The future is transcending into something more digital. All around we can see its effects bleeding over into our sporting events, which will soon probably have their own major league followed by their own version of a "super bowl." It wouldn’t be the least surprising at all if we were to see a college version of the sport to pop-up on the collegic side of the league in the near future. High schools may never see the sport enter into their halls and toss down banners over the gym walls as they hang proud next to other more traditional physical sports, but many colleges would want to invest and jump in on the quickly rising sport before they miss the lucrative money train.
The tournament and the final in particular did not disappoint, with arguably two of the best teams in the world squaring off against each other. EDward Gaming took out SK Telecom T1 in a close 3 to 2 series to give the Chinese the victory over the Koreans. SK Telecom certainly didn't make it easy. The team's best player, and one of the top mid laners in the world, Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok nearly won the series for SK all by hims
No one had ever taken out Faker when he played on his favorite champion, Leblanc, which is why it was surprising when EDward chose not to ban the character for the decisive game 5. But it turns out, they had a plan. Faker took the bait, only to see his unkillable streak as Leblanc come to an
Just with these two Champions alone, the gameplay of **Riftbound ** changes considerably. I'm anxious to test out all the new Champion combinations and see what kind of decks I can come up with. We'll all get the chance to try it together on October 31, when the English version of the game is released worldw
On the mobile platform, the continued dominance of Pokemon GO is also the most unsurprising, as the title's status of global phenomenon has not been in jeopardy despite the development team's slow response time in updating or implementing key design features. Pokemon GO sits comfortably ahead of its compatriots on mobile, much like League of Legends does its competitors on PC - World of Warcraft is the closest to Riot's cash cow, with the nearest genre competitor being DOTA 2 a full six ranks behind Leag
The newest job in sports right now is a video game coach. That’s right; being a coach to gamers is a real job now and the coach does everything a football or hockey coach would do from sitting down and studying past game footage to making sure all his players get along. A video game coach, or eSports coach as they're being called, can make anywhere between $30,000 to $50,000 a year including a performance bonus and health insurance tacked on to it. eSports coaches are making about the same rate as a minor league baseball coach would make, but it would not be surprising if that was to be bumped up in the near future once the medium has taken off and grown even bigger than it already has.
Developer Riot Games has gone to great lengths over the past few months in an effort to keep their 67 million-strong playerbase in line by rewarding good behavior and encouraging reform when players don't abide by the rules. Most notably, Riot recently began doling out free champion skins to players who hadn't been banned from the game (or received a chat ban) in a set period of time and if a player wasn't eligible for the reward then they'd be able to improve their behavior in time for the next one. Riot also nixed permanent bans for competitive players, instead giving out 'indefinite' bans so that players could have their case reviewed after a minimum of two competitive seas
If you're a gamer, chances are that you have watched Rocket Jump's Video Game High School series, and on the off chance that you haven’t, you should check it out on YouTube or Netflix. The show depicts a high school for the most elite gamers around who’s after-school sports are eSports where they have coaches and go to gaming meets to compete for the crown and prize money. That fictionalized high school setting might just be a dream for gamers, but with the growing popularity in eSport gaming both in pop culture, media and in the sporting world, it might end up being more than just a television show.
The setup for Riftbound is simple. You're playing the role of a legend/Champion from the Strategy Game Walkthrough|Https://Strategynewsbase.Com/, who typically provides a passive ability for your deck. You'll have hero cards as well as a standard deck you've constructed, with cards that benefit any Champion. Turns are taken one after another on separate sides, with players resolving cards based on cost, fueled by ru
So far, the reaction to the system from League of Legends players has been divisive. Some people welcome the instant nature of the punishments but others have taken concern that if the system is automated, certain things may slip through the cracks. This system won't be able to look at intentional feeding and other forms of bad sportsmanship either. Riot will be on hand at the beginning though, as their player behaviour team will be hand-reviewing the first few thousand cases that come through, to make sure that the system is doing its job prope
