瞧瞧別人家的學校!挪威一高中將開教電子競技!
Most of us have tried to sneak a quick game of Minesweeper in during our computer classes at school, but for students at Garnes High School in Norway, playing games won't be something they'll have to hide. Garnes Vidaregaande Skole, a public high school in the city of Bergen, Norway, is to start teaching e-sports to its students starting in August. The elective class puts e-sports on the same footing as traditional sports such as soccer and handball at the school. 30 or so students enrolled in the program will study five hours a week during the three-year program.
我們大多數人都曾經嘗試過偷偷地在學校的計算機課上玩兒掃雷遊戲，但是對於挪威的Garnes高中的學生來說，玩電子遊戲不再會是一件躲躲藏藏的事情了。這座位於挪威卑爾根市，名叫Garnes Vidaregaande Skole的一所公立高中將從今年8月起開授電子競技課程。這門選修課將電玩與其他傳統運動，如足球和手球，放在同等位置。選修這門課的大約30名學生將在三年裏每週學習5小時。
Students on the program will not simply spend five hours a week playing games at school. The classes will include 90 minutes of physical training optimized for the games in question, with work on reflexes, strength, and endurance. Each class will be split; 15 students will play while the other 15 perform physical exercise. In an interview with Dotablast, Petter Grahl Johnstad, head of the school's science department, says that the students will have their performance graded, with game knowledge and skills, communication, co-operation, and tactical ability all being assessed.
當然，選修這門課程的學生不是簡簡單單的每週在學校裏打五個小時的遊戲。它還包含了90分鐘的體能訓練以優化學生的遊戲表現，還會以此鍛鍊學生們的反應能力、體力和耐力。上課時會把學生們分開，15個學生玩遊戲，其他15個學生鍛鍊體能。在接受Dotablast的採訪時，這所學校科學系的主任Petter Grahl Johnstad表示，這些學生的成績將根據他們的遊戲知識、遊戲技能、交流、合作和戰術能力而定。The school will have a dedicated room for the program with gaming chairs and high-end PCs with Nvidia GeForce GTX 980Ti video cards, according to its Facebook page. Students will provide their own mice, keyboards, and headsets, to accommodate the wide variety of personal preference that exists.
根據校方的臉書主頁上的信息，這所學校還專門配置了一間裝有電腦椅，以及專爲遊戲用的、搭載英偉達GeForce GTX 980Ti型號遊戲顯卡的高端PC電腦的遊戲教室。學生需要攜帶自己的鼠標、鍵盤和耳機等設備，以適應各種各樣的個人偏好。
Garnes has not yet decided which game or games its students will study. Two will be offered in the first year, with Dota 2, League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Starcraft II all under consideration.
到目前爲止，Garnes校方還沒有決定要讓學生們玩哪款或者哪幾款遊戲。開課的第一年，校方會在Dota2、英雄聯盟（LOL）、反恐精英（CS）和星際爭霸2中挑選出2款電競遊戲。
