The Future Is ESports


Video Games are more popular than ever.  If you have ever been on Twitch.tv or the Twitch App then you have a clear understanding that there are hundreds of thousands of players playing all types of video games.  The popularity is not with the newer modern games, some nostalgic content also emerges onto the streaming channels as well.  Along with the rise of gamers, a professional league of video games has been established as eSports.  ESports is like having ESPN for video game tournaments.  It is comparable to having a fan base of a professional football team, but for gamers.  Well this is exactly the atmosphere that has been generated for professional eSports athletes.  Imagine having an entire arena filled with crowds of people cheering on their favorite team as the go head to head with teams from all over the entire world.  This is a reality to the eSports leagues.  I personally enjoy watching the League of Legends eSports channel on Twitch when the LCS seasons are live.  There is a satisfying sensation when you hear analysts going into depth of the play by play actions that are happening right before your eyes.  The League of Legends eSports have been happening since 2011, just two years after making it's debut.  However, newer games have followed this trend by enrolling their participants into tournaments.  Fortnite was quick to jump on the eSports wagon.  Other games such as Overwatch, CounterStrike, Dota 2, Call of Duty, Super Smash Bros, and much more have taken the opportunity to join the league of eSports as well.  As eSports become more popular, more games will opt in to tournaments, competitions from all over the world will emerge, and champions will be crowned.

ProGamerGuide's Possibilities

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

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
