Safe-space rooms as the modern space communities.

Are you tired of listening politic topics and fighting regarding the same? Are you tired of listening to all marketing tricks and manipulating sentences? Then we have a right thing for you. No matter what country you are coming from you can be sure that nobody will point the finger at you in the place called safe-space. This is a policy that is against hate speech, and it has been applied to game rooms and events.

Why has game industry started to apply this policy?

E-sport is something that is happening in only one place – the Internet. The problem is that the Internet gathers people from all over the world and the number of people is increasing constantly. Here there is no place for hate speech. Everything should be about the game. The main purpose of game events is to show your skills and to enjoy the game. If you want to be the best you need to choose the best team and sometimes your team will be multinational. You need to stay focused on the game and team work. Otherwise, you will lose. Here everything is about strategy and play. Your nationality or religion is not going to affect your skills.

Safe-space game rooms are places where you can rest your mind

These places are created to be your escape from everyday life. Here everything is virtual, even a war and there is not price to be paid. You can fall without feeling the pain of the consequences.

You can enjoy the company of the people who shared the same opinion and the same passion with you. You can also just play your favorite tune and turn off the chat, in case you just want to enjoy the game.

All it is important when it comes to games is fun

The main purpose of e-games is to have fun. Whether we are talking about GTA games or pure fight, everything is made for fun. The main purpose of e-games is to relax you to allow you to do whatever you are not able to do in real life. Maybe you like fighting games, and in real life, you wouldn’t kill a fly. That is the beauty of games you can be whatever you want whenever you want and bring back to real life anytime.

The most famous equipment producers in 2014

When in comes to producers of the equipment for e-sports we can say that there are a lot of them. Producers realized that this kind of sport is going to grow and develop very fast and they decided to work on a way how to make it easier and improve it. Every producer is aware of the importance of the equipment. Having a precise mouse is being precise in Counter-Strike. On the other hand, the sensitivity of your keyboard will affect your speed during the game.

From 2000 thousands of manufacturers and producers have been developed and they keep growing. Everything has started in South Korea where this type of sport was created as a sports discipline. Nowaday we have about ten of them who’s remain one of the best since the beginning.

Telltale Games

This company was one of the first that has started a long fight against episodic gaming. They were the first that cracked the code. In 2012, their five-episode The Walking Dead was sold 17 million copies. They are manged to bring a television production to the video game industry. Besides The Walking Deas, they also created The Wolf Among Us and Bill Willingham’s comic book series Fables.

Sony

First association when somebody mentions the game is SONY. This company managed to create a game console that can be adjusted to all players. After its brilliant beginning, SONY has wasted about 15 years trying to monopolize media formats- UMD and MiniDisc. We can say that they recover their reputation with PlayStation 4. Believe it or not, this is the creation of a veteran Mark Cerny. This brought Netflix-style fame streaming of the living room, everything thanks to the PlayStation Now service. This is the real example of the all-in-one living room hub. The best thing is the fact it is very affordable.

Plain Vanilla Games

A real innovation when it comes to building communities is Plain Vanilla Games. The most interesting is the fact that you can challenge your best friends on QuizUp. This quiz covers all kind of niche from ancient Greece to Traveling to the future subject. It can be varied addictive and can allow users to chat, and it has attracted 3 millions of users in the shortest possible time. We can say this is the fastest growing iPhone game ever and it raised $22 million just after the Christmas of 2014.

We can say that game producers are developing very fast. They always try to be up to date and to beat their competitors on the market. This is the main reason why they are developing so rapidly. The gaming industry is on the top 5 list, believe it or not.

Why is PC equipment so important?

You need to know that it is not just enough to be good and play the game. If you want to become a real pro, you need to have professional equipment. Like in any other business equipment takes a very important role when it comes to being a real professional. You would be probably surprised if we told you that the equipment made 60{f1e30bc0a44f5aaef2f84b88b5f207bf41059b771c8a2819cb0052aeaf7ceae0} of your victory. Yes, you’ve heard it well. That is more half, and it seems you cannot do anything about that. Well, in theory, yes, but if you decide to invest in your equipment, you won’t have to worry anymore about who’s responsible for your victory or defeat.

What should you do before every game?

Preparation is very important when it comes to competition. Like with car racing, when you are checking oils or your tires before start racing, that with e-sports you need to check your equipment before you start your play. You do not want to end up blaming everybody because your mouse made you lose a very important game. The sensitivity of your mouse is highly important, and this is not the part you should save money on. If you go for higher DPI, practically this means that your mouse is better translated to in-game actions.

Different game different equipment

You need to know that the type of your game will automatically affect your equipment purchase. We noticed that fans of Counterstrike prefer Alex”Lex” Daily of Winterfox. Here your mouse is a mark of your identity. It has to be reliable and to guarantee you it is not going to disconnect randomly. On the other side, there is no better feeling than having something that no one else has during the competition. It is like going to the battle with the most powerful weapon. Nothing can make someone more confident than a powerful weapon.

Equipment shouldn’t be a distraction

When it comes to equipment, you need to know that be aware that it is still only a tool and it mustn’t you distract you from the game. You need to feel cozy and comfortable and use your mouse automatically without thinking about it at all. You need to be completely into the game and move the mouse and your equipment mechanically, and that is the only way and a good sign that you made a right choice. Some players like to use headphones to have a greater impression like they are really on the field. It is better to use headsets because it will help you to avoid any possible distraction from the real world. Others like to communicate with others players. This is especially important if you play like a team. The good way of thinking is to consider your equipment a member of your team because if this member fails, the whole team is going down. Treat it like a person, as a friend and check it before every single game.

How to become a professional gamer?

Being a gamer is not easy at all, especially if you want to become a pro. Once I read that becoming a professional in this world means 3{f1e30bc0a44f5aaef2f84b88b5f207bf41059b771c8a2819cb0052aeaf7ceae0} of talent and 97{f1e30bc0a44f5aaef2f84b88b5f207bf41059b771c8a2819cb0052aeaf7ceae0} of sitting in front of your PC. I can say that this is 97{f1e30bc0a44f5aaef2f84b88b5f207bf41059b771c8a2819cb0052aeaf7ceae0} true. Knowing your environment can help you a lot, knowing a lot of different keyboards or joysticks or touchscreens can help you a lot and prepare you for all kind of challenges. Take for example a typing test; if you test yourself on your keyboard, you will be faster than to use any other randomly. It is the same principle as driving a car. You are simply familiar with your environment if you want to be fast and efficient.

What qualities should every gamer have?

Usually, everybody will tell you to need to practice every day and just to play. However, is it always like that, and is this enough? Of course not! If you want to play it for fun, yes, but if you want to become a pro, then you need to be aware that playing is not enough. You need to learn all the catches and to use all possible hints. You need to learn how to take shortcuts and still not to be lost after that. You need to watch tutorials and see how other people resolve this issue. You need to learn moves and tricks from others and sometimes to pay for them. Your mind map should be more strategic than you think. Creativity is a plus. Being resourceful is the first thing you need to be.

Who are your opponents?

Unlikely to other sports, here you are fighting against the whole world, and you never know who you are going to encounter and when. Furthermore, you have two kinds of opponents. You are going to fight against the machines as well. Sometimes you will be surprised how machines are smarter than us. This means that you need to be very skilled and wise if you want to become a real pro. The second thing you need to pay attention and be careful is the fact that PC’s are available to all. You do not have to be rich to play a game. Therefore, the variations of your opponents are colorful, and a lot of different kinds of mind will play against you. Depending on how you flexible you are your game will develop.

What to do when you become one of the best?

Even if you are the best never stop playing with the rest, the ones that are not so good. The main point of being good at gaming is familiar with a lot of different minds and machines. It means you are changing your strategies depending on your opponents mind. Knowing their weakness is half of your job and secure path to success. Never underestimate your opponent, if it is not well-known doesn’t mean it is bad and he cannot beat you.

How to be the best at e-sports competitions?

Being a professional game player is not easy these days. Everyone has a PC and can practice. Thousands of others people are playing all over the world your favorite game and are becoming better and better. E-sports are growing fast, and they are developing from minute to minute, literally speaking. Therefore, we are free to say that this is a type of sport. Although you do not need to use physical strength, you need to have your qualities team spirit, to know how to make strategic moves to be more than precise with your hands and have a very sharp mind.

How serious are games?

First of all, games are everything but the game. This technical phenomenon is growing and developing so fast that the competition organized for this purpose, is a high level organization with a serious amount of money, as a prize. There are even world championships that are attracting gamers from all parts of our planet. As the consequences of the financial crisis e-sports have been developed in South Korea 1997. Most people were looking for things to do while they were out of works and they found their escape. More and more people have started to gather in so-called Internet café/LAN gaming centers to play games. In 2000 the government of South Korea had founded The Korean e-Sports Association to regulate this activity inside of their country.

Is it OK to classify e-games as a sport?

Here you will find a lot of discuss and ambiguity. Some people thing it is not possible to consider them as a sport because it is certainly not healthy for physical condition. They claim that sitting so much in front of the PC can only harm your spine and cause a lot of deformations. On the other hand, there are people who thing that e-gamming is kind of sport. You can develop your mental strength. You can make your mind start functioning and thinking strategically. Furthermore, if we consider chess a sport than we have to consider e-games a sport.

Prize at e-sports competition

This competition varies when it comes to the prize. You can be rewarded with money or more often with the newest model of a game console, PC or cellphone. In most cases, a prize is a technical object, which does not stop gamers to enjoy their favorite competition. Furthermore, they play for the game and for the new way to improve the game. Money does not have the main part in this kind of competitions. Money here is the only purpose to up-grade your system and to improve your gaming. However, some competitions are offering enormous amounts of money that you cannot even imagine. In some cases they will offer you a “fake” that you can use later in the game to upgrade your bot or to upgrade your car, this is especially important in car games where your ride needs to be well equipped if you want to win.

Can we classify e-sport at sport at all?

This is a subject that can always turn into an endless discussion. But the thing is that both sides are right in this case. We can find so many proofs that support both theories. It depends on your perspective. It depends on what features of sport you thing are important. There are a lot of discussions on the Internet regarding this subject, a lot of debates on YouTube and there are no the right answers. They are right, all of them. No matter what argument we have and no matter how reasonable it is, the opposite side opinion is also true. To better understand what we are talking about here are some real facts you should consider.

Pros

Let’s cut the chase and start from one ancient sport that is classified at this section, and you do not have to be in perfect physical condition to be the best. Yes, you are completely right, we are talking about chess. This ancient game is a classified at sport even if you can sit during the entire play. It’s scientifically proved that during one play competitors can lose about 3 pounds, which tells us that mental challenge is equally hard as physical one. On the other hand, chess is something that requires to have a strategic mind and to know how to predict the opponent’s steps. Every sport develops this type of thinking. Gaming is also a team type of entertainment, like in any other sport here gamers need to feel they are a part of a team to accomplish their mutual mission.

Cons

However, others are completely against this theory only due to one reason. Playing games requires sitting in most cases, and sitting is the worst think you can do to your body. Pay attention to IT employees and work conditions. You can demand to get a table that you will be able to adjust to working while you are standing. More and more people avoid 8 hour-sitting. Those who are against classifying gaming at sport, claims that sitting can damage our posture and affect our spine and cause us a lot of back pain in the future. Even if you use ergonomic chairs, you will suffer from trauma or some repetitive kind of injuries.

To avoid this person more and more start to create games that you can play while you are standing. They are developing games where you need to use your body and simulate reality. In the future, they intend to apply implementation of holograms that will imitate your opponents. Modern technology intends to make closer reality and the virtual world. Every game is made to respect ISO standards and to prevent any possible injury. One thing that is practically impossible to be prevented is the protection of your eyesight. No matter what kind of glass we are using if we are watching into our PC constantly we will have problems in the future.
