pro league group stages before the playoffs we saw 3 times as many viewers as we heard during the playoffs last year. the playoffs in 2021 the top games and still fast pass and shooter games like counter-strike suffer games like the fat will try the illusion software on strategy games like league of legends to over the past few months and lots of people have also been playing bally rent which combines the hero base shooter john wright with tactical gameplay want to target. not the games are still being developed to appeal to players but now they're also made to be fun to watch. valor and is therefore in a very good starting position. because of its connection to league of legends or rather the target audience right it already has it has an easier access to the markets than other sports games market as i believe it's your nonstop.

league of legends still has huge numbers of fans around the world including and young from seoul all stream of competing with top players in an international e-sports championship at south korea's capital does offer the best training conditions as players like lee fake us are new york treated like pop stars and is poised newcomers actively recruited the nurturing grounds of all those south korea's p she bangs which sounds exciting but it actually just means p.c. rooms. large internet cafe's with up to over 100 computers with gin and didn't sue took us to see what. it's saturday incentives and student district and western soul. mentions who are good friends. and almost every day they meet at a piece. never around 4500 of these internet cafes in salone

a new ones open all the time. well there aren't as many prejudices today. before a few games a lot of people would see you as being addicted to computer games. but now if you are good that's something to be proud of. times have changed here's a bit of my. game of choice is league of legends one of the most successful video games in the wild. teams of 5 people with different characters fight against one another the goal is to destroy the other teams banks. both have computers at home but they prefer n.p.c. bangs defenders are more than just places to play for many young south koreans they're an important part other social lives. the day we were in route with

ginger and so happened to be a game day for the south korean league of legends leak a number of professional teams compete in the league and transfer fees for top players can be in the millions of euros almost like with soccer stars on match day many fans don't stay on the culture at home and so those who prefer to watch the games in you sports pass. this is retro game. although there's nothing retro about the game been shown today to top teams from the south korean league play against each other. when the season is underway this bar shows peace corps matches almost every day. can't get enough of them their proper nerds as they call themselves. to go on will be their good. gaming culture has definitely risible in pristine beach. gaming has become so popular that we could watch much is like these here and to be open and free. i don't know if you

know. millions of fans and millions of euros and prizes and sponsorship that sounds like a success story but not everything in gaming is gold or one thing that struck me is that they are usually made the men in the top teams women. but in these boards especially in the professional sector laws much less than their male colleagues indiana juniper black is america and one of the best known few made you suppose cost us. she did commentary on you sports events for you mainly from european and chinese leaks her one of the biggest problems in gaming is massaging the sexism in society as bad sexism in gaming is worse and that's not to take away all the good that gay men can do as a community because it can be simultaneously one of the most inclusive and wonderful communities and also one of the most vitriolic and hateful communities

you know if you're on voice comms and you have a woman's voice you were instantly met with a bunch of backlash it's very easy to check just going to you to fold i one of those rabbit holes through really fun to watch this all of the vitriol that can come out women when they're just trying to play the game at a casual and for fun level never mind at a professional level. indiana often experienced this herself. these days she only occasionally streams on twitch. she also gave forecasting a while ago new sports scene which just to talk sic any of my male colleagues if i say anything it just means less than if they said it and after thousands of hours and thousands of statements just meeting less a venture you just can't take anymore so is the industry doing anything. to improve the situation he put the question to chris to organize a of the tournament. you've seen. the sports scene mirrors younger

society many young people spend time there on the cover of online on an embassy they say things they probably wouldn't say he life face to face. that's why it's important to implement rules here as well. you know or very strict about these. events during a broadcasts but. that's the only way you can guarantee that anyone who wants to take part or watch can do so in a safe environment. there is still a lot to do women in these balls on provided with adequate support and some end up quitting the game scene feeling frustrated that's not acceptable and it also means a lot of potential is being wasted so when might this change versa lucian's on the problem won't be fixed and the next 5 hear is it will be fixed when i have children and i raise them to love videogames as much as i do and then hopefully if they have

an interest in it they become a part of this community that's when the problem will be fixed and it's interesting that it's one of the few areas where women and men there's no biological difference what you're competing and like we all agree that men can run faster than women and men are stronger than women by any sports you're not running or trying to move everything you want to mouse and keyboard so it should be a level playing field but because of the inherent. that comes with that women aren't. all wow would really take up enough space to to get back good everybody should be able to make the most of their potential in eastport for them and operators even advertise with this promise it's a global market over in abidjan the largest city in the core d'ivoire many young people train hard every day after school. every afternoon after school young people fill this cafe is it working districted average on. a 5 year old

sidique back a year and it's found. health you know i was 4 or 5 years old when i started playing video games at 1st we just watched our older brothers play my big brother had a computer as i grew older i started playing more too especially at university. turned his passion into a profession these days he has a deep understanding of the gaming rocket as sports are becoming more popular in and across africa the industry's providing an froehlich number of jobs and a number game as have big dreams. i don't just play here to have fun i want to be the best and to be the best you have to keep playing underscoring. sidique back yoko wants to build the largest gaming community in africa he's working with a number of startups to help them develop games for the local market. we're

starting to see a number of local studios entering the gaming market. very making content that contains the colors sounds and stories from here he says. you know. what us up if this also allows africa to also be represented in the gaming universe . the market has a lot of potential internet and smartphone technology on. on the uptake in africa and 2 thirds of the population under $35.00 millions agave middle east and many are eager for content with which they can identify not from games like craigslist and semblence from south africa where the action role playing game korean from cameroon plural hits. the environment the african market is still comparatively small. but thanks to gaming and daisy asked like felix but then it soon changed.

the east coast market in africa is booming according to one study the continent's annual east coast audience opposed 30000000 in 2020 and is expected to rise to 53000000 by 2023 no wonder at the planned africa sports series attracted international investors professional teams from 16 african countries are set to compete in the series what's your take on the market can you suppose be a global game changer one that drives innovation and helps regions flores or have they been overhyped but it's not on you tube facebook or the d w dot com and until next.
