You have to use terry shoals reports now from the belgian town of st rudin and one familys heartbreaking loss to the pandemic. The world has lost a 1000000 lives. One of them meant the world to 10 year old lorenzo my grandpa was the best his grandpa luke picked him up from school each day and was the only nato merch and after that. We just played the couch and just didnt really want to deal. Mostly i got snacks and anything but their hometown seeing trued in was hit early and hard by the coronavirus we had 53 people.

The truck was really hauled. Mayor very early hit and felt it personally her husband became critically ill but survived it was a terrible time for the families but also for us as a mayor but also all the people of my policemen and you know the people in the tongue working. 24 hours a day 6 months later seen tritton has the infection rate under control with strict measures father room in and says now inhabitants need to heal its important that we share. With each other what we feel what we want or are and she thinks are the 2 but also or the. Mayor here and decided to create a space for that a corner of a city park is now a memorial the theme forget me not plenty of those flowers have been planted by city landscape or d.

That i was brave and that i was happy that i did it that i could for all would l. Out. Please happy. No one here will forget. The black hole that is president dollars from personal finances is seeing a little more light along investigation by the New York Times suggest the selfproclaimed billionaire and socalled business genius may actually face the financial nightmare of loans bad deals and unpaid tax totally hundreds of millions of dollars and that bill is likely coming due democrats say trumps loss making Business Ventures around the world could pose a National Security risk trump denies any wrongdoing as he faces his opponent joe biden at the 1st president ial debate on tuesday. Your reactions to the New York Times reflected the deep divisions that are evident across america in this Election Year for 30 because i pay way more than that in quarterly tax payments and im a Business Owner so i think it will affect the election probably not because theres been way worse accusations against him before and people havent cared if the premise is not true is not true you know why now why now they bring this up like 35 days through election day you know me makes my blood boil. Everything he does makes my blood boil and whats going to make my blood boil even more is that there are no consequences to this and just more proof that hes a con man and always has been he has done a lot in the past few years that were. Against the law things that are against the law and people would have probably been prosecuted or thrown in jail for but he got away with it so i think this is just another thing that theyll just throw in that bucket and forget about it. The story adds to the troubles of a president trailing badly in opinion polls the newspaper reported that tax filings show donald trump pay just 750. 00 in federal income taxes in 2016 the year he won the presidency and the same amount in 2017 his 1st year in office and he paid no income taxes whatsoever in 10 of the previous 15 years. Thats because he reported losing more money than he made according to the times he also reported to be personally responsible for loans and other debts totaling more than 420000000. 00 revelations that undermine the image trump likes to promote of himself as a successful businessman and deal maker. Trump dismissed the story as untrue it was total fake news right up. On tuesday evening trump and his challenger joe biden face off for the 1st of 3 televised debates trumps tax history gives the democrats fresh ammunition going into the final month of the campaign. Earlier i asked you to be a washington correspondent carl in a sham law if any of trumps legit wrongdoings could be illegal. That is exactly the point this is not really illegal he has been evading taxes but this is all in an illegal frame and that is also what his supporters and the media that supports him as says about that some of them some of his supporters might even see him as a smart businessman as a very clever business i because he knows how to evade taxes in a legal frame so this is why they think this is a strategy of democrats and the socalled fake news in terms words to discredit him. Some days before the elections and also of course only one day before the president ial debate firefighters are battling to contain fast moving wildfires tearing through Northern California strong winds have been fanning the flames which have killed at least 3 people and scorched close to 5000 hectares of land officials have issued widespread evacuation orders.

Ive been at live events where someone told me to my face no bad just because im a woman after all thats just life thats a. Good only good thing when my car wouldnt want my kid to sit in the room and read books every day either. Playing more tournaments or being helped more sponsors are investing. More and more viewers want to watch the digital showdown why. The fast paced computer game competitions of the sports have undeniably gone mainstream i question shit for a journalist expert in Digital Gaming culture and passionate computer gamer has been documenting the hype for years. The snake im not sides by its no different than conventional schools in my main with fascinated to see people who are really good at something to compete against each other and test their mettle. And then come it makes you want to watch one and so its. There are other factors. Like the rush of emotions going on as of the thing and there is special moments which is surprise effect when a game suddenly changes the feel like everyone remembers the scene when xena didnt sit down and gave Marco Materazzi a head but i mean the 2006 World Cup Final and was expelled from the field on canals like it would in the q.

But not all esports are equal. Every single computer game has its own rules just like soccer has nothing to do with tennis. The 3 big john resort tutors sports and strategy games. The top players of a game by against each other in tournaments but. Those who actually manage to win a World Championship have the chance to get rich off of gaming.

I 30000000. 00 are up for grabs at the 2019 fortnight world cup and over 34000000. 00 for dota 2 a new record i. Just had all fantasies apply skating really knows how incredibly unfortunate the prize money has happened because it draws peoples attention to the game must have also honesty and a sheet about imply skate on massif said i will stop the same time there are a tremendous differences in the sun and seeking a while back before players complained about how little they get missing of its really not much you have to invest quite a bit thats and then lets say your ranks number 20 in the world in this game that millions of people play world wide of the golf and then you might get i dont know 1000 euros 20500.

Businesses want to advertise to a target audience that is currently very difficult to reach young men. As i finished only its amazing how often the banks and Health InsuranceCompanies Invest in east boston and act as sponsors and esports in this team now and. No offense to them thats im tired of these arent exactly the sectors that come to mind when you think people get the french innovative teeth as a van and then they use these events as a podium both so you make this is so c. H. In with them in fact in the its really interesting and shows what a great image a sports maybe have its not as tight as a base and even banks are saying maybe east will its going to help us be a little cooler at the so god. Awful nice kind of see spot stuff ahead from this include lots of a i. Think if you you know it but how did esports become a mass phenomenon it all began with atari. Even back then competitions were held in arcades and this is where the Digital Gaming culture was born. A bit later it found its way into home living rooms with the advent of game console almost all of them are Still Available today in a different form. With the rise of affordable Home Computers in the late 1990 s. The market began to grow. In the early 2000 to gamers met up at lan parties. Private p. C. s were linked together to form local Area Networks or lands in which teams fought it out in tournaments. Considered the Bernie Ecclestone of the sports this man wants them to surpass conventional sports and popularity the world over. Founded the Electronic Sports League for e. S. L. In the year 2000. His cologne based Company OffersServices Related to each sport Event Management sponsorship and advertising. In addition the e. S. L. Is one of the top tournaments organizers in europe with 7 International Offices and hundreds of employees worldwide. And on and on can ask the n. D. P. Said about the 1st event i organized on my own as an event manager was allowed to top thank you kai remember about this Novato Hammersmith of home office and then yeah and fit some on the long year i was in london 13 or 14 times and it was kind of a students dream. Youre holding a computer game tournament in the coolest city in europe and there was this incredibly friendly and attractive a Hotel Manager we had a lot of fun with what time it is a little bit of a few spots but. What started out in a london hotel for reichert is now a mass phenomenon. The events are bustling with visitors. And the online viewership of World Championships can reach 44000000. Of us it is definitely a global phenomenon but its bigger in some asia. Asia is where the lead role is the polish especially south korea. May not be the birthplace of the. But they are perhaps like how soccer is to brazilians. And for this i today much of the International Sports elite comes from south korea i the states strongly intervene in this development.

The colorful world of Digital Gaming is a 1000000000. 00 business World Championships are gigantic entertainment events and opportunities to feel like youre a hero or heroine. Digital dances from popular games have long since found their way into the real world and become part of popular culture. Their steps can be seen being performed at school in dance classes or by star Soccer Players. At events like game city or comic con the lines blur between gaming these sports and cost play where fans dress up like their favorite characters from movies Computer Games or comics. Influencers play an Important Role in promoting games and brand. At these events this influencer just has to be seen for his sponsors this is rene bergs aka luigi kid the 23 year old has been playing Super Smash Bros since he was a child. I. Get my name is luigi kids luigi is super mario brothers so it was a perfect fit from the beginning since i have a connection with intent and off the box and been since i grew up with nintendo and make a lot of intended content on my channel i was quickly invited to a Nintendo Press office to test their game. And then it just makes connections to connections but since then i have been in close contact with tendo and i sometimes have the chance to test games earlier. To taste luigi kid went on to build up his own brand around you tube videos and streams covering nintendos games and all its products and of course the company also sponsors him. Course i want to entertain people but i also want to be as informative as possible so that people know what theyre looking. Ahead and buy it themselves it just goes hand in hand. Kid cant live from his lets play series alone where he shows and comments on Computer Games. During tournaments he also sometimes shows other gamers how to stay in shape physically hes a qualified fitness trainer. And his job as an influencer however entail a lot of work still makes. For his. Days its a lot of people who watch you tube videos and streams think its a piece of cake Just Press Record he says although. I mean what goes on in front of a camera is so fun and. What is the postproduction afterwards editing the video thats the real dogs just cutting it usually takes 10 times as long as recording it and many people underestimate. This is shawn its exhausting sitting at the computer for several hours nonstop cutting and staying focused its just. Not its. A competition in the online video game streaming market is tough. Every day people spend the millions of hours watching others play. Behemoths like amazon with its platform twitch google with you tube for microsoft with its channel mixer vibe for the audiences attention the rights to major east boards leagues and players. Just like in real sports these mouse wielding athletes are traded for terrific sums of money and headhunters. For luigi kid thats a whole different world hes a one man show you. Should all have now managed to have a normal sleep schedule i get up shower you know balance breakfast maybe work out. Then i sit down on my p. C. It hit record my videos and cut them right afterwards so ive got to behind me that i upload them to the best. They usually go online on my channel at 10 pm and i have to respond to comments online promotional activities and always be active on social media. Youre almost always on the job as an influencer or stream right its a stream of. He pursues his true passion esports 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. Its a different story for this superstar hes the only german dota 2 World Champion and the new sports millionaire. Who wrote. Me a k. Kuroki has already won over 4500000 euros in prize money dota 2 is an online strategy game considered top of the line and its john rocker. Was born in berlin and now lives in egypt but. It wasnt 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. You know i was one of just 3 game is in my clothes and. You know Everyone Wants to play i love this last which everyone knows about. Which and they watch video streams and t. V. Strangely on your computer or phone in a phone. Call 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. In. Common as you can imagine how that went down it was the beginning there on the tunisian ish biggest my parents werent thrilled of course. They wanted me to go to college as soon as possible to dealing become a lawyer or doctor. My family is a rainy and youre expected to try to become an engineer or doctor or something on shuffle. I spent a lot of time on my computer and of course they didnt get what i was doing on. The stand now after i graduated from high school i asked my parents to give me 6 months to prove what i was capable of only supervised and they reluctantly agreed and i ended up being very successful on. For. Around that time i came in 2nd to the World Championship the International Media international from then on my whole life changed. Him im leaving him as old as i was i say always been this way since he was a kid s. Going to get done he says im doing this is a fatone solution i dont worry because i trust him if he says hell do something he does it and if he says he wont he doesnt get his act. But his 1st of course theres areas where he had a reservations my mouth is a good dunk in all this game is a speed and. You want to 1st trip when he was 13 or 14 it was really the. Right so that 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. When noirs are hands leaving esports is still quite young off you know and when something new like this appears it draws the attention of a lot of business men and also the criminals. People try to make easy money onstott so contest and theres the simple fact that the average gamer is young a push up by owners the size in other words theyre pretty naive and lacking in Life Experience all this is an issue where i need is not hard to fool a 161718 or 19 year old boy who plays video games a lot and its really easy actually and there was so much as i say i follow her. Daughter too 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 hes the team captain just please listen to her please you just need to listen to. I dont need you guys to talk so much i cant do all the talking how i support will stay focused more dont talk so much dont be like stress i call or something on all you guys are soldiers ok your best players play dont talk and we dont talk and in 2019 he and his team unanimously decided to leave these sports Organization Team liquid and establish their own Organization CalledTeam Management i by then the 5 players had 1200000. 00 in prize money some 20000000. 00 euro. As are fires now just seen transistorized we travel 1020. 00 or 30 times a year depending on how successful we are those are in particular is very travel heavy possums and that kind of set sees falls apart in general get at even conventional z. Or to more regional on this everything is close by for these boards and otoh its more likely today were off to china next week were heading to america ok weve got a jet lag and time zones then i read. And to europe its been a while. And sometimes this goes on 2 or 3 times a month i was all it totally burns you out of wood and 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 the mix now on my own i dont 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. I think its pretty hard to say how old you can be these boards on sphere in the dark we havent got the data going to its own program im basically a 1st generation pro gamers of my country i personally think you can keep on playing when youre older washing the scintilla of 30 to 40 i can imagine as i think. Its just that like with anything really as you get older you have more stress and more stress means youre less focused on your work site and your work is to compete which means putting in as much time and energy as possible i personally think ill keep on going until the international 2021 that was my goal so another 2 years ago its not so easy what life has in store i was kind i was limiting. Being a professional gamer is a tough job involving high stakes and a lot of risk. The side of the movie that you constantly have to stress you have to win i just playing around at the top floor and cut a nice pools there is no 2nd Division Like in soca for example theres just the very best. You do it through a few years but then what do you do with your life thats the problem. Besides fantasy another pro gaming genre is sport games. Many soccer clubs now have their own esports 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 didnt mention global doesnt sport some older people may or may not think its a sport or may say its more or less physical if so few of us more physical than golf i can tell you that it isnt a fake disco so move some of this in the anything beyond thats a bit of a fit discussion slide hike and i think in 2 or 3 generations people will see things differently and be amazed. Its just like something i recently heard from scott in the back in 1910 there were 300000 horses in boston used for transport and in 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 only then when you jump forward 30 years and theres not a horse to be seen off of the fianna just cards on them. And i think the same kind of thing holds true when it comes to whether esports or sports or not it soon will be up for discussion if its more than a game. Is this sports or not what does a pro Soccer Player say we need with man a well ordered leshner who was an Austrian National player for many years. I. Think it could be 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 its competitive with this meaning at least this 1st condition is filtered and we can drop the discussion as to whether this is sports or not what this nowadays he works as an announcer for soccer matches on a big pay t. V. Station which now also broadcasts esports finals live with great technical sophistication after all an increasing number of conventional sports channels are now investing large sums in digital sports these Sports Events live on a sports channel imagine watching them alongside the feeble world cup and ski run this is 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 dont get this whole debate yeah 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 is ive had these discussions before his own and for her part. Isnt making a living off of gaming yet she plays in the east board soccer club as c. R. All top based and for all burke austria. Whether f. C. Basel shall go for or rapid vienna respectable soccer clubs are increasingly expected to have their own e sports team. Girl conti as she calls herself on social media has made a lasting name for herself in austrias top fever division the us league go. On for 3 or 4 years i used to play in a real life winning steam and fought it and i feel that ive been playing fifo for longer than ive played actual soccer and now ive switched fully to the consul and its been even more of deacons only give x. Is one of the most expensive eastport 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. Through the end as a developer he has these cups and you have to qualify for each one ecological serious point. Of view 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 players take part in the qualifying round because you have to be among the top 16 on the playstation and your chances are trivial low because there are some really good players that have a life. With really great players if you might have not good and the players cost money. You can just buy them outright. Just random collectible cards and so far its been if youre out of luck it wont have any messy old rinaldo in it but maybe some no name players from vienna or something. At the end some speed. On. It thats abuse a pill to swallow so you have to cough up a lot of money before you have a good set of players. Its the same principle as in certain conventional sports can and not everyone can be a polo player you need a horse and people to play with you a lot to deal with and im sure thats the same holds true in east thought. And there is certainly some very democratic discipline meaning anyone can try them out and play even with limited resources. Asked. When should be income why its a. Big. So everyone really every teenager has a very very powerful console in their pocket and no one touches an unseen hand thats called a cell phone or to you can almost always get started with todays games for free and for the most games you pay for cosmetic items to make you look better like some cool tennis jersey thats optional. There are no physical barriers up to an extremely high level. If you mentioned that there are a lot of people who cant walk but they can play you sports unlike any other sport women can play on a par with men want any tournaments there is no difference physically the men can talk kind into a side of a few that makes the sports much more democratic than at least half of normal sports probably even more so its a menace is 50 points under us and its one reason for each sport success i dont think one of them selfs were focused on them and thats in theory at least in practice inclusion is quite rare here as with other you Sports Events it is clear to see women are the absolute minority. As you can at my current level i actually dont know a single other woman in the german speaking community i know a brazilian woman who is about as good as i am but thats it and thats actually quite normal to me and i dont get treated differently because of that as a one time nothing special or anything thats not what i want either even if i want to stand up for my performance and not just because im a woman but of course you feel it is good for. The east for its referee eve on sheer from cross austria is also familiar with this feeling she not only works at major he sports tournaments but also plays herself. My sense is there is usually the standard reaction that is a womans because ive often been the only woman at a lot of events with a here in the area offline and people are curious if. Youve got some like if its very curious im communicative which i like and of course because that also really like to talk i was coming to be honest here but things can go right ive also had people say we want to play against this team 1st because theres a woman and thats easy response and i dont need to prove myself because im not inferior to the boys in. Anyway not in the slightest and just to prove a point ive shown it a few times thank god but theres no need really i was most thats honest means thats. Prejudice is against women still persist in the gaming scene gamer girls are often laughed at the right as gamers sluts or at worst even mom. How sexist is the east sports scene. To success is because internet i think its a sexist at the internet economy to movement who was one because theyre tough to listen we still have a bit of catching up to do throughout society in terms of treating women properly phoned in and yes its sexist he does the gaming world reflect those Just Computers for us the internet good buta phone is yes its an issue we have to actively address the highest and we have to actively foster diversity in many different areas. Of us attendance few fussiness day but this isnt a subculture where the issue is particularly prevalent is nice with dozens to a bad visit just like everywhere else in society but that doesnt make it any less of a problem the stuff this thing is i dont want to downplay it but its 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 Esports Association because slowly but surely greater awareness about the question of diversity is developing in the east ports and gaming seem. To be my student young women reach me through different channels either they talk to me because theyve seen me in some interview or i might get an email saying hey id like to go to such and such event but im not sure the people there will accept me on needles suspension to emphasize to something thats not a simple. To just talk to these young women and girls and try to encourage them and say hey go ahead and check things out in the office because men who of course they are the usual stereotypes and prejudices ive got in my share of negative messages but you just have to take the high ground but i just try to encourage people to be sort of a role model and say hey i made it so you definitely cant his songs where he was actually asked as a kid to the seashell of martial. Empowering women in the gaming scene is also girl gamer festivals proclaimed objective held for the 1st time in 27. 00 teams it is the worlds biggest sports event where exclusively women compete. However the prize money is modest and sponsors show little interest or generosity. Female pro gamers still dont receive nearly the same attention and recognition as their male counterparts. There are also separate tournaments at major sporting events where only womens teams compete with. Their mom among them is falling to the. In town we regularly hold womens tournaments and theyre quite controversial even among our own staff on the mic and im 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 and alienation of people. From nagging the globe he said with some with us treat the issue very carefully i think for me mukesh so. Its some its equal in the end we want as many women as possible to take part in the tournament type both as participants and events and viewers of the online broadcast and we dont want to actually separate them. Its also Good Business to build a broader target audience which we havent really been addressing properly and this clip of the team as 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 consequence to me 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. He doesnt its been you know its personally i dont know if you know women its because my team isnt 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 its like his without any cliches without prejudice and without adding to that just to play a song and someone. You know fish the mess and so i think thats what it maybe takes right now to fire up the women as a sports scene but i hope of course that in 5 to 10 years time we simply wont need of. The few men me go. Behind the scenes any sports however women are already taking on higher positions for instance as presenters Team Managers or in marketing.

Of course you know the name and you know roughly how they look because there are photos on but you dont really know who is this person here with me and. Then you meet the no one thing and if we have similar personalities otherwise maybe not everyone who plays this game. But whats different is were organizing household chores. But when you live with your parents youre not quite used to it. Because you have to cook for yourself wash your own clothes and generally be very independent searched i think i dont walk. The daily routine here is strict the joint training doesnt start until the early afternoon and goes on into the evening hours. Its 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. For each team has its own coach who analyzes the game every day they perfect their tactics a bit more used to. Look for spinners pretty much from computers. Living off of gaming is the most all something in the world for a young person to do this well. It was my goal to achieve that goal and i didnt start here till i made a. Dozen of them here so i wasnt getting there is incredibly difficult one thing often wasnt in the music and some other games older than me and ive been at this game for years but still havent reached their goals. On. Myself so there is so much competition.

Make developing story to our family and you might know im proud of his grandma used to always say he shouldnt play so much but now she would be proud of him to you unfortunately she wasnt 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. Monch you know many. People are really interested in his life some people think we have tons of money that he makes loads playing each month and rakes in prize money i scan the hold because many people have heard of some 1000000 dollar prize that someone got all for themselves really only. But thats never the case with this game and yet people think so anyway a lot of people say why do you worry so much about money you have so much now but toby is less now than he did before at his normal office job but hes living history and thats worth a lot yeah furia. Told me as one of those rare gamers to have managed to the 1st step after signing a 2 Year Contract with a nice Sports Organization he now has hardly any time left for his girlfriend.
