you might say you're almost always on the job as an influencer or stream right it's you chips out history you know. he pursues his true passion e-sports by participating in smaller scale tournaments whether as a player on a team and or a cast or a live tournament commentator no big payouts to be found here. it's a different story for this superstar he's the only german dota 2 world champion and then the sports millionaire. who rose to leahy talk of so me a k a kuroki has already won over 4500000 euros in prize money dota 2 is an online strategy game considered top of the line and it's john rocker. who was born in berlin and now lives in egypt but. it wasn't just business related considerations that brought him here. he had long

dreamed of living in a warm country as an added bonus cairo is close to his teammates home countries most of which are in the middle east. is back you know i was one of just 3 game is in my cards and. yeah everyone wants to play i wish me and i love this last which everyone knows about twitch and they watch video streams and t.v. strangely on your computer all funny that a phone. was born and raised in germany as a teenager it took some persuading to get his parents to warm up to the idea of pro gaming. and then. coming as you can imagine how that went down it was the beginning there on the tunisian ish the guys to my parents weren't thrilled of course they were they wanted me to go to college as soon as possible to dealing become a lawyer. it's almost like my family is

a rainy and you're expected to try to become an engineer or doctor or something was on shuffle. i spent a lot of time on my computer and of course they didn't get what i was doing on. high punk. after i graduated from high school i asked my parents to give me 6 months to prove what i was capable of and we supervise and they reluctantly agreed and i ended up being very successful on that and how to fly. around that time i came in 2nd in the world championship the international media international from then on my whole life changed the outside i was going to meet him i'm leaving. a team that's always been his way since he was a kid us that much more can you get done he says i'm doing this is a 5th term. i don't worry because i trust him if he says he'll do something he does it that's it and if he says he won't he does in his act. but

it's 1st and of course there's areas where he had a reservations my math is a good dunk in all this game is a speed and. you will notice 1st trip when he was 13 or 14 this really. was a great experience for him but it was tough for us at 1st. plays the real time strategy game dota 2 the professional gaming scene has grown tremendously over the past 10 years but in the early days many who dreamed of success were exploited he too got cheated out of prize money and travel expenses. the noise our hands leaving the sports is still quite young and when something new like this appears it draws the attention of a lot of businessmen and also criminals. people try to make easy money onstott so contest and there's the simple fact that the average gamer is young push up by

onerous assayas you know other words they're pretty naive and lacking in life experience all this nischelle i need is not hard to fool a 161718 or 19 year old boy who plays video games a lot when i was really easy actually and there was so much as as i say i'm father . daughter 2 was released in 2011 and the world championship is held annually. has competed professionally in each one his big win finally came in 2017 as part of the eastport organization team liquid where he's the team captain just please listen for release you just need to listen to. i don't have our support so much my control talking how i support was what was more i don't talk so much don't be like stress i go i'm always up on all you guys are soldiers ok your best players played all talk and we do it often and 2019 he and his team unanimously decided to leave

these sports organization team liquid and establish their own organization called team enigma i buy them the 5 players had won $22000000.00 in prize money some $20000000.00 euro. survives noticed seem to insist i smile and we travel $1020.00 or 30 times a year depending on how successful we are having go to a meticulous is very travel heavy possums and that kind of set sees loads of hard in general get it and that even conventional some of the regional under every thing is close by with these boards and otoh it's more likely today we're off to china next week we're heading to america ok you've got a jet lag and time zones then i read. and to europe it's been a while. and sometimes this goes on to all 3 times a month i was all it totally burns you out of one bone up with us this is one issue i think esau i will have to tackle in the coming years it was my son was in and then nixon on my arm i don't know. is already a veteran of sorts and

a role model for many young aspiring gamers in the scene but dewey sports stars have an expiration date. ish. i think it's pretty hard to say how old you can be these boards on sphere and we haven't got the data going to its own program i'm basically a 1st generation pro gamers of my country i personally think you can keep on playing when you're older washing this until you're 30 to 40 i can imagine as i initially in it's just that but like with any really as you get older you have more stress and more stress means you're less focused on your work site and again your work is to compete which means putting in as much time and energy as possible i personally think i'll keep on going until the international 2021 or that was my goal so another 2 years ago it's not so easy what life has in store i was kind i was living being a professional gamer is

a tough job involving high stakes and a lot of risk. the side of the movie that is us that you constantly have constraints you have to win i just playing around the top one kind of any sports there is no 2nd division like in soccer for example influenced by them it's there's just the very best you know you do it through a few years but then what do you do with your life off most of them that's the problem. besides fantasy another pro gaming genre is sport games. many soccer clubs now have their own e-sports team. clicking instead of kicking how sporty are these digital competitions. what defines a sport your heart rate a quick and polls dexterity. of its invasion i have mentioned this in sport some

older people may or may not think it's a sport or may say it's more or less physical if so few of us more physical than golf i can tell you that it isn't a fake disco so move some of this in the anything beyond that's a bit of a discussion 5 hike in a i think in 2 or 3 generations people will see things differently and be amazed amy it's just like something i recently heard kind of go back in 1910 there were 300000 horses in boston used for transport and failed and 30 years later there were none at all. well there are generations who think that this car thing has no place in a city and there can only be horses and then you jump forward 30 years and there's not a horse to be seen just cards on them. and i think the same kind of thing holds true when it comes to whether e-sports or sports or not it soon will be up for discussion if it's more than a game. is this sports or not what does a pro soccer player say we need with. who was an austrian national player for many years. i think certain conditions should be met

to call it sports which definitely includes having a competitive character and i think if i ask anyone here today it will say yes it's competitive meaning at least this 1st condition is fulfilled and we can drop the discussion as to whether this is what this nowadays he works as an announcer for soccer matches on a big pay t.v. station which now also broadcasts e-sports finals live with great technical sophistication after all an increasing number of conventional sports channels are now investing large sums in digital sports the sports events live on a sports channel imagine watching them alongside the people world cup and ski runs the old cliche of the unathletic computer nerd persists i was already into gaming 20 years ago i would sit around for 345 hours at a time playing games and i went on to become a pro athlete so often i don't get this whole debate. and i can think what you want of young people suddenly being paid to play computer games

but then some say for instance why do you get paid to play soccer which i've had these discussions before. for her part. isn't making a living off of gaming yet she plays in the soccer club. based in ferraro burg austria. whether f.c. basel. or rapid vienna respectable soccer clubs are increasingly expected to have. only sports teams. before girl county as she calls herself on social media has made a lasting name for herself and austria's top fever division the disney go. on for 3 or 4 years i used to play in a real life women's team and fought and i've been playing fee for longer than i've played actual soccer and now i've switched fully to the console and it's been even of the console to give x. . is one of the most expensive e sport disciplines players have to put together an entire virtual soccer team. if

you want your team to be successful and make progress it takes a considerable investment to mostly through the end as a developer e.a. has these cups and you have to qualify for each one you collect comparable series points to the point several cups of tea and you can only collect and by taking part in the nature of sense and you 1st need to qualify for the bigger then this is over $1000.00 players take part in the qualifying round if you can you have to be among the top 16 on the playstation and your chances are pretty low because there are some really good players that have a knife. with faith that you don't really great players if you might have not good and the players cost money that you can't just draw them out right either way you purchase random collectible cards and so far it's been if you're out of luck it won't have any messy old rinaldo in it but maybe some no name players from vienna or something. at the end some speed. on.

the society that's a bitter pill to swallow to hide so you have to cough up a lot of money before you have a good set of players. it's the same principle as in certain conventional sports not everyone can be a polo player you need a horse and people to play with you and a lot of us but i'm sure that's the same holds true in east thought. and there is certainly. some very democratic disciplines mean anyone can try the mouse and play even with limited resources and that if getting an mitten asked. point to. the computer you know there are days everyone really every teenager has a very very powerful console in their pocket and no one touches and it's called a cell phone doesn't want to you can almost always get started with today's games for free and for the most games you pay for cosmetic items to make you look better

like some cool tennis jersey that's optional. there are no physical barriers up to an extremely high level. if you mention that there are a lot of people who can't walk but they can play you sports unlike any other sport england women can play on a par with maiden any tournaments there is no difference physically the men can talk kind of a few that makes the sports much more democratic than at least half of normal sports probably even more so as a means of 50 points under us and it's one reason for in sports success i know that when the home cell so focused on them and that's in theory at least in practice inclusion is quite rare here as with other youth sports events it is clear to see women are the absolute minority. as you can get my care and love well i actually don't know a single other woman in the german speaking community i know brazilian woman who is

about as good as i am but that's it and that's actually quite normal to me and i don't get treated differently because of that time nothing special or anything that's not what i want either even if i want to stand out through my performance and not just because i'm a woman but of course you feel it is good for. the east for its referee eve on sheer from graz austria is also familiar with this feeling she not only works at. during sports tournaments but also plays herself. my sense is this there is usually the stunned reaction there's a woman because i've often been the only woman at a lot of events with a here in the area offline and people are curious as. to what some like you think they're very curious and communicative which i like of course because that also really like to talk i was coming to be honest but things can go right i've also had people say we want to play against this team 1st because

there's a woman and that's easy responsible and that i don't need to prove myself because i'm not inferior to the boys in any way not in the slightest and just to prove a point i've shown it a few times thank god but there's no need for any i was miss that's and this means that. prejudice is against women still persist in the gaming scene gamer girls are often laughed at the right as gamer sluts or at worst even mocked. how sexist is the east sports scene. club's a success just because it's in it i think it's a sexist of the internet and the me too movement to was one because they're tough to listen we still have a bit of catching up to do throughout society in terms of treating women properly. and yes it's sexist does the gaming world reflect 1st computer viewers the internet good buta phone yes it's an issue we have to actively address the highest and we

have to actively foster diversity in many different areas of. diverse attendance few 15 instead but this isn't a subculture with the issue is particularly prevalent business with dozens of beds and bits just like everywhere else in society so that doesn't make it any less of a problem in the south this things i don't want to downplay what it's simply a problem that needs to be addressed. and. evolve is on the road a lot. the multiple time national champion in call of duty wears many hats as a referee player and the gender equality representative of the austrian e-sports association because slowly but surely greater awareness about the question of diversity is developing in the east sports and gaming scene. most young women reach me through different channels either they talk to me because they see me in some interview or i might get an email saying hey i'd like to go to

such and such event but i'm not sure people there will accept me and needles. and i feel it's important to just talk to these young women and girls and try to encourage them and say hey go ahead and check things out in office because money hoffa's they are the usual stereotypes and prejudices i've got in my share of negative messages to you but you just have to take the high ground should we wish them but i just try to encourage people to be sort of a role model and say hey i made it so you definitely can't his songs when he was actually asked as i can see this. empowering women in the gaming scene is also girl gamer festivals proclaimed objective held for the 1st time in 2017 it is the world's biggest sports event where exclusively women compete . however the prize money is modest and sponsor show little interest or generosity . female pro gamers still don't receive nearly the same attention and recognition

as their male counterparts. there are also separate tournaments at major sporting events where only women's teams compete. to. their momentum is found when you. in town we regularly hold women's tournaments and they're quite controversial even among our own staff on the mic and i'm on the one hand we want to give women the opportunity to be very visible in a more intimate setting and to be in the spotlight on the other hand this is of course a form of exclusion alienation people. giving love he said with some with us treat the issue very carefully i think for me mukesh so would. this senate seat in the end we want as many women as possible to take part in a turning tide both as participants and events and viewers of the online broadcast and we don't want to actually separate them i think it's nice. it's also good business to build

a broader talking audience which we haven't really been addressing properly until this clip of the team just on top of it has been more of the exception for us to hold special competitions is i think the bigger issue is actually cyber bullying of off of cons. by setting up clear rules when organizing the tournament we give the players and tools they can use to treat each other with respect respect for him and get us a nice big nets personally i don't know if you know women because my team isn't completely female but i think that these female leads us sort of a safe space school girls who say hey when i go to an offline event i may just want to compare him so it's like his without any cliches without prejudice and without attitude just to play and sing and someone. you know if some s. and so i think that's what it maybe takes right now to fire up the women he sports scene but i hope of course that in 5 or 10 years time we simply won't need it he may leave. behind the

scenes any sports however women are already taking on higher positions for instance as presenters team managers or in marketing. almost everyone's e sports career gets started in their bedroom at a young age just like for it to be a shock a nadir he plays the popular strategy game league of legends he's 22 years old and the game he goes by dreamer eggs. besides training for hours each day he manages all his social media channels himself and streams videos to keep his fans in good spirit there was a fence other went off so that's man's want to get to know the players there was in real life people to see the players and know what they look like for example ronald it looks like this in the face looks like this and he's already like that it's sort of a you know when you're in a game you only see a virtual avatar and the name dream. but what does dream asexually look like what's

he like and how does he talks so what's his personality like. and that really interests a lot of people. out of this so this is this is different than this implicit. soviets managed to be hired by a professional e-sports organization the unicorn's of love. the players live and train together and what they call a gaming house and berlin but only temporarily. with online gaming there's no need to always be in the same place they usually meet for the 1st time virtually anyway. on the ceremony mansion house there were certain services and then you're in a place with people you only knew through the internet until then it's only fair that it was of course you know the name and you know roughly how they look because there are photos on but you don't really know who is this person here with me and.

then you meet in the one thing we have similar personalities otherwise maybe not everyone were playing this game. on but what's different is we're organizing household chores. but when you live with your parents you're not quite used to it. because you have to cook for yourself wash your own clothes and generally be very independent of. the daily routine here is strict the joint training doesn't start until the early afternoon and goes on into the evening hours. yes it's during this time that the most teams are online and can play against each other no matter their time zone. the game is league of legends where 2 teams of 5 players compete. each team has its own coach who analyzes the game every day they perfect their tactics a bit more used to.

look for a book on the form spin is pretty good. living off of gaming is the most all something in the world for a young person to do this. to you doesn't this show it was my goal to achieve that goal and i didn't start until i made. doesn't this is. getting there is incredibly difficult one thing often wasn't some other games older than me and i've been at this game for years but still haven't reached their goals . for the long story. on. myself so there is so much competition. you really need skills you need talent ambition walks and a bit of luck to be taken on by a team possibly so them to realize these guys are good will take him off the box of . the one where you basically have to get discovered.

there squirt the never. pick toby is from a small town in the austrian region of goat when he doesn't happen to be training at the gaming house in berlin he lives here with his mother brother and several cats and dogs. he was thrilled by computer games from an early age that once again what the were back when they were in kindergarten pokémon was really and his brother got started playing with pickup sugar on a gameboy. and toby was interested i mean his brother benyamin was 5 and he was 3 he would watch benyamin play and wanted to himself that's how things started and you know. but they played outside too and we're just in front of that one house now to be used to. make develop a storyteller family and you might know i'm proud of his grandma used to always say he shouldn't play so much but now she would be proud of him to write about

unfortunately she wasn't around anymore to see this but she would be proud of him too i am myself now you get me to wiley. but many people still have misconceptions about how much an average pro game a earns. monte lemon. people are really interested in his life so some people think we have tons of money that he makes loads playing each month and rakes in prize money i scan the whole lot because many people have heard of some 1000000 dollar prize that someone got all for themselves really only that they're stuck up a lot but that's never the case with this game yet people think so anyway and of a lot of people say why do you worry so much about money you have so much now but to be less now than we did before it is normal office job but he's living history and that's worth a lot yeah furia. toby is one of those rare gamers to have managed the 1st

step after signing a 2 year contract with a nice sports organization he now has hardly any time left for his girlfriend. the outlook is uncertain if you don't when you're around the same goes for his teammates. to be learned so it's on the end of the season players either get a new contract or get replaced. on bones were sore most of our team ended up getting replaced when the contract expired. on its dips and i can you go on thinking it's our now there's a new league and i'm getting a new contract. so it's of when they wanted to give me a new contract because they were happy with me if they don't support fishburne my top goal is to join the ranks of the real pros and from there i want to win the world championships you know there was this more it's what every pro game i want this is mine but that's another very big step to keep up with the international

pros and when it really takes skill on this concert this is a show on those of the most trying to get some course does this force. toby isn't the only one relying on a bright gaming future. the biggest winners of the east are the game developers world championships with exorbitant sums of prize money are the perfect advertising . and e sports are growing bigger and bigger. but as with anything that grows rapidly the question arises ari sports a bubble at risk of bursting. into blossom definitive on the us by definition a bubble means that something about the very foundation isn't right and that the business somehow doesn't deliver what it claims to act to if you know and yet we currently have 452500 1000000 is sports fans worldwide generating a bit over a 1000000000 euros of sales this year when the maybe you can see the business is just getting started and will grow much bigger focus in the few clothes of the ads . these sports are no longer some nerdy meet they are here to stay. but while

europe is still debating whether they even qualify as sport and all the sports in asia are already on par with an olympic discipline. to kick off. ghost town atmosphere means listless clay soft from the. looks of guns and elemental is flying to the sensible. non-stop excitement in the final match to. come to
