reporting. This edition, focusing on esports, sought to bridge the knowledge gap between traditional sports media and the growing realm of competitive gaming.
Held at the Blue Star Complex, Thapathali, the program brought together 30 sports journalists from leading Nepali media outlets. The event was designed to empower journalists with comprehensive knowledge of esports, its global growth, and Nepal’s opportunities within this fast-paced industry.
NSJF Academy Chairperson Niranjan Rajbanshi, who also serves as the Treasurer of AIPS Asia, inaugurated the event. He highlighted the significance of educating journalists about esports, which is transforming the sports landscape globally. “This program has been an eye-opener for many of us in the sports journalism community. Esports is no longer just entertainment; it is a serious industry with immense potential for Nepal,” he remarked.
NESA President Suraj Dongol delivered an in-depth presentation on the global and local esports landscape, emphasizing Nepal’s potential in the international esports ecosystem. His session shed light on how Nepal can integrate into the global esports movement by fostering talent and building a strong ecosystem. Nepal’s IESF-certified referees, Arun Mishra and Saujanya Shrestha, provided technical insights into esports formats, scoring systems, and competitive gaming structures. Their session offered participants a clear understanding of how tournaments are organized, judged, and scored, making esports accessible for accurate reporting.
