Speaking on a panel titled "The Living Platform," Tang joined industry leaders including Lan Kwai Fong Holdings Chairman Allan Zeman and Carro CEO Aaron Tan to discuss how immersive technology reshapes urban interaction. Tang emphasized that the power of esports lies in its capacity to replicate the raw energy of traditional athletics, where the collective atmosphere of a live audience provides a value that digital engagement alone cannot capture.

To ensure these tournaments resonate, Hero Esports tailors its production to the specific cultural fabric of host cities like Riyadh, Beijing, and London. According to Tang, the goal is to create an emotional journey that begins the moment a fan arrives. By blending authentic local community engagement with high-stakes competition, the company aims to move beyond mere screen-based content, establishing esports as a permanent fixture in the physical, social landscape of the modern metropolis.
