Russia has officially recognized a new esports discipline — "tactical three-dimensional combat"
This is reported by “TASS” with reference to the statement of the President of the Russian Federation of Computer Sports Dmitry Smith. According to him, recognition will allow holding official competitions on the territory of the country like the Cup of Russia for games included in the discipline program.
