I want to be an eSports player, where do I start?

I want to be an eSports player, where do I start?


Nowadays, the eSports industry is something unbeatable for a rookie player .How many leagues are there? Where can you start playing professionally? without getting lost between forums and promotions? What requirements are necessary? If you are tempted to be an eSports player, read on.


We are going to put a little order on this gigantic ecosystem that attracts more spectators and players every day and in which not only players, but also trainers, physiotherapists, lawyers and analysts of diverse people are involved, so if you want to train part of such a demanding industry, we already let you know: it requires a lot of discipline, commitment, companionship and sense of duty .


PLAYING FOR FUN


I want to be an eSports player, where do I start?


The common situation is usually the following: a player has been soaking up his favorite hobby for some time, consulting forums and improving his system in order to have a team capable of competing: headphones, a good keyboard and mouse, looking the best way to optimize the imput lag of your connection, etc.


The next step is simple: sign up for open cups, where you can compete by betting a few golds-as is the case with many tournaments in League of Legends-or for free.


In the ESL (Electronic Sports League), every week you can join the queue to enter the tournaments organized by the sponsors, or even create your own with your friends, to go practicing .


DO NOT REPENT FOR CHOOSING "EVIL"


I want to be an eSports player, where do I start?


Imagine for a moment that you are very good among your friends at shooting games (FPS), even if your parents are tired of telling you over and over again to stop playing and start doing something else.from competing you see that you do not give the size, that the level is too high or that you simply do not like it, do not feel that you have wasted your time .Your community will remain faithful to your game.


The same in any MOBA as League of Legends: Are you better playing in the center lane, are you a good AD Carry or do you prefer to go Jungler? Do you prefer healing or do rough damage? Only by playing you will discover it, so don't be afraid.Besides, LoL is completely free, just like Hearthstone.


LEAGUES FOR FREE AGENTS


I want to be an eSports player, where do I start?


Playing online is cooperating or competing .And all the great classics, from League of Legends to Street Fighter, passing through DOTA2 or Counter Strike, are due to this maxim: raise points in the table and Reach the highest positions.In this way, you will receive rewards and points that you can redeem for your player.


By options it will not be: from the quick games within the game itself, such as in the LVP Open (Professional Video Games League), the Open PlayStation League competitions-you can register from here-or matchmaking versus match-ups versus fast-paced opponents with similar level and without any function beyond that of practicing-.


And, if you are among the top positions in these categories, you will enter the Hall Of Fame.Like any other hobby, you should keep up to date with the changes, in case you update the rules of the game, watch big play stars to learn from their techniques , and understand the internal mechanics within each game.


Once here, you already depend on your talent and your preferences.Do you want to travel and achieve glory? Are you willing to work hard to achieve your goals? Well, the rest is commitment and talent.


TAKE CARE OF YOUR NETWORKS


I want to be an eSports player, where do I start?


The networks are more important than it seems.Professionals check them even from the gaming houses.Before the coming Banking of crowds, you have to learn to deal with other players, listen to them and keep communication channels open.If someone wants to be your fan you have to have it easy: Be kind and patient .


On the other hand, as we said, pay attention to the official channels.Switch and Youtube Gaming are wells of wisdom using them.There will always be someone willing to give you a cable in case of doubt and you will always learn to see how your potential rivals play.Why do they use certain characters in some situations? What tricks do they have to improve the aiming of the weapon in a shooter? Have you already discovered all the combos and specials of your favorite fighter in Super Smash Bros?


Finally, to be connected at all times, we recommend some tool like TeamSpeak, from which you can rent your own servers and create private chat rooms .


TRAIN HARD AND EVERYONE SEE IT


I want to be an eSports player, where do I start?


Whether you play on PC or on the console, let yourself be seen. Stream your games , even if you don't pay attention to the public, you'll be more aware of your mistakes and have a greater tolerance to media noise.The world of eSports is not just a modern word, it is an eminently social form of sport, so expect that at some point you will be at the center of all eyes and do your best.


In addition, few things are more fun.The YouTube movement was born from there: young people recording their games for the simple pleasure of seeing each other later .In your case it will be different, since each recording will serve to study where you could fail and what elements you should improve.


DO NOT WAIT SITTING


I want to be an eSports player, where do I start?


Most clubs have an official Twitter or Facebook account from which you can contact them.It is true that if you are a pro player, sooner or later, some scout will knock on your door.But better not tempt fate.


Record your games and drop from time to time through the email accounts of your favorite teams.Who knows, they may not be looking for anyone for their first line-the Orange Super League-but if they are interested in your game for a smaller category or for test equipment.


It is obvious: do not expect that from one day to the next you will become the star signing of FNATIC, but never give up and keep in touch with everything that surrounds eSports, for example, through SocialNat, that has a large fan base, in addition to clans, private tournaments , and a ranking system similar to those mentioned.The rest will depend on your desire for victory.Luck.

Internet of plants: a tomato knows as much about networks as you

The possibility of plant species communicating through complex networks, what some scientists have called the internet of plants , is an issue that has been discussed for a long time, at least 20 years.It was in 1997 when the scientist Suzanne Simard , from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada), published a study in the journal Nature on how Forest plants use complex systems where species exchange nutrients, send warning signals and relate to the environment. Although there is no scientific consensus, several investigations seem to support this hypothesis.If confirmed, as we read in a fascinating report by the Sinc Agency, the forests would act as huge structures that are articulated under the soil through a network in which factors invisible to the human eye interact and can determine the future of the climate.Understanding how it works is the challenge that even science faces. internet of plants and the wisdom of forests The premise of Suzanne Simard ...

No kidding: selfitis exists and can be a problem

Sometimes one thinks that social networks were created to share photos of faces putting on little bones and images of dishes overflowing with appetizing foods or, better, of faces putting little bones in front of plates overflowing with appetizing foods in the same shot.is to see faces, faces, faces...all of them smiling, as if looking at the smartphone mirror was the height of happiness.And it does not seem that there are so many beautiful and happy people, or maybe yes, that you go Namely.What envy.

Twitter shows the best of ourselves (it wasn't always going to be the worst)

In the era of social networks, accustomed to interact daily with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp, we forget that these tools are phenomenal in the History of Humanity capable of mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in very different geographical locations in a matter of hours or even minutes. Already in the past, Twitter has asserted its more social dimension to mobilize people, companies or organizations and also, from a broader perspective, feelings of solidarity and support or also of rejection and repulses towards causes with an important mediatic impact.Recently, Twitter was once again the engine of solidarity after Dortmund's explosions as the Borussia Dortmund team bus passed on its way to the local stadium on the occasion of the Champions League match between the Borussia and the Monaco. These explosions did not have the devastating effect that they could have caused , so that everything remained in a major social commotion at international lev...

Most apps for children violate your privacy

Do you know if apps with which children enjoy their safety? A team of researchers from the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) of the University of Berkeley has studied compliance with the Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in these mobile applications for the little ones, through a scalable dynamic analysis that allows the automatic evaluation of privacy behaviors of Android apps. After studying 5,855 applications aimed at children, the research concludes that most of these apps, 57%, violate the privacy of their users mainly due to the use of data by third parties. apps for children and privacy Although many apps offer options in their configuration to respect the federal law that protects minors in the United States, by disabling tracking, their results suggest that a majority of applications either do not use these options or propagate them in wrong way. In addition, researchers believe that 19% of apps for children send user IDs to third parties to show ...

Are social networks damaging democracy?

The revelations according to which Russian agents inserted ads on Facebook that tried to influence the 2016 US elections raise a disturbing question: is Facebook bad for democracy? As an expert in the social and political repercussions of technology, I think that the problem is not exclusively from Facebook, but that it is much broader: Social networks are weakening some of the conditions that have historically enabled the existence of national states democratic. I understand that it is a dramatic statement, and I do not expect anyone to believe it immediately, but considering that almost half of all potential voters received false news promoted by the Russians in Facebook is an argument that must be debated. Associate Professor of Philosophy, Director of Center for Professional and Applied Ethics, University of North Carolina-Charlotte How we create a shared reality Let's start with two concepts: the "imagined community" and the "bubble filter". ...
