How to Get Noticed Within the Community

There are many gamers in the community who are trying to make a living as a professional gamer, however, many of those fail to reach the level of engagement that enables someone to be successful as a gamer.  Twitch.tv is an online streaming website that allows individuals to live stream through channels while viewers have the option to view, subscribe, and donate to the host.  Because of this, twitch has provided an opportunity for everyday gamers to put themselves out there to the community to try to make a living.  There are many individuals who give up their established jobs to become a full-time online streamer, and many of them are unsuccessful at doing so.  The biggest mistake individuals make while doing this is entering in a highly competitive market.  What I mean by that is think of a video game as its own market (ie. Fortnite, League of Legends, etc.), within these markets there are hundreds of streamers competing for viewers of that game.  By entering an already established market, it is hard for those who are an average skill level gamer to compete for potential viewers and subscribers.  More so, people don't want to donate their money to someone who is potentially only as good as they are.  This is why you see many online streamers in established markets have small amounts of viewers.  To get noticed, find a game that is fairly new to the community and play it.  Sounds easy right?  By finding a game that is fairly new to the community, allows for new competition to enter the market. By playing the game as often as you can allows potential viewers to see the gameplay and it's contents first through you.  Keep playing.  Viewers will become more interested in your gameplay as you continue to play and discover secrets and progress through the game you are playing.  It is crucial to engage with your viewers, this is important because the viewers like to feel part of your content and it will encourage them to invest in your gameplay.  Using these methods will allow you to set yourself apart from the average gamer who fails to get noticed within the gaming community.

ProGamerGuide's Possibilities

Image
What if ProGamerGuides offered content more than pictures and texts on a screen?  What if viewers requested specific content to be focused on and actual footage of said content was released for viewers to see first hand on how to play certain games, game styles, and load outs.  These possibilities could be available to several gaming platforms.  The idea is to offer as much content to every possible gaming outlet, I believe this will branch out our company to the gaming community as a whole.  To debut this feature, I will post content from games that I have particular interest.  I will then request feedback from the community.  For example, questions that may be asked along with the footage could be; "Was this footage helpful?, "Would you like to see more footage like this?",  "What game would you like to see footage on?" Let's hear it from you guys.  What games would be most beneficial to have actual in game footage on?  Is there a certain style of ga

Hardstuck Silver in League of Legends?

Image
There is a point in time in League of Legends where all hope seems to be lost and you're slowly but surely creeping into elo hell.  At one point or another, everyone seems to settle at a plateau in League of Legends where their rank isn't increasing.  I struggled with this for several seasons of League of Legends.  I felt like no matter what I could do to achieve Gold Tier, it was not working.  My goal was to try to at least reach Gold Tier, just for the season rewards.  I tried to play every single role available and still had no success of climbing the ladder.  Fortunately,  I found that playing champions like Morgana(mid-lane), Volibear(top-lane), and Pyke(jungle) were keys to my success.  Disclaimer, some of my choices (most of them probably) were not geared towards the current meta.  I played champions I knew how to play, and new how to be successful with them.  By familiarizing myself with optimal items, I was able to use champions effectively the way I knew how to pl

The Future of Gaming

Image
Video games have tremendously adapted over the last few decades.  In just a short amount of time video games have evolved from simple eight bit arcade games to high resolution, extremely detailed, virtual phenomenons.  Video games are part of modern day culture, and they will continue to be as developers continue to break technological barriers. Developers such as Epic Games have used the function of cross platform gaming, this allows players from Xbox, Playstation, and PC to play against one another.  The famous game, Fortnite, has been a cultural boom in the last year and other game developers are following their trend.  It is no secret that the game mode of battle royale is among the popular game types to play right now.  Games such as Apex Legends, Call of Duty, and Player Unknown Battlegrounds have utilized this feature to create a battle mode where a single player, or a team of players, enter a large area and search for resources to fight against the rest of the matchmaking lobby
