Live until you are old and play until you are old! Senior e-sports groups hold "Iron Fist 8" league event

　　In Japan, the "Care e-sports association" (ケアeスポーツ Association) is subverting people's age perception of e-sports. This group dedicated to promoting elderly e-sports has recently held the "Iron Fist 8" league event, and contestants aged 67 to 93 show their skills. The competition video has sparked heated discussions on the Japanese Internet. Through e-sports, the association aims to create healthy new choices for the silver-haired people that can both move their body and mind and enjoy competitive fun.

　　It can be seen from the official final video that these elderly players are skilled in operation and are fully focused, completely subverting the stereotype of "e-sports belong to young people". The contestants all have their own specialized game characters, showing their competitive enthusiasm that is not inferior to professional players. Currently, the event is mainly held in Mie Prefecture, Gifu Prefecture and Aichi Prefecture, but the ultimate goal of the association is to hold national competitions. Netizens praised this plan for being both innovative and heartwarming, making e-sports truly an event with no age limit.

Although older players are not as energetic as young people, the cognitive stimulation and social interaction they obtain through the game are precisely an effective way to prevent dementia and maintain mental health. This special e-sports event proves that as long as you keep your enthusiasm, games can become a lifelong hobby. Just as the philosophy advocated by the association: e-sports is not only a patent for young people, but also a healthy lifestyle for the silver-haired people to "live until they are old".
