As an emerging industry born in the era of digital economy, e-sports industry plays a crucial role in driving the development of urban digital economy in the new era and holds significant importance in promoting high-quality regional digital economic growth. The digital economy has a positive impact on enhancing production efficiency within the e-sports industry, optimizing its industrial structure, and fostering coordinated development at a regional level. This study aims to elucidate the characteristics of high-quality development within the e-sports industry, explicate its fundamental value and mechanism enabled by the digital economy, and propose strategies for achieving high-quality development from a perspective that addresses specific needs. These strategies are formulated through analyzing China's e-sports industry trends and challenges while considering key features of the digital economy era: reinforcing industrial support with e-competitions as core elements; integrating regional resources around competitive formats; enhancing talent training systems with focus on nurturing digital talents; and improving industrial supervision mechanisms utilizing digital surveillance technologies.
