据新华社报道，记者16日从杭州亚组委获悉，亚奥理事会第五次协调委员会会议审议决定取消《炉石传说》项目设置，杭州亚运会电子竞技将调整为7个比赛项目。
Blizzard Entertainment's video game Hearthstone has been removed from the list of titles set to debut as an esports medal event at this year's Asian Games in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, organizers announced on Thursday.
根据杭州亚运会项目设置程序要求，亚奥理事会于2021年11月确定杭州亚运会电子竞技共设8个比赛项目，分别为英雄联盟、王者荣耀（亚运版）、和平精英（亚运版）、炉石传说、刀塔2、梦三国2、街霸5和FIFA Online 4等八个项目。
Hearthstone's exit leaves the following seven games in the Asian Games esports competition: FIFA Online 4, PUBG Mobile Asian Games version, Arena of Valor Asian Games version, Dota 2, League of Legends, Dream Three Kingdoms 2 and Street Fighter V.
杭州亚组委方面表示，电子竞技属新兴体育项目，其办赛要求有别于传统体育项目。近年来，组委会在各方密切配合与支持下，严格按相关要求，不断优化电子竞技项目办赛所需条件。
《炉石传说》作为美国暴雪娱乐公司制作、在中国境内由中国网易公司代理运营的电竞项目，因双方商务合作到期，未就续约事项达成一致，导致该项目运营团队及服务器处于终止状态，已不具备列入杭州亚运会电子竞技项目的前置条件。
Hearthstone was one of the eight esports events set to feature at the Hangzhou Asian Games. However, the game was excluded after negotiations between Blizzard Entertainment and NetEase on operating rights and partnership fell through.
“Because of the expiration of the business cooperation between the two parties … the operations team and servers for the game have been terminated, which no longer meets the preconditions for inclusion in the esports program of the Hangzhou Asian Games,” according to the statement.
