Today we are interviewing ALWAYSWANNAFLY, who answers a whole range of interesting questions. Let's go!</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p><strong>Andrii, how did you get into video games?</strong></p>\n\n<p>AWF (alwayswannafly): Well, when I was five and still lived in Yalta, I got a Dendy console as a gift. It was broken. Well, not broken exactly, it was Chinese and worked without cartridges. That was how I started playing. And after that, there was my first computer club. I was six at the time. That was where it all started.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Quite early, then?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Do you remember when you decided you wanted to pursue a pro gaming career?</strong></p>\n\n<p>There was no moment.</p>\n\n<p><strong>You were pretty young when you got your first competitive playing experience, too.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes, but I never really wanted to become a pro. Everyone just played DOTA for fun. There were lots of LAN tournaments in Kyiv. They were held in these basement computer clubs. So, we played there—everyone wanted to win.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And when did you realize that you’d made the transition from the amateur level to the pro level?</strong></p>\n\n<p>When I started getting paid in my first team. iCCup, it was called. With Resolut1on and Mag. That was when.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Can you recall the hardest match in your career? Who was it against?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The hardest matches were always against EnVy (and his team).  In 2015, we played a lot of tournaments against them. They were small, but we always played against them in the finals. Those matches against him were the hardest. EnVy was cryptonite.</p>\n\n<p><strong>That leads me to my next question, about your best teammate and best opponent. Was EnVy your toughest opponent?</strong></p>\n\n<p>No, not EnVy. There was a player called bOne7 at the time. He was the toughest offlaner back then. He was in a strong team with pieliedie, EnVy, bOne7, and I can't remember who else. They were tough. That was 2013 - 2014.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Is there a player you enjoyed playing on the same team with the most? Aside from Volodya PGG.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Volodya PGG.</p>\n\n<p><strong>See, I guessed it!</strong></p>\n\n<p>Ah, okay, there was also a player called BeaSt, but nobody knows him.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What made him so special?</strong></p>\n\n<p>He used to sing while playing, or rap.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Well, that’s fun, at least.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Before it became mainstream, before that.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Before it became mainstream. Alright. We know many athletes have rituals that they have to follow before a match, and they're generally superstitious people. What rituals do you have?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Taking a shower.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Before a game?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>That’s a useful ritual, even for everyday life.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And aside from that? Maybe you've accumulated some superstitions over all these years? </strong></p>\n\n<p>No, I can't say I have. You just need to be mentally ready for the game.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Just take some time to think?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes. Or talk to your teammates.</p>\n\n<p><strong>How do you train, how do you get ready for tournaments? What does your usual workday look like?</strong></p>\n\n<p>I play MM [matchmaking], I try not to use my mic—that's about it.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Okay. Do you spend much time working on the strategic side of the game? Maybe you watch demos before matches?</strong></p>\n\n<p>I used to watch replays, not a lot, but I'm trying to do that now. That's it, I just watch replays.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Alright. How do things like nutrition and physical fitness come into it, if at all? Do you pay attention to things like that?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, it's subjective. If you don't feel well after eating some bad food like McDonald's, it's better if you don't eat it. But, if you can eat 50 nuggets in an evening, you go ahead and eat those 50 nuggets.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Can you eat 50 nuggets in one evening?</strong></p>\n\n<p>I don't remember how many we ate yesterday, but yeah. I suppose I can.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Alright. What's your favorite thing about e-sports?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The sports side of it—</p>\n\n<p><strong>The competitions, right?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The competitions themselves, yes. And also traveling and seeing other countries. I think so.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And what's your least favorite part? What would you like to change about the profession?</strong></p>\n\n<p>A profession, huh?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Well, you are a pro gamer, aren't you?</strong></p>\n\n<p>There's no need to change anything.  I'd change MM, and the rest is okay as it is.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And what would you change about MM?</strong></p>\n\n<p>So, there was this platform called iCCup, and you could create your own lobbies there so that only players of your PTS [rating points] level could join. And if you didn't want a player in your lobby, you could kick them out and play with the players you wanted. That's what's missing now.</p>\n\n<p><strong>So even at your MMR [matchmaking rating], you find a big range in the ratings–</strong></p>\n\n<p>Players rated 1000 to 2000, yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>In your lobbies?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Of course.</p>\n\n<p><strong>How's that even possible?</strong></p>\n\n<p>It just happens. Because, well, that's the way DOTA works.</p>\n\n<p><strong>It’s never happened to me, but maybe because I'm not even a 1000-rated player. Okay.  Can you tell us about your e-sports plans for this year? Maybe you've set some goals?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, INT [The International]. There was supposed to be one last year, but there wasn't, so it's this year's INT.</p>\n\n<p><strong>You were supposed to retire after the last one, based on your promise.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, now that's after this year's INT. Probably.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What about your personal goals? Do you have any big personal goals you're striving toward in the near future?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, as I’ve said before, I want to establish a school.</p>\n\n<p><strong>It’s going to happen this year?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, not this year, exactly. When the COVID situation improves a little, then we'll start.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Right, okay. We’ll be looking forward to that. Which aspects of your gaming style would you like to improve?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Die less. And that's it.</p>\n\n<p><strong>But that's your prerogative! You're the five!</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, I'm starting to die less already. It's okay.When the others die, well—</p>\n\n<p><strong>Better if it were you, right?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Right.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What do you think—does everyone on a team need to be friends and get along for the team to be successful? Does that affect the cohesion of the team and its results?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well... Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And if they aren't?</strong></p>\n\n<p>If they aren't, it could also work. It's all subjective.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Alright. And how do you think cohesion comes about in a team? Say, a new player joins you...</strong></p>\n\n<p>Okay.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What needs to be done to integrate them into the team as quickly as possible?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Just play a lot and communicate with each other about DOTA, all the time. Dedicate all their time to DOTA.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What about just hanging out, or going on vacation together?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yeah, that could also work. You can go on vacation, but...</p>\n\n<p><strong>Before the league, just go on vacation.</strong></p>\n\n<p>No, it’s better if everyone goes on vacation on their own.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Can you tell us one surprising fact about you that your fans don't know? Bohdan has Naruto-print socks, electronic had a single sneaker stolen from his hotel room. Have you had any crazy moments at tournaments? </strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Maybe someone stole something from you, or maybe someone started a fight with someone else? Or almost started a fight? Someone took a flight to the wrong city? Also, Bohdan said that the thing that causes the most craziness in his life is you.</strong></p>\n\n<p>There was one time when we were flying back home from the INT. Our flight was delayed by 3 hours. We landed—me, Resolut1on, and Aloha. So, we arrive in Amsterdam to transfer, we run to the check-in desk, and we see our plane take off right in front of our eyes. And so, we slept in the airport—either on the couches or right on the floor, I can’t remember—for 14 hours.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Why didn't you go for a walk through Amsterdam?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Because we didn’t have visas.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ah, I see, it was back then. A pity, a pity.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Definitely a crazy moment. How has your career as a pro gamer changed you as a person? Maybe you developed some personality traits that weren't there before? What have all these years done to you, Andrii?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Oh, listen, I've become patient, you know.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Have you?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes. There are times when you don't want to be patient and you let it all out. But there are times when you need to show patience. And that’s fine, whatever it is, you can ignore it.</p>\n\n<p><strong>So it's a kind of positive change? That's awesome.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes, but that’s for life in general, not for MM.  It doesn't work that way in MM.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What path in life would you have pursued if you hadn’t become a pro gamer?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Catering.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Uh-huh. So you would've been a cashier at McDonald's like Bohdan? Those are his words, not mine. He said so himself. A part-time job.</strong></p>\n\n<p>No, I would've been his boss. I would have told him that he should be preparing the Big Macs, not eating them every day!</p>\n\n<p><strong>I see. So you stack up even here. According to you, what is the most underrated game of the past 20 years and why?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Half-Life.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And why? Why do you think it's underrated?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Because not a lot of people play it. Valve abandoned it, released some Half-Life 2 that no one needed, and gave up on the third one four years ago. And, at the end of the day, they could’ve just let the first Half-Life live on, but no.</p>\n\n<p><strong>It's a sad story, but thank you for your sincere answers, Andrii. Andrii, you've been playing DOTA for a very long time now...</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes, since '73.</p>\n\n<p><strong>...professionally, for around a decade.</strong> <strong>If you had to choose the “best” and \"worst\" moments of your career during that time, what would they be?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The best is when we won on the stage at the INT. The worst one... is when we lost in 2015, on the stage at the INT. To the Korean team. MVP Phoenix or just VP.</p>\n\n<p><strong>In one of your interviews, you mentioned that you've been on a huge number of teams.</strong></p>\n\n<p>As it turns out, yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>That’s logical, given how long you've been playing. What would you recommend to new players? It is worth switching teams often, or is it better to try and improve yourself and stay longer on the same team?</strong></p>\n\n<p>It's always a good idea to develop and improve yourself, no matter who you’re with. If you're on a team that is constantly improving and developing, and it works for you, it's better to stay there. But if you're improving while the rest of the team doesn't, then you need to switch teams.</p>\n\n<p><strong>How has the DOTA scene changed over the years?</strong></p>\n\n<p>It has become more toxic.</p>\n\n<p><strong>More toxic?</strong></p>\n\n<p>By 785%.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Why? How does that manifest itself? We're talking about the pro community as well.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Because people have no manners. They learn their manners from DOTA, from MM, from swearing, from streamers who swear very rudely.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Thank God we're not like that. In your opinion, what does your roster need to focus on, most of all?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Our roster should focus on playing as a team, most of all.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Are you seeing success in that?</strong></p>\n\n<p>We're working on it.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Awesome, awesome. Then, I wish you guys success in this tough endeavor!</strong></p>\n\n<p>Thank you, thank you very much.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Thank you for the interview, goodbye!</strong></p>\n\n<p>Goodbye!</p>\n\n<p><em>Thanks for reading our 1:1 interview!

They speak of something strange… something forged in the crucible of black magic. They speak of an unthinkably powerful force that hides in the darkness of the Shadowkin faction. They speak of the Legendary Champion, Ninja!</p>\n\n<p>Known as the Boss Slayer, this relentless Champion is based on the famous twitch gamer himself - <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_(gamer)\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Ninja</a>. Trained in the badlands of Halo 3 and Fortnite, he is bringing all his talents now to the arena of <a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>.</p>\n\n<p>So, hurry and claim this Champion for FREE by playing RAID for 7 days before October 15th… or miss out on him forever!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-famous-gamer,-ninja,-became-a-champion-in-raid\">How Famous Gamer, Ninja, Became a Champion in RAID</h2>\n\n<p>Not everyone has a fun alter ego but not everyone is our friendly neighbourhood gamer, Ninja, either. While you may think you know Ninja, his truth goes far beyond the ordinary. There’s much more to this young man than his twitch gamer persona suggests because, as you’ll see, the legend of Ninja goes way back.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ObV8PWEtzFs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>It all began when a Shadowkin swordsman happened upon an abandoned baby in the reeds of a river near his village. The warrior should have taken the boy’s life for he had the markings of the Banner Lords but no blade saw blood that day.</p>\n\n<p>Why was it so? We shall never know. Instead of taking the child’s life, the Shadowkin swordsman took the boy under his care. Hidden away from the Demonspawn by villagers, he was a blank canvas onto which the lessons of the Shadowkin came to be imprinted. </p>\n\n<p>As he grew, he mastered the ways of the blade and bow, but that was just the start of his journey. He soon learned the secrets of dark sorcery and the ways of the Shadowkin till a time came when no foe could withstand his powers. </p>\n\n<p>That was the time when he rose in the great liberation war of the Shadowkin. In that epic battle, he came to be known as the Boss Slayer. When the Shadowkin emerged victorious as a free people once again, only then did they give the boy a name befitting a Legendary Champion - Ninja.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Legendary Ninja Gamer is now a Legendary Champion in RAID: Shadow Legends\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2021/july/ninja/raid_ninja.jpg\" style=\"width: 700px; height: 400px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"skills-of-ninja-gamers-should-watch-out-for\">Skills of Ninja Gamers Should Watch Out For</h2>\n\n<p>For any RAID gamer, Ninja is the perfect Champion to lead a team. He isn’t called the Boss Slayer for nothing!</p>\n\n<p>His mastery of the dark arts combined with his sword wielding and archery skills makes him a formidable Champion. Ninja has 4 skills, including a very unique Passive Skill. In addition, each of his Skills improve when fighting Bosses. </p>\n\n<p>His default Shatterbolt Skill releases an arrow to break through the enemy’s defense. It can also fill Ninja’s Turn Meter by 15% when fighting against Bosses.</p>\n\n<p>His Hailburn Skill strikes 3 times at random with burning hail before letting him disappear under an invisible veil. This Skill can place an HP Burn debuff for 3 turns and can instantly activate all the HP Burn debuffs at once when hitting a Boss. This makes Ninja one of the best Champions to take down the dreaded Frost Spider, Sorath, in the Doom Tower.</p>\n\n<p>Then, his Cyan Slash Skill can freeze all enemies with a lethal swipe. When this is used against a Boss, Ninja will ignore half of the Boss’s defense and it will also decrease the cooldown of the Hailburn Skill by 1 turn. </p>\n\n<p>Finally, we come to Ninja’s passive that all gamers are looking forward to - Escalation. This can dramatically increase his Attack and Critical Damage if he uses all his active Skills in a Round, making him a formidable finisher.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, since it’s RAID: Shadow Legends, you can improve Ninja further by figuring out his recommended artifacts and masteries. We’ll leave that for you to experiment with and explore. If you’re not sure how to make the most of Ninja, though, or how best to use his Skills, help is at hand: Ninja himself will be streaming his RAID gameplay on <a href=\"https://www.twitch.tv/ninja\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitch</a>. He’ll be sharing his strategies and tactics with all his viewers so look out for that!</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"get-iconic-twitch-gamer-ninja's-raid-champion-for-free\">Get Iconic Twitch Gamer Ninja's RAID Champion For Free</h2>\n\n<p>As we mentioned, the Ninja Legendary Champion is available to all players of RAID until mid-October. You just need to play the game for 7 days before 09:00 UTC on October 15th, and he’s yours forever! </p>\n\n<p>So, all that’s left is for you to jump into RAID: Shadow Legends. Stay active in the game for seven days, add Ninja to your collection, and write a new chapter in this Champion’s story! </p>\n","date":"7/29/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ninja-gamer-in-raid.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13362"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gaming-platforms/"},"strings":{"title":"Modern Gaming Platforms: How the Market Has Evolved and Who is Leading the Way","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"540000","description":"<p>Gaming is bigger and better than it’s ever been. Today, there are more players, more games, and, importantly, more platforms than ever. In fact, the industry has evolved so much over the last two decades that the term “gaming platform” no longer means only one thing.</p>\n\n<p>Alongside gaming platforms that you play on, there are also gaming platforms where streams are broadcast. This guide will take a look at the evolution of gaming platforms and how the market has become so much more diverse than it used to be.  </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"active-gaming-platforms\">Active Gaming Platforms</h2>\n\n<p>There are five major players when it comes to gaming platforms. Although there are brands and platforms outside of this so-called \"big five\", the following ones are those currently dominating the market:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"pc-gaming-platforms\">PC Gaming Platforms</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC gaming</a> has long been the reserve of hardcore players. Dell, HP, and Sony have all been in the game for decades. However, what’s most interesting about the PC as a gaming platform is its technological innovations. Companies like Razor and Alienware have found ways to make games more engaging and immersive.</p>\n\n<p>Products such as <a href=\"https://www.dell.com/en-uk/gaming/alienware-laptops\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Alienware gaming laptops</a> now feature all manner of high-quality features. From 11th generation Intel Core processors that clock speeds of 4.9GHz, to cutting-edge Cryo-Tech cooling technology, these devices can run highly complex gaming environments and never miss a beat. In fact, it’s this ability to offer high-powered technology that’s kept PCs relevant in today’s market.</p>\n\n<p>In a world where gaming platforms like the PlayStation are selling 100 million+ units, PC companies like Alienware need a USP. That USP is <em><strong>power</strong></em>. Hardcore gamers want lightning-fast refresh rates and hardware that doesn’t overheat. Indeed, it’s no coincidence that eSports professionals use gaming PCs like the Hyper Liquid Ryzen X.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mobile-gaming-platforms\">Mobile Gaming Platforms</h3>\n\n<p>From <a href=\"/en/games/os/ios-games/\">iOS</a> to <a href=\"/en/games/os/android-games/\">Android</a>, the market for <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile games</a> have exploded over the last decade. <a href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/536433/mobile-games-revenue-worldwide/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20source%2C%20global,mobile%20gaming%20industry%20as%20well.\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">According to Statista</a>, global mobile gaming revenue will top $102 billion by 2023. That’s an increase of almost $30 billion on the market’s value in 2020.</p>\n\n<p>This surge in mobile gaming platforms is driven, primarily, by smartphones and casual gamers. Although apps have become more sophisticated in recent years, mobile games are a far cry from the average PC title. By observing some recent statistics, it's fair to say that casual gamers are driving the modern gaming market.</p>\n\n<p>Firstly, more than 60% of all smartphone apps are games. Secondly, there are over 3.8 billion smartphone users in the world. Finally, there were <a href=\"https://www.blog.udonis.co/mobile-marketing/mobile-games/mobile-gaming-statistics\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">80 billion game downloads in 2020</a> and, according to data from <a href=\"https://newzoo.com/insights/articles/games-market-engagement-revenues-trends-2020-2023-gaming-report/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Newzoo</a>, 2.5 billion people play on mobile. These statistics suggest that mobile gaming is a mainstream activity.</p>\n\n<p>What’s interesting is that smartphones aren’t a gateway to other gaming platforms. Instead, they’ve become a gaming platform in their own right. People aren’t always trying games on their mobile then “getting serious” and switching to a console or PC. This is why many of the leading brands haven’t ventured too far into the mobile business. Smartphone developers are sticking to their side of the industry, console and PC developers are sticking to theirs.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"playstation-gaming-platforms\">PlayStation Gaming Platforms</h3>\n\n<p>This platform all started with the original <a href=\"https://www.playstation.com/en-us/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">PlayStation</a>. The brainchild of Sony executive Ken Kutaragi, PlayStation’s first console was born out of a joint venture between Nintendo and Sony. The two companies collaborated in 1988 to create a CD-ROM for the Super Famicom. This inspired Kutaragi to put forward the idea of a standalone product that used CDs instead of cartridges.</p>\n\n<p>That idea evolved into the PlayStation, which has gone on to become one of the best-selling gaming platforms ever. The first console sold 100 million units. That was quickly surpassed by the PlayStation 2, which became the most popular gaming console of all time when it sold <a href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/1101876/unit-sales-playstation-2-region/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>over</strong> <strong>155 million units</strong></a>. Now in its fifth incarnation, PlayStation continues to push the boundaries.</p>\n\n<p>Released in 2020, the PlayStation 5 comes in two formats: the digital and traditional gaming console. A new 825GB SSD makes the PlayStation 5 two orders of magnitude faster than the PlayStation 4.</p>\n\n<p>In practical terms, it can load 2GB of content in a quarter of a second. The system can run 4K/120 and support 8K/60. It also has upgraded controller haptics that vary based on the in-game dynamics. Basically, PlayStation 5 is one of the best gaming consoles in the world, which is why it’s so in demand. </p>\n\n<h3 id=\"microsoft's-xbox-gaming-platform\">Microsoft's Xbox Gaming Platform</h3>\n\n<p>Microsoft was a relative latecomer to the gaming platform arena but it quickly made up for lost time. Xbox may not be as much of a hit as PlayStation but it’s still one of the world’s leading consoles. The first Xbox was released in 2001 and sold over 24 million units. The Xbox 360 followed in 2005 and, as of 2014, it had sold more than 84 million units.</p>\n\n<p>Today, the Xbox is a ninth-generation console. The Series X and Series S were both released in 2020 and cater to both ends of the market. The Xbox Series S is a lower-cost alternative to the Xbox Series X. The main differences are speed, storage, and visuals.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Series S has a 3.6 GHz custom AMD Zen 2 eight-core CPU processor. The Series X has a 3.8 GHz custom AMD Zen 2 eight-core CPU.</li>\n\t<li>The Series S has 10 GB of GDDR6 RAM and 1440p graphics. The Series X has 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM and 8K graphics.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>These differences are reflected in the price ($299.99 vs. $499.99). However, they’re also a reflection of the market. The forecasts suggest there will be 3 billion gamers by 2023. Not all of these will be hardcore players. Microsoft has attempted to cover both ends of the market with the S and X, a strategy it's likely to continue as the industry grows.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"nintendo-gaming-platforms\">Nintendo Gaming Platforms</h3>\n\n<p>Nintendo has always been a major name in the industry. Its first gaming platforms, namely the NES and Super Nintendo, ushered in a revolution. Indeed, for many, it was these consoles that made video games mainstream and created a multi-billion-dollar industry. What’s interesting about Nintendo is its shift over time. From one of the main consoles for serious gamers, it’s now favored by novices and casuals.</p>\n\n<p>According to research from <a href=\"https://www.limelight.com/resources/white-paper/state-of-online-gaming-2019/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Limelight Networks</a>, 56.6% of people surveyed would describe themselves as “casual” gamers. A further 22.2% categorize themselves as novices. Nintendo has played to these demographics in recent years with its gaming platforms. The Nintendo Wii is the most obvious example. It clearly wasn’t aimed at hardcore gamers when it was released in 2006.</p>\n\n<p>The cartoonish nature of its games and the fact controlling characters was based on whole-body movements instead of finger taps was a sign that it was designed for light-hearted fun. This strategy of moving with the times has continued ever since.</p>\n\n<p>The Nintendo Switch, released in 2017, covers two console markets with a single gaming platform. Whether it successfully bridged the gap between consoles and mobiles is up for debate. However, it showed that mobile gaming was now being taken seriously by the major developers.</p>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Gaming platforms keep improving and diversifying over time\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_17/Illustration_800x500_01.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 500px;\" /></h2>\n\n<h2 id=\"streaming-gaming-platforms\">Streaming Gaming Platforms</h2>\n\n<p>As well as active gaming platforms, there are plenty of ways to enjoy video games in a passive way. The market for streaming has grown immensely over the last decade. Although it’s hard to get accurate data, there’s an estimated <strong>9.3 million active streamers</strong> on Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, this doesn’t include other gaming streaming platforms like YouTube. However, it gives you an idea of just how popular passive gaming entertainment has become.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"twitch\">Twitch</h3>\n\n<p>Born out of Justin.TV, which went live in 2007, Twitch is now established as the leading gaming platform for live streams. The recent rate of growth has been significant. In 2019, there have been <a href=\"https://twitchtracker.com/statistics\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">660 billion minutes</a> of watched content on Twitch. In the first half of 2021, there were 785 billion minutes. That’s a staggering amount of growth and a testament to the popularity of streaming.</p>\n\n<p>In short, gaming is no longer a purely active pastime. Watching people play and commentate on games is just as popular. That’s a marked shift and one that’s bound to shape gaming platforms of the future. With more people wanting to broadcast and/or watch content, the big brands will have to find ways to make this possible directly via their products.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"youtube\">YouTube</h3>\n\n<p>YouTube isn’t strictly a gaming platform, but it’s become a hotbed of streaming activity. In fact, you’ll see that many of today’s top stars have millions of followers. The beauty of YouTube gaming streams is that anything goes. There’s a slightly more laid-back vibe than Twitch which, for the most part, evolved from the hardcore side of the industry.</p>\n\n<p>In this sense, YouTube gaming is more accessible to the masses. Again, this fits with the industry’s recent evolution. Although gaming was built on those with a serious passion for playing, the modern market is filled with casuals. These casuals are more likely to watch streams on YouTube than Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>While some may see this as the erosion of the industry’s fundamentals, it’s made gaming the mega-industry it is today.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"vaughnlive\">VaughnLive</h3>\n\n<p>VaughnLive started in 2011 but didn’t allow gaming content. To address this, Vaughn created InstaGib TV as a side hustle. That gaming platform became a popular alternative to Twitch and YouTube.</p>\n\n<p>However, according to Vaughn, it “never got the attention it deserved” from its developers. As such, InstaGib was absorbed into VaughnLive in 2021.</p>\n\n<p>Today, people can watch gaming alongside streams dedicated to vaping, nature, music, and more. In fact, with InstaGib TV now merged into VaughnLive, the developers have been able to focus on building a mobile app. The beta version went live in 2021 which means this gaming platform should be much more accessible to fans of streaming in the coming years.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"gaming-platforms-for-everyone\">Gaming Platforms for Everyone</h3>\n\n<p>The lesson to take from all of this is that gaming is not only more popular and accessible than ever, but that it’s for everyone. Whatever background you come from, whatever your preferences, there’s a gaming platform to suit.</p>\n\n<p>From the <a href=\"/en/games/genre/casual-games/\">casual end</a> of the market to hardcore gamers and those that just want to watch, no one is left behind. That’s gaming in 2021 and that’s how it’s likely to be for a long time to come.</p>\n","date":"7/22/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gaming-platforms.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13361"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/youtube-gamers-to-know/"},"strings":{"title":"YouTube Gamers You Need to Watch: Legends, Established Stars, and Rising Talent","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Gaming never stands still.

Their content fuses sketch comedy with gaming and there are no boundaries. Indeed, unlike other YouTube gamers that focus on a single game or genre, anything goes on FGTeeV. From Xbox and Android games to Wii U and PlayStation products, this is the gaming YouTube channel to watch if you want fun and variety.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"flamingo\">Flamingo</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/flamingo\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Flamingo</a>, aka Albert, got started in 2017 and, today, he has more than 9.3 million subscribers. As you’d expect, gaming is the central focus of the channel and this guy loves all types of games. However, his main passion is Roblox games. What’s neat about Flamingo is that he covers all aspects of Roblox games.</p>\n\n<p>From new features such as voice commands to strategy and the backstory of the genre, he provides a fantastic entry point for viewers that have never encountered Roblox. Moreover, he likes to turn the camera back on himself and describe what it’s like to have one of the best YouTube gaming channels online. This often makes for some candid and inspiring content.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"robin-hood-gamer\">Robin Hood Gamer</h3>\n\n<p>Gaming is a universal language and <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/RobinHoodGamer1\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Robin Hood Gamer</a> is a case in point. The Brazilian YouTuber has over 16 million followers and his Minecraft videos regularly surpass 1 million views within a few weeks of being released. That’s impressive but not unheard of, but - Robin Hood Gamer publishes the majority of his content in Portuguese. Therefore, if you don’t speak that language, you might not understand everything he’s saying.</p>\n\n<p>So, firstly, the fact he can build up such a fanbase in Portuguese is a testament to the gaming community’s breadth and depth. A lot of people tend to forget that YouTube gamers and the industry, in general, don’t always speak English. Secondly, it shows that people will tune in even if they don’t understand what’s being said. Robin Hood Gamer is extremely animated when he plays, making it all the more captivating. Combine this with great Minecraft action and it doesn’t matter if you speak Portuguese or not.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"itsfunnneh\">ItsFunnneh</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/ItsFunneh/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">ItsFunnneh</a> is another Roblox YouTube gamer who, like FGTeeV, likes to make things a family affair. She puts out a ton of varied content individually and with members of her family (known as <strong>the Krew</strong>). As well as Roblox, this Canadian streamer likes to play Minecraft.</p>\n\n<p>What’s neat about this channel is that it has interactive fan-based content and even hosts fun things like quizzes (about games, of course).</p>\n\n<p>This combination of light-hearted entertainment and serious gaming has won ItsFunnneh the affections of the YouTube gaming community. In fact, it’s won her and the Krew the affections of almost 8 million subscribers. That’s not only helped them become some of the top YouTube gamers in the world but it’s also allowed her to release her own mobile game: Eat with Krew!</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"lazarbeam\">LazarBeam</h3>\n\n<p>From down under to on top of the YouTube gaming world, Australia’s <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/LazarBeam/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">LazarBeam</a> is one of the industry’s best. He likes to play a variety of games, including GTA, Fortnite, and Minecraft. His irreverent style is indicative of Aussie humor. Regardless, don’t discredit this guy’s gaming skills. He’s not become one of the best YouTube gamers by luck alone, and has the skills to back it up.</p>\n\n<p>You can see just how good he is in his live replays and strategy breakdowns. However, that’s not the end of LazarBeam’s talents. He loves creating memes and funny skits. Basically, he loves to have fun and make his channel as interesting as possible. This is a winning formula that’s earned him <em>more than 18.9 million subscribers</em>.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"gamers,-youtube-&-a-peak-to-the-future\">Gamers, YouTube & a Peak to the Future</h3>\n\n<p>And there you have it.

But for a lot of us on the RAID: Shadow Legends team, the dream became a reality this week as we announced our collaboration with one of the largest Esports organizations in the world, Natus Vincere (NAVI), for their entire 2021 Esports tournament run.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Plarium and NAVI are kindred spirits in a way, as the two of us were established in the same year (2009), and NAVI is based right here in Ukraine where the RAID studio is located. NAVI is one of the most successful gaming organizations in history with teams in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, DOTA 2, Rainbow Six Siege, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds, Apex Legends, and Fortnite. In just a little more than a decade, they’ve won 241 trophies across global Esports competitions and were the most viewed club in the world last year with 23M total viewing hours across YouTube and Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>We couldn’t be more thrilled to have them represent RAID during 2021. Here are some of the things you can look forward to from our partnership this year.</p>\n\n<h2>NAVI is Rolling With RAID this Tournament Season</h2>\n\n<p>Some of the world’s greatest gamers in history have donned NAVI’s iconic jersey colors, and now Raid: Shadow Legends will be prominently featured on those same jerseys as we support them in the coming tournament circuits. Beyond that, be on the lookout for exciting crossover initiatives between NAVI and RAID and don’t forget to click check their <a href=\"https://navi.gg/\" rel=\"nofollow\">official website</a> to follow their NAVI matches, tournament dates, and upcoming streams.</p>\n\n<h2>NAVI Invades RAID: Shadow Legends</h2>\n\n<p>Most of Plarium’s loyal fan base is conditioned to see invasion as a bad thing, but in this case, we bet you’ll welcome it.

What about restoring your once beautiful mansion to its former glory?</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/games/genre/casual-games/\">Casual games</a> have evolved beyond the simple gratification of matching 3 brightly colored fruits together or popping a series of glowing spheres. Most of them have started giving players something more; something that's usually much more satisfying than the core gameplay.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>If you've spent any time reading about video games whatsoever, then you may have come across the term <strong>meta-game </strong>before.</p>\n\n<p>The video gaming community defines meta-game as <strong>anything that does not consist of the core gameplay mechanic or does not make up the bulk of a game's gameplay experience.</strong></p>\n\n<h2>What Are a Meta-Game's Characteristics?</h2>\n\n<p>Meta-game can be additional gameplay content or just content that, while not necessarily a gameplay feature, still enhances a player's involvement with that game.</p>\n\n<p>For example — a game may offer <a href=\"/en/blog/city-building-games/\">city management</a> and planning as its main gameplay element. But on top of that, the game may also challenge you to solve specific objectives for your city's inhabitants, including a story that tells you more about these citizens and their day to day lives.</p>\n\n<p>A game may also be an endless runner that lets you collect coins and power-ups along the way, but it may also feature a side gameplay element of customizing your character or upgrading their skills and abilities. </p>\n\n<p>Meta-game style gameplay and features help to keep us entertained and add to our enjoyment of a game - and it's partly why we spend over <a href=\"http://www.vertoanalytics.com/consumers-spend-1-billion-hours-month-playing-mobile-games/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">one billion hours a month playing mobile games</a>. But how important are meta-game mechanics to our overall experience of games?</p>\n\n<h2>What Sort of Games Include Meta-Game Mechanics?</h2>\n\n<p>The idea of meta-game mechanics and features has been around for quite some time, but one of the earliest casual games to properly utilize them is the 2003 release Diner Dash.</p>\n\n<p>In Diner Dash, players help a young woman named Flo manage various restaurants, turning them from rundown greasy spoons to respected eateries that you can be proud of.</p>\n\n<p>Diner Dash's core mechanic involves seating customers (according to their color codes), taking their orders, delivering those orders, and cleaning up after them to make money. It’s fast-paced and frantic, and players need to be constantly aware of a lot of different elements.</p>\n\n<h2>Upgrading & Improving the Game</h2>\n\n<p>However, players can also use collectible coins to improve their restaurants, including making Flo move quicker, offering a TV to keep diners entertained (and less likely to leave), and other, beneficial decor improvements. These upgrades could be considered a meta-game element, especially those who are mainly cosmetic.</p>\n\n<p>This sort of “upgraded gameplay” can also be seen in other games within the Diner Dash universe and in those that co-opted the restaurant/food management style that was popularized by it.</p>\n\n<p>For example, Cake Mania sees the player design cakes, and you can upgrade your appliances to make them bake quicker, ice faster, etc. Then, in Cooking Dash, Diner Dash's Flo takes part in a televised cooking show, and she can upgrade her fryers and the quality of the food materials she uses to make more money.</p>\n\n<p>Other common meta-game mechanics include renovation gameplay and story content. Bubble Witch 3 Saga, Lost Island, and Gardenscapes are just a handful of games that offer this.</p>\n\n<h2>Why Meta-Game is Important</h2>\n\n<p>Mobile gaming is an incredibly crowded space, and it is estimated that <a href=\"https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/267645/Over_500_games_now_submitted_to_iOS_App_Store_every_day.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">over 500 games are submitted to the App Store every day</a>. What this means is that there is a huge amount of competition and that mobile game developers must work much harder to stand out.</p>\n\n<p>Interesting meta-game mechanics are one such solution to that problem.</p>\n\n<p>A match 3 game with renovation mechanics and business management is far more interesting than a basic match 3 that offers nothing else. This additional meta-content includes captivating stories and engaging gameplay that you won't be able to get anywhere else in one, fun, combined package.</p>\n\n<p>Not only does meta-gaming give you more of an incentive to play a specific game, but it also provides you with less of an incentive to play other titles. Why play another game when the ones you've already got are able to scratch that itch?</p>\n\n<h2>The Future of Meta Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>As ever, it will be important for game developers to make sure that the core gameplay mechanics (e.g. match 3, puzzle, strategy and logic) are worth your while. As competition in the casual and mobile games industry especially continues to heat up, expect to see more of an emphasis on meta-gaming mechanics moving forward.</p>\n\n<p>This is no bad thing as you'll be getting more bang for your buck - or, if it's free to play, you'll be making the most of your time.</p>\n\n<p>With all of these rich stories and this greater variety of gameplay, you'll soon become more invested in your favorite titles than ever.</p>\n","date":"11/18/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/casual/blog/illustrations/family-zoo.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13355"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/the-rise-in-popularity-of-retro-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Retrogaming’s Growth: The Enduring Popularity of Classic Games and Characters","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Gaming may be in the most advanced stage in its history, but many people remain keen to play the old school games that kick-started it all.</p>\n\n<p>Retrogaming has become big business in recent years, with old games being ported to newer consoles, classic devices getting a re-release and social settings bringing back features of the classic arcades of old.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>The rise of retro gaming has also brought about a more modern style of game that incorporates classic elements – and all signs point to the future of gaming paying homage to the past.</p>\n\n<p>This piece examines some of the key questions around the retrogaming trend, including what is considered retro gaming and just why is retro gaming so popular?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"false\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"292\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https://www.facebook.com/85654423469/photos/a.10150648561633470/10153350798573470/?type=3&width=500\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" width=\"500\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>What is Retrogaming?</h2>\n\n<p>Retrogaming might have captured the imagination in a big way in recent years, but the term is apparently nothing new.</p>\n\n<p>Several websites including Fandom.com claim that the words were combined for the first time by Robert Frasure of RetroGames, which was established in the late 1990s.</p>\n\n<p>As you might expect, the company apparently dealt with classic games systems.</p>\n\n<h3>What is Considered Retro Gaming?</h3>\n\n<p>Well, a lot of people would consider retro to be simply something that is old. Retrogaming in its most basic definition refers to the first major games, which were on huge arcade machines.</p>\n\n<p>Some of the most notable offerings were <strong>Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Asteroids</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>However, back then, gaming was making exciting leaps forward year after year, with retrogaming <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC titles</a> like Dragon Warrior and Wasteland following.</p>\n\n<p>Then came the retrogaming classics for consoles that everyone remembers, including <strong>Sonic the Hedgehog </strong>and <strong>Super Mario Bros.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Of course, your own answer to the question of what is considered retro gaming will depend on when you were born.</p>\n\n<p>It normally relates to the games that were around during your childhood - including elements of technology that have long been surpassed by innovations - and that, in a way, links into the issue of why retro gaming is so popular. </p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, it revolves around titles that stir up feelings of nostalgia within you now. </p>\n\n<p>Just imagine, in another 30 years’ time, big-selling franchises like Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed could well be retrogaming classics.</p>\n\n<h2>The Rise of Retrogaming</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/eI4hsOTQZME\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n  \n\n<p>As you now have some idea of the answer to \"why is retro gaming so popular?\", it is time to consider how it has grown.</p>\n\n<p>Some gamers may have used emulators to get a taste of retrogaming in the past. On a basic level, this software allows you to simulate another system on devices like PCs, with this opening up possibilities for you to play old-school games from years gone by.</p>\n\n<p>However, in more recent years, many people may have replied to the question of \"what is considered retro gaming?\" by referencing the trend of companies making new versions of old machines.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Classic Games in Modern Environments</h2>\n\n<p>The sales of the NES Classic Edition show just how hungry the gaming population is for old-school games.</p>\n\n<p>Between November 2016 and April 2017, Nintendo made 2.3 million models of the console that emulated its landmark 1983 device. The units sold out rapidly, which led the Japanese developer to bring out the Super NES Classic Edition later in 2017.</p>\n\n<h3>A Blast from the Past</h3>\n\n<p>Other developers have gone on to make similar retrogaming-themed moves. For instance, Sega’s Mega Drive Mini featured around 40 classic titles from the console’s heyday, as well as two three-button control pads.</p>\n\n<p>However, another answer to why retro games are so popular, could be the fact it has become a real social activity in recent times. The increase in the number of gaming bars across the US has helped retrogaming really come to the fore.</p>\n\n<p>Retrogaming bars are in fashion, as they provide drinkers with the opportunity to bond and connect over old-school video games and console classics. The fact that the games provide players with feelings of nostalgia helps add to their appeal.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/i_OjztdQ8iw\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>A New Style of Retrogaming</h2>\n\n<p>When you are thinking about what is considered retro gaming, it is worth touching upon how the notion might apply to modern titles that embrace elements of gaming’s history.</p>\n\n<p>Pokémon Go is a prime example of this, and it remains one of the biggest mobile games available right now. But why is retro gaming so popular in this form?</p>\n\n<p>Well, Niantic’s state-of-the-art game makes use of a fresh innovation like augmented reality technology, but then combines it with the collectible monster characters initially introduced in the original Pokémon games for the Nintendo Game Boy.</p>\n\n<p>The title might have been released back in 2016, but it remains hugely popular. At the end of 2020, figures from Sensor Tower suggested that it had generated $1 billion in the first ten months of that year alone.</p>\n\n<p>It was also thought to have reached more than $4 billion in player spending worldwide, with its biggest markets being the US, Japan and Germany.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/gmwbHdJLadE\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>What is the Future Looking Like for Retro Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p>The chances are that gaming experts will be answering the question \"Why is retro gaming so popular?\" for many years to come. This is because games that use retro ideas, themes and gameplay have proven to be a sure-fire way to bring in players.</p>\n\n<p>Pokemon Go is clearly an example of that, so do not be surprised if developers look to replicate that game’s success.</p>\n\n<h3>Nostalgic Times to Come</h3>\n\n<p>In fact, many classic names from gaming’s past have been making a comeback in recent years, with new titles based on the likes of Pac-Man, Tetris and Crash Bandicoot emerging.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, as the definition of a retro video game changes as time moves forward, retro games are likely to stay at the forefront of mainstream gaming for many years to come.</p>\n\n<p>For example, considering current trends, who would bet against the release of new versions of consoles like the original Xbox?</p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, gaming might always be moving forward, but it clearly has one big eye on the past these days.  </p>\n","date":"11/18/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/5_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13353"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mxr-plays-henry-and-jeannie/"},"strings":{"title":"Henry and Jeannie from MxR Plays on Navigating YouTube Stardom as a Couple","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<meta charset=\"utf-8\" />\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Everyone<a href=\"http://company.plarium.com/\"> working at Plarium</a> was buzzing with excitement when news broke that YouTube stars <strong>Henry and Jeannie from MxR Plays</strong> were heading over to visit us in the Ukraine. However, the pair did let slip on their arrival that it was not just their desire to meet the team behind<a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\"> Raid: Shadow Legends</a> that made them head to the country alongside a host of other leading YouTube stars and influencers, <a href=\"/en/blog/youtuber-mmg-of-the-channel-mmg/\">including MMG</a>.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Putting his cards on the table at the first opportunity, Henry explained candidly: <cite>\"I wanted to jump out of a plane.\"</cite> He then added how he remained surprised that Jeannie had actually chosen to join him for the adrenaline-fueled activity.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: <cite>\"I showed her the packet of all the details you guys put together of what we were going to do. I’m like, Jeannie look at this, there’s a cool tavern thing where everyone is going to dress up. There’s no danger in that – that's fun. So, I think she saw that, and then she was convinced, like, maybe it might be worth it.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jeannie, however, remembers it differently. <cite>\"Yeah, no, surprisingly the sky diving thing was the one you opened up with,\"</cite> she outlined, before adding: <cite>\"but I was like, okay, you convinced me.\"</cite></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">MxR Plays' Great Chemistry</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The playful teasing and conversations between Henry and Jeannie are undoubtedly part of what makes the couple’s chemistry on the <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/MxRPlays/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">MxR Plays channel</a> work so well. Their presence on YouTube has taken on several forms through the years, but throughout it has always remained very successful. In fact, at the time of writing, the channel has attracted more than 900,000 subscribers, while some videos have achieved over a million views.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the MxR Plays channel was initially based around mods for Skyrim and Fallout, the pair decided to change things up and, in their words, <cite>\"tried everything\"</cite>. This included vlogging about events in their own lives, trying to cook food from video games like Skyrim in the real world, and doing box openings of various different items.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">These days, the channel is generally based around reacting to some of the stranger, darker memes and images that have found their way onto the world wide web. But while they have been through a range of different styles of content during their time together, how did MxR Plays actually get started?</p>\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/JFezh-jCthQ\" width=\"560\"></iframe>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Going Back to the Beginning of MxR Plays</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In their words, the couple’s <cite>\"pretty long story\"</cite> together begins back in 2011 when Henry created MxR Mods. A few years later, around 2014, a Skyrim mod called Recorder went on to catch his eye and left him intrigued. It subsequently emerged that the mod in question had been created by Jeannie.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>\"I saw her mod, and I was really fascinated. I thought her voice acting was really good. And she's one of the best followers I've ever trialed.\"</cite> he recalled. After that initial moment when their worlds collided, the pair’s relationship started to develop when Henry went on to undertake a Q&A with Jeannie on Snapchat. Finally, things went to a whole new level when Henry confirmed that he was heading to Los Angeles and wanted some advice about the city.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: <cite>\"I asked who wants to show me around LA, because I just moved to LA. She was the first one to email me. And then we just shot a vlog, and then after that…\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>\"It hit off!\"</cite> Jeannie added.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Henry finished his thought: <cite>\"Then I asked her on a date.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the pair, of course, have a long background in the world of video gaming, which is linked to Skyrim and Fallout, one of the more surprising revelations to emerge during our chat is that – bar Raid: Shadow Legends – they don’t tend to get much time to enjoy the <a href=\"/en/games/category/new-games/\">latest titles</a> these days.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>\"Only thing we don’t really do anymore is play, that’s for sure,\"</cite> explained Henry. <cite>\"unless it’s Raid: Shadow Legends.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jeannie added: <cite>\"We don’t play – even though our name is MxR Plays.\"</cite></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Time for Raid to go Disney?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking of Raid: Shadow Legends, during the course of our interview the couple had a few thoughts on some intriguing additions that could be made to the game via an unrelated conversation on Disney princesses.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The interaction began with us mentioning the popularity of their Disney-related videos which, in some cases, have generated <strong>more than a million views</strong>. One notable one sees their pair react to and dissect images that have been created on the premise of; what would happen if Disney princesses were 50 percent more realistic. Our question was simple – <strong>if you were a Disney princess who would you be and why?</strong></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While Jeannie was immediately excited by the question, Henry’s general lack of knowledge of the area came to the fore. He said: <cite>\"Probably, probably, Little Mermaid. Is she a princess?\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>\"Yes, she is a princess of the sea.\"</cite> Jeannie added, helpfully.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Henry explained: <em>\"I want to go to Atlantis, and I can’t really swim in real life, so if I could be a little mermaid, I think literally I wouldn’t have any trouble with that.\"</em></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the flipside, Jeannie opted for the lead character from Beauty and the Beast, explaining: <cite>\"I feel like if there’s a Disney princess that most represents me, it’s Belle, because she reads books all the time and she's all about knowledge.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Asked which of the princesses they would add to Raid, Henry was quick to answer with <cite>\"the one with the dwarves.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He then added: <cite>\"Snow White, because she can then command all the dwarfs to do her bidding. Can you imagine that? You can literally summon like seven dwarves to kick everyone’s ass. Those bosses with their three sidekicks don't stand a chance against seven dwarves.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The logic of the answer clearly took Jeannie back ever so slightly, as she added: <cite>\"Oh, that’s actually pretty smart.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img alt=\" Henry and Jeannie of MxR Plays\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/6.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Making Time for Each Other</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As we have already touched upon, one element that certainly makes Jeannie and Henry’s YouTube channel more intriguing is the fact that they are an actual item in real life. During our chat together, this, of course, begged the question – after spending hours filming their video content for the channel, do they actually find the time to do normal couple stuff and have time together away from the camera?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jeannie explained that, in the past, it was all about making the most of short periods together, explaining: <cite>\"We would only see each other for the weekend, like only twice a week, but during those two times… actually, I would only film with him for maybe four hours or so, and then the rest of the day we spend like making dinner, going out, exploring.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Henry added that the fact that they now live together has changed the dynamic: <cite>\"She recently moved in though, so now we have all the time in the world, but prior… yeah, it was pretty tough. But we got through it. I think it's because we also enjoy our recording times. We just try and make time for us. That’s important.\"</cite></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Words of Advice from MxR Plays</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Following that question, it also seemed like there was only one way to round off our interview in general. With YouTube proving to be such a popular platform and so many young people, in particular, looking to get into the world of content creation, what advice do Henry and Jeannie have for those who are seriously <a href=\"/en/blog/become-a-streamer/\">looking to get started</a> within that world?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Fun seems to be a vital component, as Henry was very quick off the mark to state that a key aspect of making videos is to not try and take it too seriously. He built on that comment by reflecting on his own outlook in the past, adding: <cite>\"I used to do this in the beginning, I would sometimes criticize Jeannie, like, oh maybe you should try and say it this way, or try and be more like this.</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>\"But I realized, like, just relax. Just enjoy your time. Just have fun. Don't get too technical. Don’t be too serious, because if there’s any kind of bad vibe in there, it really shows in the video, and then it just ruins the whole thing. So it’s like... just don’t think about it.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jeannie offers up a shorter and more philosophical response, adding simply: <cite>\"Be very organic.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Considering the huge success that these two have been able to enjoy by simply being natural on their much-loved YouTube channel, that undoubtedly seems like a good piece of advice to live by.</p>\n","date":"3/11/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/06.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13338"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/joerg-sprave-interview/"},"strings":{"title":"The Slingshot Channel's Joerg Sprave's Unconventional Journey to YouTube Stardom","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">From the moment you open up <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/JoergSprave\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The SlingShot Channel</a> on YouTube, you get a sense that it isn’t any regular corner of the internet.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The welcome video’s raging riffs and array of weaponry immediately signal that on this channel, you won't just get another YouTuber staring down a camera as they discuss video games or the latest goings-on in their lives. Nope, SlingShot has a devotion to dealing with four simple things: inventions, reviews, stunts and <em>destruction</em>.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is certainly an action-packed channel with a unique sense of style, but all of that makes complete sense when you consider that the man behind its success is <em>far </em>from your \"normal\" YouTuber.</p>\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/2t4ojjzJJZ4\" width=\"560\"></iframe>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Breaking the mould</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One thing that immediately becomes apparent when you watch a couple of SlingShot videos (aka JoergSprave videos) is that the channel’s founder Joerg Sprave is clearly having a ball. Now in his 50s, he breaks the mould when it comes to the regular stereotype of YouTubers being from the younger generations. Perhaps even more intriguingly, he left a role at a large corporation which created video editing software in order to chase success on the platform – and it is fair to say he has achieved it.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the time of writing, The SlingShot Channel has in the region of <strong>2.5 million subscribers</strong>, with people from across the globe checking out Joerg’s latest incredible inventions and extreme range of stunts. The viewing figures are simply incredible, with his most-watched piece on Katana swords racking up <em>more </em>than <strong>17 million views</strong> and a piece on throwing playing cards being watched by around <strong>10 million people</strong>.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Slingshot & the Condom Challenge</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Furthermore, the channel also enjoyed some viral success and major headlines thanks to a video in which Joerg responded to the<em> Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Condom Challenge</em>. The initiative is all about improving and boosting the use of condoms, so the SlingShot Channel thought it would lend a hand by creating a slingshot designed specifically for applying the items. The number of views achieved by the video featuring the impressive – if painful-looking – device? Only around 6.5 million.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sitting down to speak to us, Joerg is quick to make a little disclaimer about his work and the risks that are involved, explaining: <cite>“The things that I do are usually very dangerous, and not safe. And nobody should do it at home, but I enjoy it and my fans enjoy it too, fortunately.”</cite></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">A different lifestyle</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When you are deep in conversation with Joerg, it is clear he cannot hide the love that he has for the work he does on the channel. However, he is also candid during our interview about the lifestyle changes he has gone through since embracing it as a full-time venture.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He says: <cite><var>“I used to make a lot of money being in a vice president position at a big corporation. Going back to being self-employed was a major step, just walking away from such an income isn't easy, but I think it was really good changing because now my day is completely different.</var></cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite><var>“I no longer have to wear a suit and tie just because I work for a German company, that's how you’re supposed to show up.”</var></cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While he has admittedly ditched the suit for the most part, Joerg has got it back out of the wardrobe recently for a couple of videos related to another YouTube venture he is now involved in. He has been able to call on his years of business experience to become the driving force behind the YouTubers Union, which last year launched a joint initiative known as <strong>FairTube</strong> with the German union IG Metall. The aim? To boost fairness and transparency for content creators using the site.</p>\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/q7RfYt_p2mk\" width=\"560\"></iframe>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While we didn’t get a chance to talk to him about the issue, it is a very intriguing project which has suggested a range of proposals designed to provide more support to those using YouTube. These include calls for all categories and decision criteria that affect monetisation and views of videos to be published, as well as clearer explanations on individual decisions made related to the advertiser-friendly content guidelines. The initiative is also calling for YouTubers to have an actual go-to contact that is qualified to explain and discuss issues with them.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Big Fan of Gaming</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Considering he has the day-to-day running of his channel and the battle for YouTuber rights to think about, it is maybe unsurprising when Joerg mentions that he does not have too much time to embrace his long-standing love of <a href=\"/en/games/\">video games</a> at the moment. However, while we know he is a big fan of <a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\">Raid: Shadow Legends</a>, what other titles has he been playing when the opportunity arises?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He outlines: <cite>“I play a few other RPGs a lot. So that was fun, I did that too. And every now and then, I like to play card games just like poker games and so on. But as I said, not very often because of lack of time.”</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Time to sit down and enjoy some gaming may be in short supply, but that didn’t stop Joerg from visiting Gamescom shortly before our interview. As he talks about his “overwhelming experience” at the event, it quickly becomes clear just how his success goes on to affect his life when he is out and about in public.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>“The amount of money game companies spent on their booths there is mind-blowing. And of course, it took me forever to go from one end of the show to the other one, because I'm not sure how many people wanted to take a selfie with me,” he recalls.</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>“As soon as I started to give someone a selfie, you know like the line would form up and I would be trapped in there for maybe 20 minutes. I enjoyed it but I was also very exhausted.”</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img alt=\"Joerg Sprave\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/1.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Embracing the freedom</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But while the SlingShot Channel has seemingly absorbed his time and also left Sprave facing the tiring tasks which are associated with celebrity status, he remains happy and grateful for everything that has happened following his massive YouTube success.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Furthermore, he unsurprisingly mentions weaponry when talking about the sense of freedom he enjoys, outlining: <cite>“I'm my own boss, I can do what I want, and I can just wake up in the morning, if I feel like building another crossbow, I will build another crossbow.”</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He adds that he views his career as “the life of an artist”, explaining: “<cite>As an artist, your income is very unstable, you have really good months and you have really bad months and everything in between. I know it is the best move I’ve ever made and I’m very grateful for the opportunity that I could turn into an artist after so many years being a professional manager.”</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He is certainly making the most of it and it will be fascinating to see where Joerg’s unconventional journey takes him next!</p>\n","date":"2/16/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/test2.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13337"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/professor-akali-interview/"},"strings":{"title":"An Inside Look at Competitive Gaming and LoL with Professor Akali","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"540000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">In 2020, competitive gaming, eSports, streaming, and gaming influencers are bigger than ever. The eSports scene is growing at an exponential rate, and there’s a lot of space for gamers to make a name for themselves in the industry.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Exploring the current state of play, Plarium sat down with an influencer who certainly has an interesting perspective on the world of gaming. In their interview, we managed to get some key insight into modern competitive gaming. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For us, there was no better personality to interview than Professor Akali, a former competitive gamer-turned-YouTube star. These days, he posts regular League of Legends content on his channels. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Without further ado, let's find out Professor Akali’s thoughts on the competitive gaming scene, where LoL is heading and much more, in an exclusive interview. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Who is Professor Akali?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali’s real name is Kevin Payaam Maroufkhani. He is a former challenger, professional League of Legends player, and gaming coach. Since 2016, Professor Akali has been running his own popular YouTube channel, which features League of Legends guides and LoL entertainment videos.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The influencer’s channel, aptly named \"Professor Akali,\" boasts over 758,000 subscribers and over 900 videos. It’s simply a huge channel for any League of Legends fan, with plenty of helpful and entertaining streams.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali’s first video, \"Winning A Diamond Ranked Game In Two Plays Ft. Best Akali KR,\" went live on YouTube all the way back on August 21, 2016. Growing immensely in popularity in the years since, the videos he creates now get hundreds of thousands of views.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">His most popular creation to date is \"Professor Akali vs. 5 Bronze Players (1v5) – League of Legends,\" which has over 2.2 million views. Along with his most popular video to date, Professor Akali has nine other streams that have eclipsed one million views. He has certainly earned a mighty audience of gamers within the League of Legends community, if not with eSports fans at large.</p>\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/sIIFhmA_lko\" width=\"560\"></iframe>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Which Champion Does Professor Akali Use?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali predominantly uses the rogue assassin Akali as his champion when playing League of Legends. As his name would suggest, the player has an affinity for the moderately difficult assassin champion.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But why does Professor Akali use Akali in LoL? When asked why he’s so attached to the character, Professor Akali responded, \"She is by far the most fun character in the game to play.” Akali is a strong player in the game, which is likely why <a href=\"https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/riot-previews-league-patch-10-3-changes-to-akali-yuumi-senna-and-aphelios\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">she was nerfed in the most recent 10.3 patch</a>, but the Professor's reply reminds us how it’s important to use fun champions as well as strong champions.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of the reasons why Professor Akali has been able to reach the heights of pro gaming is precisely because he enjoys using Akali. This has, in turn, made it much easier for him to put in the hours it takes to become a great player and streamer.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We also asked what makes him so much better at using Akali than his fellow influencers. He teasingly responded that he is just better at the game than his counterparts. Of course, the point was also made that he also plays as Akali thousands of times a year.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As anyone who has played League of Legends will know, there is a distinct difference between experienced players and noobs. In games like LoL and DOTA 2, there's a grand learning curve and many aspects to become familiar with if you hope to be a competitive player.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Outsiders often perceive professional gaming as a hobby of little effort. This is because gaming is, for most people, a leisurely and entertaining activity. Getting to the penthouse of pro gaming, though, takes thousands of hours of practice and strategizing. Professor Akali shows this as he explains how dedicated he is to just one champion on League of Legend.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What's His Take on PC vs Console Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gaming on PC offers the player more controls and functions, which increases the skill that can be used in-game, says the pro. Professor Akali explains that the options on console controllers are too narrow to compete competitively, and we know quite a lot of his peers who would agree.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img alt=\"Professor Akali\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/2.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to the former League of Legends pro, console controllers are simply too small and limited for competition. He told us that a small controller of around 14 buttons doesn't give players enough of a range of controls as compared to the keyboard. Professor Alkali aptly finished his point by saying, \"if you think that you can play competitively with an Xbox controller, you’re delusional.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It’s easy to see why this is the case just by looking at the new games coming onto the scene. New titles aspire to the gameplay and skill levels in the likes of DOTA 2 and League of Legends. Developers want to replicate the immense depth and skill required to play their games to become respected competitive PC titles. This can be seen in the design and depth of PvP Arena battle title <a href=\"/en/plarium-play/\">Raid: Shadow Legends on PC</a>. With over 300 champions, epic boss battles, and over one million builds, Raid offers the depth desired by gamers. Due to the nature of the intense PvP arena, players are also required to learn the game and develop the skill to rise up the ranks - as it goes with almost every successful game worth the trouble.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What is the Worst Part of Solo Queue?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali believes that the worst part of a solo queue game is players who talk, chat, or moan too much. Simply put, players who are concentrated on winning don’t tend to do much typing. So, in LoL, you can tell who is going to be annoying in the game by their volume of chatter.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali stated that people who vent are the most annoying: “More specifically, the jungler always frigging cries.” In his experience in the professional ranks and to this day, he says that basically every high-level jungler cries in the game.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What's more, Alkali says that there’s one situation that always gets the jungler moaning: When the game is around two minutes in, and the mid-laner doesn’t have pressure, he can’t roam to help the jungler. But the jungler wants help because they suck and get invaded. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Clearly, Professor Akali doesn't have much time for junglers who can't do their jobs and moan for help when things aren't going their way. In competitive LoL, the best way for a team to rise to the top is for everyone to be pulling their weight well in their own space. In the early game, the mid-laner can't give up their post to help the jungler, so there's no point crying for help.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you happen to play jungler and are still reading at this point, the advice the pro has for you is that if you don’t want to get under the skin of your teammates, you’d best avoid crying in the chat and instead work on not getting invaded early on. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What Does Professor Akali Think of Competitive Mobile Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Interestingly, Professor Akali sees a strong future for competitive mobile gaming. His view is primarily based on the fact that mobile devices are getting stronger, and mobile games are developing rapidly.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It may not be up to the standards of PC gaming, but we can all admit that we've sunk a fair bit of time in a free mobile game. Most of us have also spent a bit of money on some microtransactions too. Mobile gaming is simply too diverse, easy, and convenient for it not to appeal to everyone - let alone to gamers. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mobile gaming can still best be described as a guilty pleasure by most. The platform has a bit of stigma due to the games seemingly being inferior to console and PC games. Professor Akali used to be of the thinking that mobile games aren't good enough to be competitive. However, he’s since come around on the idea, despite the obvious difference in controls here too.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When asked if he sees a future for competitive games on mobile, he said:</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">“I used to not think so, but considering how mobile games are evolving so rapidly – in terms of how smoothly they run and all these things – and computers are not [evolving].  Mobile devices are getting stupidly strong, to the point where they’re like a computer from a year or two ago. I would say there’s definitely a very strong chance [that there’s a future for competitive mobile games], and, on top of that, the last fact is: So many people like mobile games.”</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That's a fair point if we've ever seen one. As pretty much all of us have mobiles in our pockets and mobile games are so easily accessed, it shouldn't be surprising that mobile games are so popular. The mobile scene has become much more competitive and now there are loads of high-quality games available. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now, mobile gaming is at a place where it wants to expand alongside the growing eSports industry. Of course, mobiles aren’t quite ready for sprawling MOBAs – mostly due to the limited controls available. But well-balanced and highly-competitive games are still making it to mobile devices.<a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\"> A prime example of this is Raid</a>, which has delivered top-class competitive mobile gaming by adapting the PC version to be compatible with the small screen. It has the depth and customization options that competitive players seek, but with mobile-optimized controls.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Why Is Online Gaming Better Than Classic Card Games like Poker?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali has dabbled in the poker scene in the past but says that he doesn’t like the game anymore. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking on his experiences on the poker scene at a competitive level, Professor Akali claims that it went well - until it didn't. He enjoyed the game until he lost, which he says ended up being a net loss. In fact, the League of Legends star says he still wouldn't be recommending the game to anyone else. He says that poker is a boring and slow game - as you would expect from someone whose game time is predominantly spent in the action-packed maps of League of Legends.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We thank Professor Akali for taking the time to talk with us and giving us a look into the exciting world of competitive gaming.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali continues to put up several League of Legends videos each month, which<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDIJhfKjVYlbo5-oQvM5EqQ/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"> you can check out on his channel over on YouTube</a>.  </p>\n","date":"2/11/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/02.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13336"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/twitchcon/"},"strings":{"title":"TwitchCon (2022) is Back with a BANG!"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"TwitchCon 2022 is gonna be BIG","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-con-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14873"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gaymer/"},"strings":{"title":"Are You a Gaymer?

It was broken. Well, not broken exactly, it was Chinese and worked without cartridges. That was how I started playing. And after that, there was my first computer club. I was six at the time. That was where it all started.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Quite early, then?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Do you remember when you decided you wanted to pursue a pro gaming career?</strong></p>\n\n<p>There was no moment.</p>\n\n<p><strong>You were pretty young when you got your first competitive playing experience, too.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes, but I never really wanted to become a pro. Everyone just played DOTA for fun. There were lots of LAN tournaments in Kyiv. They were held in these basement computer clubs. So, we played there—everyone wanted to win.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And when did you realize that you’d made the transition from the amateur level to the pro level?</strong></p>\n\n<p>When I started getting paid in my first team. iCCup, it was called. With Resolut1on and Mag. That was when.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Can you recall the hardest match in your career? Who was it against?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The hardest matches were always against EnVy (and his team).  In 2015, we played a lot of tournaments against them. They were small, but we always played against them in the finals. Those matches against him were the hardest. EnVy was cryptonite.</p>\n\n<p><strong>That leads me to my next question, about your best teammate and best opponent. Was EnVy your toughest opponent?</strong></p>\n\n<p>No, not EnVy. There was a player called bOne7 at the time. He was the toughest offlaner back then. He was in a strong team with pieliedie, EnVy, bOne7, and I can't remember who else. They were tough. That was 2013 - 2014.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Is there a player you enjoyed playing on the same team with the most? Aside from Volodya PGG.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Volodya PGG.</p>\n\n<p><strong>See, I guessed it!</strong></p>\n\n<p>Ah, okay, there was also a player called BeaSt, but nobody knows him.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What made him so special?</strong></p>\n\n<p>He used to sing while playing, or rap.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Well, that’s fun, at least.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Before it became mainstream, before that.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Before it became mainstream. Alright. We know many athletes have rituals that they have to follow before a match, and they're generally superstitious people. What rituals do you have?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Taking a shower.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Before a game?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>That’s a useful ritual, even for everyday life.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And aside from that? Maybe you've accumulated some superstitions over all these years? </strong></p>\n\n<p>No, I can't say I have. You just need to be mentally ready for the game.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Just take some time to think?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes. Or talk to your teammates.</p>\n\n<p><strong>How do you train, how do you get ready for tournaments? What does your usual workday look like?</strong></p>\n\n<p>I play MM [matchmaking], I try not to use my mic—that's about it.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Okay. Do you spend much time working on the strategic side of the game? Maybe you watch demos before matches?</strong></p>\n\n<p>I used to watch replays, not a lot, but I'm trying to do that now. That's it, I just watch replays.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Alright. How do things like nutrition and physical fitness come into it, if at all? Do you pay attention to things like that?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, it's subjective. If you don't feel well after eating some bad food like McDonald's, it's better if you don't eat it. But, if you can eat 50 nuggets in an evening, you go ahead and eat those 50 nuggets.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Can you eat 50 nuggets in one evening?</strong></p>\n\n<p>I don't remember how many we ate yesterday, but yeah. I suppose I can.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Alright. What's your favorite thing about e-sports?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The sports side of it—</p>\n\n<p><strong>The competitions, right?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The competitions themselves, yes. And also traveling and seeing other countries. I think so.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And what's your least favorite part? What would you like to change about the profession?</strong></p>\n\n<p>A profession, huh?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Well, you are a pro gamer, aren't you?</strong></p>\n\n<p>There's no need to change anything.  I'd change MM, and the rest is okay as it is.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And what would you change about MM?</strong></p>\n\n<p>So, there was this platform called iCCup, and you could create your own lobbies there so that only players of your PTS [rating points] level could join. And if you didn't want a player in your lobby, you could kick them out and play with the players you wanted. That's what's missing now.</p>\n\n<p><strong>So even at your MMR [matchmaking rating], you find a big range in the ratings–</strong></p>\n\n<p>Players rated 1000 to 2000, yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>In your lobbies?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Of course.</p>\n\n<p><strong>How's that even possible?</strong></p>\n\n<p>It just happens. Because, well, that's the way DOTA works.</p>\n\n<p><strong>It’s never happened to me, but maybe because I'm not even a 1000-rated player. Okay.  Can you tell us about your e-sports plans for this year? Maybe you've set some goals?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, INT [The International]. There was supposed to be one last year, but there wasn't, so it's this year's INT.</p>\n\n<p><strong>You were supposed to retire after the last one, based on your promise.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, now that's after this year's INT. Probably.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What about your personal goals? Do you have any big personal goals you're striving toward in the near future?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, as I’ve said before, I want to establish a school.</p>\n\n<p><strong>It’s going to happen this year?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, not this year, exactly. When the COVID situation improves a little, then we'll start.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Right, okay. We’ll be looking forward to that. Which aspects of your gaming style would you like to improve?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Die less. And that's it.</p>\n\n<p><strong>But that's your prerogative! You're the five!</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, I'm starting to die less already. It's okay.When the others die, well—</p>\n\n<p><strong>Better if it were you, right?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Right.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What do you think—does everyone on a team need to be friends and get along for the team to be successful? Does that affect the cohesion of the team and its results?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well... Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And if they aren't?</strong></p>\n\n<p>If they aren't, it could also work. It's all subjective.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Alright. And how do you think cohesion comes about in a team? Say, a new player joins you...</strong></p>\n\n<p>Okay.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What needs to be done to integrate them into the team as quickly as possible?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Just play a lot and communicate with each other about DOTA, all the time. Dedicate all their time to DOTA.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What about just hanging out, or going on vacation together?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yeah, that could also work. You can go on vacation, but...</p>\n\n<p><strong>Before the league, just go on vacation.</strong></p>\n\n<p>No, it’s better if everyone goes on vacation on their own.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Can you tell us one surprising fact about you that your fans don't know? Bohdan has Naruto-print socks, electronic had a single sneaker stolen from his hotel room. Have you had any crazy moments at tournaments? </strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Maybe someone stole something from you, or maybe someone started a fight with someone else? Or almost started a fight? Someone took a flight to the wrong city? Also, Bohdan said that the thing that causes the most craziness in his life is you.</strong></p>\n\n<p>There was one time when we were flying back home from the INT. Our flight was delayed by 3 hours. We landed—me, Resolut1on, and Aloha. So, we arrive in Amsterdam to transfer, we run to the check-in desk, and we see our plane take off right in front of our eyes. And so, we slept in the airport—either on the couches or right on the floor, I can’t remember—for 14 hours.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Why didn't you go for a walk through Amsterdam?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Because we didn’t have visas.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ah, I see, it was back then. A pity, a pity.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Definitely a crazy moment. How has your career as a pro gamer changed you as a person? Maybe you developed some personality traits that weren't there before? What have all these years done to you, Andrii?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Oh, listen, I've become patient, you know.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Have you?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes. There are times when you don't want to be patient and you let it all out. But there are times when you need to show patience. And that’s fine, whatever it is, you can ignore it.</p>\n\n<p><strong>So it's a kind of positive change? That's awesome.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes, but that’s for life in general, not for MM.  It doesn't work that way in MM.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What path in life would you have pursued if you hadn’t become a pro gamer?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Catering.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Uh-huh. So you would've been a cashier at McDonald's like Bohdan? Those are his words, not mine. He said so himself. A part-time job.</strong></p>\n\n<p>No, I would've been his boss. I would have told him that he should be preparing the Big Macs, not eating them every day!</p>\n\n<p><strong>I see. So you stack up even here. According to you, what is the most underrated game of the past 20 years and why?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Half-Life.</p>\n\n<p><strong>And why? Why do you think it's underrated?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Because not a lot of people play it. Valve abandoned it, released some Half-Life 2 that no one needed, and gave up on the third one four years ago. And, at the end of the day, they could’ve just let the first Half-Life live on, but no.</p>\n\n<p><strong>It's a sad story, but thank you for your sincere answers, Andrii. Andrii, you've been playing DOTA for a very long time now...</strong></p>\n\n<p>Yes, since '73.</p>\n\n<p><strong>...professionally, for around a decade.</strong> <strong>If you had to choose the “best” and \"worst\" moments of your career during that time, what would they be?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The best is when we won on the stage at the INT. The worst one... is when we lost in 2015, on the stage at the INT. To the Korean team. MVP Phoenix or just VP.</p>\n\n<p><strong>In one of your interviews, you mentioned that you've been on a huge number of teams.</strong></p>\n\n<p>As it turns out, yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>That’s logical, given how long you've been playing. What would you recommend to new players? It is worth switching teams often, or is it better to try and improve yourself and stay longer on the same team?</strong></p>\n\n<p>It's always a good idea to develop and improve yourself, no matter who you’re with. If you're on a team that is constantly improving and developing, and it works for you, it's better to stay there. But if you're improving while the rest of the team doesn't, then you need to switch teams.</p>\n\n<p><strong>How has the DOTA scene changed over the years?</strong></p>\n\n<p>It has become more toxic.</p>\n\n<p><strong>More toxic?</strong></p>\n\n<p>By 785%.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Why? How does that manifest itself? We're talking about the pro community as well.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Because people have no manners. They learn their manners from DOTA, from MM, from swearing, from streamers who swear very rudely.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Thank God we're not like that. In your opinion, what does your roster need to focus on, most of all?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Our roster should focus on playing as a team, most of all.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Are you seeing success in that?</strong></p>\n\n<p>We're working on it.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Awesome, awesome. Then, I wish you guys success in this tough endeavor!</strong></p>\n\n<p>Thank you, thank you very much.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Thank you for the interview, goodbye!</strong></p>\n\n<p>Goodbye!</p>\n\n<p><em>Thanks for reading our 1:1 interview!

They speak of something strange… something forged in the crucible of black magic. They speak of an unthinkably powerful force that hides in the darkness of the Shadowkin faction. They speak of the Legendary Champion, Ninja!</p>\n\n<p>Known as the Boss Slayer, this relentless Champion is based on the famous twitch gamer himself - <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_(gamer)\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Ninja</a>. Trained in the badlands of Halo 3 and Fortnite, he is bringing all his talents now to the arena of <a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>.</p>\n\n<p>So, hurry and claim this Champion for FREE by playing RAID for 7 days before October 15th… or miss out on him forever!</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-famous-gamer,-ninja,-became-a-champion-in-raid\">How Famous Gamer, Ninja, Became a Champion in RAID</h2>\n\n<p>Not everyone has a fun alter ego but not everyone is our friendly neighbourhood gamer, Ninja, either. While you may think you know Ninja, his truth goes far beyond the ordinary. There’s much more to this young man than his twitch gamer persona suggests because, as you’ll see, the legend of Ninja goes way back.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ObV8PWEtzFs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>It all began when a Shadowkin swordsman happened upon an abandoned baby in the reeds of a river near his village. The warrior should have taken the boy’s life for he had the markings of the Banner Lords but no blade saw blood that day.</p>\n\n<p>Why was it so? We shall never know. Instead of taking the child’s life, the Shadowkin swordsman took the boy under his care. Hidden away from the Demonspawn by villagers, he was a blank canvas onto which the lessons of the Shadowkin came to be imprinted. </p>\n\n<p>As he grew, he mastered the ways of the blade and bow, but that was just the start of his journey. He soon learned the secrets of dark sorcery and the ways of the Shadowkin till a time came when no foe could withstand his powers. </p>\n\n<p>That was the time when he rose in the great liberation war of the Shadowkin. In that epic battle, he came to be known as the Boss Slayer. When the Shadowkin emerged victorious as a free people once again, only then did they give the boy a name befitting a Legendary Champion - Ninja.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Legendary Ninja Gamer is now a Legendary Champion in RAID: Shadow Legends\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2021/july/ninja/raid_ninja.jpg\" style=\"width: 700px; height: 400px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"skills-of-ninja-gamers-should-watch-out-for\">Skills of Ninja Gamers Should Watch Out For</h2>\n\n<p>For any RAID gamer, Ninja is the perfect Champion to lead a team. He isn’t called the Boss Slayer for nothing!</p>\n\n<p>His mastery of the dark arts combined with his sword wielding and archery skills makes him a formidable Champion. Ninja has 4 skills, including a very unique Passive Skill. In addition, each of his Skills improve when fighting Bosses. </p>\n\n<p>His default Shatterbolt Skill releases an arrow to break through the enemy’s defense. It can also fill Ninja’s Turn Meter by 15% when fighting against Bosses.</p>\n\n<p>His Hailburn Skill strikes 3 times at random with burning hail before letting him disappear under an invisible veil. This Skill can place an HP Burn debuff for 3 turns and can instantly activate all the HP Burn debuffs at once when hitting a Boss. This makes Ninja one of the best Champions to take down the dreaded Frost Spider, Sorath, in the Doom Tower.</p>\n\n<p>Then, his Cyan Slash Skill can freeze all enemies with a lethal swipe. When this is used against a Boss, Ninja will ignore half of the Boss’s defense and it will also decrease the cooldown of the Hailburn Skill by 1 turn. </p>\n\n<p>Finally, we come to Ninja’s passive that all gamers are looking forward to - Escalation. This can dramatically increase his Attack and Critical Damage if he uses all his active Skills in a Round, making him a formidable finisher.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, since it’s RAID: Shadow Legends, you can improve Ninja further by figuring out his recommended artifacts and masteries. We’ll leave that for you to experiment with and explore. If you’re not sure how to make the most of Ninja, though, or how best to use his Skills, help is at hand: Ninja himself will be streaming his RAID gameplay on <a href=\"https://www.twitch.tv/ninja\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitch</a>. He’ll be sharing his strategies and tactics with all his viewers so look out for that!</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"get-iconic-twitch-gamer-ninja's-raid-champion-for-free\">Get Iconic Twitch Gamer Ninja's RAID Champion For Free</h2>\n\n<p>As we mentioned, the Ninja Legendary Champion is available to all players of RAID until mid-October. You just need to play the game for 7 days before 09:00 UTC on October 15th, and he’s yours forever! </p>\n\n<p>So, all that’s left is for you to jump into RAID: Shadow Legends. Stay active in the game for seven days, add Ninja to your collection, and write a new chapter in this Champion’s story! </p>\n","date":"7/29/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/ninja-gamer-in-raid.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13362"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gaming-platforms/"},"strings":{"title":"Modern Gaming Platforms: How the Market Has Evolved and Who is Leading the Way","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"540000","description":"<p>Gaming is bigger and better than it’s ever been. Today, there are more players, more games, and, importantly, more platforms than ever. In fact, the industry has evolved so much over the last two decades that the term “gaming platform” no longer means only one thing.</p>\n\n<p>Alongside gaming platforms that you play on, there are also gaming platforms where streams are broadcast. This guide will take a look at the evolution of gaming platforms and how the market has become so much more diverse than it used to be.  </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"active-gaming-platforms\">Active Gaming Platforms</h2>\n\n<p>There are five major players when it comes to gaming platforms. Although there are brands and platforms outside of this so-called \"big five\", the following ones are those currently dominating the market:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"pc-gaming-platforms\">PC Gaming Platforms</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC gaming</a> has long been the reserve of hardcore players. Dell, HP, and Sony have all been in the game for decades. However, what’s most interesting about the PC as a gaming platform is its technological innovations. Companies like Razor and Alienware have found ways to make games more engaging and immersive.</p>\n\n<p>Products such as <a href=\"https://www.dell.com/en-uk/gaming/alienware-laptops\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Alienware gaming laptops</a> now feature all manner of high-quality features. From 11th generation Intel Core processors that clock speeds of 4.9GHz, to cutting-edge Cryo-Tech cooling technology, these devices can run highly complex gaming environments and never miss a beat. In fact, it’s this ability to offer high-powered technology that’s kept PCs relevant in today’s market.</p>\n\n<p>In a world where gaming platforms like the PlayStation are selling 100 million+ units, PC companies like Alienware need a USP. That USP is <em><strong>power</strong></em>. Hardcore gamers want lightning-fast refresh rates and hardware that doesn’t overheat. Indeed, it’s no coincidence that eSports professionals use gaming PCs like the Hyper Liquid Ryzen X.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"mobile-gaming-platforms\">Mobile Gaming Platforms</h3>\n\n<p>From <a href=\"/en/games/os/ios-games/\">iOS</a> to <a href=\"/en/games/os/android-games/\">Android</a>, the market for <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile games</a> have exploded over the last decade. <a href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/536433/mobile-games-revenue-worldwide/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20source%2C%20global,mobile%20gaming%20industry%20as%20well.\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">According to Statista</a>, global mobile gaming revenue will top $102 billion by 2023. That’s an increase of almost $30 billion on the market’s value in 2020.</p>\n\n<p>This surge in mobile gaming platforms is driven, primarily, by smartphones and casual gamers. Although apps have become more sophisticated in recent years, mobile games are a far cry from the average PC title. By observing some recent statistics, it's fair to say that casual gamers are driving the modern gaming market.</p>\n\n<p>Firstly, more than 60% of all smartphone apps are games. Secondly, there are over 3.8 billion smartphone users in the world. Finally, there were <a href=\"https://www.blog.udonis.co/mobile-marketing/mobile-games/mobile-gaming-statistics\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">80 billion game downloads in 2020</a> and, according to data from <a href=\"https://newzoo.com/insights/articles/games-market-engagement-revenues-trends-2020-2023-gaming-report/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Newzoo</a>, 2.5 billion people play on mobile. These statistics suggest that mobile gaming is a mainstream activity.</p>\n\n<p>What’s interesting is that smartphones aren’t a gateway to other gaming platforms. Instead, they’ve become a gaming platform in their own right. People aren’t always trying games on their mobile then “getting serious” and switching to a console or PC. This is why many of the leading brands haven’t ventured too far into the mobile business. Smartphone developers are sticking to their side of the industry, console and PC developers are sticking to theirs.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"playstation-gaming-platforms\">PlayStation Gaming Platforms</h3>\n\n<p>This platform all started with the original <a href=\"https://www.playstation.com/en-us/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">PlayStation</a>. The brainchild of Sony executive Ken Kutaragi, PlayStation’s first console was born out of a joint venture between Nintendo and Sony. The two companies collaborated in 1988 to create a CD-ROM for the Super Famicom. This inspired Kutaragi to put forward the idea of a standalone product that used CDs instead of cartridges.</p>\n\n<p>That idea evolved into the PlayStation, which has gone on to become one of the best-selling gaming platforms ever. The first console sold 100 million units. That was quickly surpassed by the PlayStation 2, which became the most popular gaming console of all time when it sold <a href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/1101876/unit-sales-playstation-2-region/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>over</strong> <strong>155 million units</strong></a>. Now in its fifth incarnation, PlayStation continues to push the boundaries.</p>\n\n<p>Released in 2020, the PlayStation 5 comes in two formats: the digital and traditional gaming console. A new 825GB SSD makes the PlayStation 5 two orders of magnitude faster than the PlayStation 4.</p>\n\n<p>In practical terms, it can load 2GB of content in a quarter of a second. The system can run 4K/120 and support 8K/60. It also has upgraded controller haptics that vary based on the in-game dynamics. Basically, PlayStation 5 is one of the best gaming consoles in the world, which is why it’s so in demand. </p>\n\n<h3 id=\"microsoft's-xbox-gaming-platform\">Microsoft's Xbox Gaming Platform</h3>\n\n<p>Microsoft was a relative latecomer to the gaming platform arena but it quickly made up for lost time. Xbox may not be as much of a hit as PlayStation but it’s still one of the world’s leading consoles. The first Xbox was released in 2001 and sold over 24 million units. The Xbox 360 followed in 2005 and, as of 2014, it had sold more than 84 million units.</p>\n\n<p>Today, the Xbox is a ninth-generation console. The Series X and Series S were both released in 2020 and cater to both ends of the market. The Xbox Series S is a lower-cost alternative to the Xbox Series X. The main differences are speed, storage, and visuals.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Series S has a 3.6 GHz custom AMD Zen 2 eight-core CPU processor. The Series X has a 3.8 GHz custom AMD Zen 2 eight-core CPU.</li>\n\t<li>The Series S has 10 GB of GDDR6 RAM and 1440p graphics. The Series X has 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM and 8K graphics.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>These differences are reflected in the price ($299.99 vs. $499.99). However, they’re also a reflection of the market. The forecasts suggest there will be 3 billion gamers by 2023. Not all of these will be hardcore players. Microsoft has attempted to cover both ends of the market with the S and X, a strategy it's likely to continue as the industry grows.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"nintendo-gaming-platforms\">Nintendo Gaming Platforms</h3>\n\n<p>Nintendo has always been a major name in the industry. Its first gaming platforms, namely the NES and Super Nintendo, ushered in a revolution. Indeed, for many, it was these consoles that made video games mainstream and created a multi-billion-dollar industry. What’s interesting about Nintendo is its shift over time. From one of the main consoles for serious gamers, it’s now favored by novices and casuals.</p>\n\n<p>According to research from <a href=\"https://www.limelight.com/resources/white-paper/state-of-online-gaming-2019/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Limelight Networks</a>, 56.6% of people surveyed would describe themselves as “casual” gamers. A further 22.2% categorize themselves as novices. Nintendo has played to these demographics in recent years with its gaming platforms. The Nintendo Wii is the most obvious example. It clearly wasn’t aimed at hardcore gamers when it was released in 2006.</p>\n\n<p>The cartoonish nature of its games and the fact controlling characters was based on whole-body movements instead of finger taps was a sign that it was designed for light-hearted fun. This strategy of moving with the times has continued ever since.</p>\n\n<p>The Nintendo Switch, released in 2017, covers two console markets with a single gaming platform. Whether it successfully bridged the gap between consoles and mobiles is up for debate. However, it showed that mobile gaming was now being taken seriously by the major developers.</p>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Gaming platforms keep improving and diversifying over time\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_17/Illustration_800x500_01.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 500px;\" /></h2>\n\n<h2 id=\"streaming-gaming-platforms\">Streaming Gaming Platforms</h2>\n\n<p>As well as active gaming platforms, there are plenty of ways to enjoy video games in a passive way. The market for streaming has grown immensely over the last decade. Although it’s hard to get accurate data, there’s an estimated <strong>9.3 million active streamers</strong> on Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, this doesn’t include other gaming streaming platforms like YouTube. However, it gives you an idea of just how popular passive gaming entertainment has become.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"twitch\">Twitch</h3>\n\n<p>Born out of Justin.TV, which went live in 2007, Twitch is now established as the leading gaming platform for live streams. The recent rate of growth has been significant. In 2019, there have been <a href=\"https://twitchtracker.com/statistics\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">660 billion minutes</a> of watched content on Twitch. In the first half of 2021, there were 785 billion minutes. That’s a staggering amount of growth and a testament to the popularity of streaming.</p>\n\n<p>In short, gaming is no longer a purely active pastime. Watching people play and commentate on games is just as popular. That’s a marked shift and one that’s bound to shape gaming platforms of the future. With more people wanting to broadcast and/or watch content, the big brands will have to find ways to make this possible directly via their products.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"youtube\">YouTube</h3>\n\n<p>YouTube isn’t strictly a gaming platform, but it’s become a hotbed of streaming activity. In fact, you’ll see that many of today’s top stars have millions of followers. The beauty of YouTube gaming streams is that anything goes. There’s a slightly more laid-back vibe than Twitch which, for the most part, evolved from the hardcore side of the industry.</p>\n\n<p>In this sense, YouTube gaming is more accessible to the masses. Again, this fits with the industry’s recent evolution. Although gaming was built on those with a serious passion for playing, the modern market is filled with casuals. These casuals are more likely to watch streams on YouTube than Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>While some may see this as the erosion of the industry’s fundamentals, it’s made gaming the mega-industry it is today.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"vaughnlive\">VaughnLive</h3>\n\n<p>VaughnLive started in 2011 but didn’t allow gaming content. To address this, Vaughn created InstaGib TV as a side hustle. That gaming platform became a popular alternative to Twitch and YouTube.</p>\n\n<p>However, according to Vaughn, it “never got the attention it deserved” from its developers. As such, InstaGib was absorbed into VaughnLive in 2021.</p>\n\n<p>Today, people can watch gaming alongside streams dedicated to vaping, nature, music, and more. In fact, with InstaGib TV now merged into VaughnLive, the developers have been able to focus on building a mobile app. The beta version went live in 2021 which means this gaming platform should be much more accessible to fans of streaming in the coming years.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"gaming-platforms-for-everyone\">Gaming Platforms for Everyone</h3>\n\n<p>The lesson to take from all of this is that gaming is not only more popular and accessible than ever, but that it’s for everyone. Whatever background you come from, whatever your preferences, there’s a gaming platform to suit.</p>\n\n<p>From the <a href=\"/en/games/genre/casual-games/\">casual end</a> of the market to hardcore gamers and those that just want to watch, no one is left behind. That’s gaming in 2021 and that’s how it’s likely to be for a long time to come.</p>\n","date":"7/22/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gaming-platforms.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13361"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/youtube-gamers-to-know/"},"strings":{"title":"YouTube Gamers You Need to Watch: Legends, Established Stars, and Rising Talent","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Gaming never stands still. The stars of today are unlikely to be the stars of tomorrow. Unless, of course, they’re a once-in-a-lifetime talent. As such, the list of top YouTube gamers changes on a regular basis.</p>\n\n<p>Yes, there are some perennial favorites that have been around for the best part of a decade. We all know who they are.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>However, amongst the old guard, there’s a steady stream of rising stars. This guide aims to uncover some of the best YouTube gaming channels at the moment. By taking a dip in the fluid world of streaming, we’ve managed to fish out some hot picks. So, if you’re eager to find out which gamer YouTubers you should be watching, here’s our playlist!</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"current-stars:-youtube-gamers-you-probably-already know\">Current Stars: YouTube Gamers You Probably Already Know</h2>\n\n<p>Looking forward is great but you can’t ignore the past or, indeed, the present. There are some YouTube gamers that have stood the test of time and they’re always worth mentioning. We all know PewDiePie, JuegaGerman, and Fernanfloo. However, among the elite, there are other prominent names within the YouTube gaming community.</p>\n\n<p>In the past, we have already covered a few established stars (such as MMG, ESO, Bufarete and more), which you can read all about in <a href=\"/en/blog/youtube-gaming-channels/\">our older post</a>.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"rising-talent:-the-youtube-gamers-&-their-channels-you-should-be-watching\">Rising Talent: The YouTube Gamers & Their Channels You Should be Watching</h2>\n\n<p>It comes as no surprise that 2020 was a bumper year for YouTube gamers and their gaming channels. With the world turned on its head, people were glued to their screens for countless hours. In fact, <a href=\"https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/youtube-gaming-2020/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">according to stats</a>, <strong>gamer YouTubers attracted more than 100 billion hours of views in 2020!</strong> Driving the demand for YouTube gaming content were some rising stars in the business. Five of the top YouTube gamers to come out of this boom are:</p>\n\n<h4 id=\"fgteev\">FGTeeV</h4>\n\n<p>If it’s wholesome, funny, and high-quality gaming content you want, look no further than <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/FGTeeV/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">FGTeeV</a>. This YouTube gaming channel isn’t hosted by one person. It’s not even hosted by two. It’s hosted by a whole family of gaming enthusiasts. First, you got, Duddy, also known as, Duddz aka FeeGee or even D.D.G. Then there is FGTEEV Moomy, his wife, and their sons Shawn, Chase, and Mike and their daughter Lexi - this really is a family affair.</p>\n\n<p>The crew has more than <em>19 million subscribers</em> and a staggering <em>20 billion channel views</em>, which is pretty competitive in the world of YouTube gamers. Their content fuses sketch comedy with gaming and there are no boundaries. Indeed, unlike other YouTube gamers that focus on a single game or genre, anything goes on FGTeeV. From Xbox and Android games to Wii U and PlayStation products, this is the gaming YouTube channel to watch if you want fun and variety.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"flamingo\">Flamingo</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/flamingo\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Flamingo</a>, aka Albert, got started in 2017 and, today, he has more than 9.3 million subscribers. As you’d expect, gaming is the central focus of the channel and this guy loves all types of games. However, his main passion is Roblox games. What’s neat about Flamingo is that he covers all aspects of Roblox games.</p>\n\n<p>From new features such as voice commands to strategy and the backstory of the genre, he provides a fantastic entry point for viewers that have never encountered Roblox. Moreover, he likes to turn the camera back on himself and describe what it’s like to have one of the best YouTube gaming channels online. This often makes for some candid and inspiring content.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"robin-hood-gamer\">Robin Hood Gamer</h3>\n\n<p>Gaming is a universal language and <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/RobinHoodGamer1\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Robin Hood Gamer</a> is a case in point. The Brazilian YouTuber has over 16 million followers and his Minecraft videos regularly surpass 1 million views within a few weeks of being released. That’s impressive but not unheard of, but - Robin Hood Gamer publishes the majority of his content in Portuguese. Therefore, if you don’t speak that language, you might not understand everything he’s saying.</p>\n\n<p>So, firstly, the fact he can build up such a fanbase in Portuguese is a testament to the gaming community’s breadth and depth. A lot of people tend to forget that YouTube gamers and the industry, in general, don’t always speak English. Secondly, it shows that people will tune in even if they don’t understand what’s being said. Robin Hood Gamer is extremely animated when he plays, making it all the more captivating. Combine this with great Minecraft action and it doesn’t matter if you speak Portuguese or not.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"itsfunnneh\">ItsFunnneh</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/ItsFunneh/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">ItsFunnneh</a> is another Roblox YouTube gamer who, like FGTeeV, likes to make things a family affair. She puts out a ton of varied content individually and with members of her family (known as <strong>the Krew</strong>). As well as Roblox, this Canadian streamer likes to play Minecraft.</p>\n\n<p>What’s neat about this channel is that it has interactive fan-based content and even hosts fun things like quizzes (about games, of course).</p>\n\n<p>This combination of light-hearted entertainment and serious gaming has won ItsFunnneh the affections of the YouTube gaming community. In fact, it’s won her and the Krew the affections of almost 8 million subscribers. That’s not only helped them become some of the top YouTube gamers in the world but it’s also allowed her to release her own mobile game: Eat with Krew!</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"lazarbeam\">LazarBeam</h3>\n\n<p>From down under to on top of the YouTube gaming world, Australia’s <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/LazarBeam/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">LazarBeam</a> is one of the industry’s best. He likes to play a variety of games, including GTA, Fortnite, and Minecraft. His irreverent style is indicative of Aussie humor. Regardless, don’t discredit this guy’s gaming skills. He’s not become one of the best YouTube gamers by luck alone, and has the skills to back it up.</p>\n\n<p>You can see just how good he is in his live replays and strategy breakdowns. However, that’s not the end of LazarBeam’s talents. He loves creating memes and funny skits. Basically, he loves to have fun and make his channel as interesting as possible. This is a winning formula that’s earned him <em>more than 18.9 million subscribers</em>.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"gamers,-youtube-&-a-peak-to-the-future\">Gamers, YouTube & a Peak to the Future</h3>\n\n<p>And there you have it. We expect 2022 and onwards to be no exception when it comes to exciting YouTubers. Whether you like variety streamers or something more focused, there are plenty of choices to pick from to suit your gaming needs.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"youtube-gaming-channels-faq\">YouTube Gaming Channels FAQ</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"who-is-the-most-famous-youtube-gamer?\">Who is the most famous YouTube gamer?</h3>\n\n<p>The most famous YouTube gamers of all time are Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg aka PewDiePie, and Germán Garmendia aka JuegaGerman. Between them, these two YouTube gaming stars have <a href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/453461/leading-youtube-gaming-channels-subscribers/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">more than 150 million subscribers</a>.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"who-is-the-no.-1-gamer-youtuber?\">Who is the no. 1 gamer Youtuber?</h3>\n\n<p>The number one YouTuber gamer based on subscribers alone is PewDiePie. The Swedish star has over 100 million YouTube scribers and has earned millions from his gaming exploits. However, you should check out all of our top picks and more to find your favorite.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"who-are-the-funniest-gamers-on-youtube?\">Who are the funniest gamers on YouTube?</h3>\n\n<p>There are plenty of funny YouTube gamers online, but many people regard Daniel Middleton (aka DanTDM) as one of the best. Other hilarious streamers to look out for are H20Delirious and Daniel Hardcastle (aka OfficialNerdCubed).</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"who-are-the-top-gaming-youtubers?\">Who are the top gaming YouTubers?</h3>\n\n<p>Some of the most popular YouTube gamers are PewDiePie, FGTeeV, Robin Hood Gamer, and JuegaGerman.

But for a lot of us on the RAID: Shadow Legends team, the dream became a reality this week as we announced our collaboration with one of the largest Esports organizations in the world, Natus Vincere (NAVI), for their entire 2021 Esports tournament run.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Plarium and NAVI are kindred spirits in a way, as the two of us were established in the same year (2009), and NAVI is based right here in Ukraine where the RAID studio is located. NAVI is one of the most successful gaming organizations in history with teams in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, DOTA 2, Rainbow Six Siege, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds, Apex Legends, and Fortnite. In just a little more than a decade, they’ve won 241 trophies across global Esports competitions and were the most viewed club in the world last year with 23M total viewing hours across YouTube and Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>We couldn’t be more thrilled to have them represent RAID during 2021.

What about restoring your once beautiful mansion to its former glory?</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/games/genre/casual-games/\">Casual games</a> have evolved beyond the simple gratification of matching 3 brightly colored fruits together or popping a series of glowing spheres. Most of them have started giving players something more; something that's usually much more satisfying than the core gameplay.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>If you've spent any time reading about video games whatsoever, then you may have come across the term <strong>meta-game </strong>before.</p>\n\n<p>The video gaming community defines meta-game as <strong>anything that does not consist of the core gameplay mechanic or does not make up the bulk of a game's gameplay experience.</strong></p>\n\n<h2>What Are a Meta-Game's Characteristics?</h2>\n\n<p>Meta-game can be additional gameplay content or just content that, while not necessarily a gameplay feature, still enhances a player's involvement with that game.</p>\n\n<p>For example — a game may offer <a href=\"/en/blog/city-building-games/\">city management</a> and planning as its main gameplay element. But on top of that, the game may also challenge you to solve specific objectives for your city's inhabitants, including a story that tells you more about these citizens and their day to day lives.</p>\n\n<p>A game may also be an endless runner that lets you collect coins and power-ups along the way, but it may also feature a side gameplay element of customizing your character or upgrading their skills and abilities. </p>\n\n<p>Meta-game style gameplay and features help to keep us entertained and add to our enjoyment of a game - and it's partly why we spend over <a href=\"http://www.vertoanalytics.com/consumers-spend-1-billion-hours-month-playing-mobile-games/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">one billion hours a month playing mobile games</a>. But how important are meta-game mechanics to our overall experience of games?</p>\n\n<h2>What Sort of Games Include Meta-Game Mechanics?</h2>\n\n<p>The idea of meta-game mechanics and features has been around for quite some time, but one of the earliest casual games to properly utilize them is the 2003 release Diner Dash.</p>\n\n<p>In Diner Dash, players help a young woman named Flo manage various restaurants, turning them from rundown greasy spoons to respected eateries that you can be proud of.</p>\n\n<p>Diner Dash's core mechanic involves seating customers (according to their color codes), taking their orders, delivering those orders, and cleaning up after them to make money. It’s fast-paced and frantic, and players need to be constantly aware of a lot of different elements.</p>\n\n<h2>Upgrading & Improving the Game</h2>\n\n<p>However, players can also use collectible coins to improve their restaurants, including making Flo move quicker, offering a TV to keep diners entertained (and less likely to leave), and other, beneficial decor improvements. These upgrades could be considered a meta-game element, especially those who are mainly cosmetic.</p>\n\n<p>This sort of “upgraded gameplay” can also be seen in other games within the Diner Dash universe and in those that co-opted the restaurant/food management style that was popularized by it.</p>\n\n<p>For example, Cake Mania sees the player design cakes, and you can upgrade your appliances to make them bake quicker, ice faster, etc. Then, in Cooking Dash, Diner Dash's Flo takes part in a televised cooking show, and she can upgrade her fryers and the quality of the food materials she uses to make more money.</p>\n\n<p>Other common meta-game mechanics include renovation gameplay and story content. Bubble Witch 3 Saga, Lost Island, and Gardenscapes are just a handful of games that offer this.</p>\n\n<h2>Why Meta-Game is Important</h2>\n\n<p>Mobile gaming is an incredibly crowded space, and it is estimated that <a href=\"https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/267645/Over_500_games_now_submitted_to_iOS_App_Store_every_day.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">over 500 games are submitted to the App Store every day</a>. What this means is that there is a huge amount of competition and that mobile game developers must work much harder to stand out.</p>\n\n<p>Interesting meta-game mechanics are one such solution to that problem.</p>\n\n<p>A match 3 game with renovation mechanics and business management is far more interesting than a basic match 3 that offers nothing else. This additional meta-content includes captivating stories and engaging gameplay that you won't be able to get anywhere else in one, fun, combined package.</p>\n\n<p>Not only does meta-gaming give you more of an incentive to play a specific game, but it also provides you with less of an incentive to play other titles. Why play another game when the ones you've already got are able to scratch that itch?</p>\n\n<h2>The Future of Meta Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>As ever, it will be important for game developers to make sure that the core gameplay mechanics (e.g. match 3, puzzle, strategy and logic) are worth your while. As competition in the casual and mobile games industry especially continues to heat up, expect to see more of an emphasis on meta-gaming mechanics moving forward.</p>\n\n<p>This is no bad thing as you'll be getting more bang for your buck - or, if it's free to play, you'll be making the most of your time.</p>\n\n<p>With all of these rich stories and this greater variety of gameplay, you'll soon become more invested in your favorite titles than ever.</p>\n","date":"11/18/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/casual/blog/illustrations/family-zoo.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13355"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/the-rise-in-popularity-of-retro-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Retrogaming’s Growth: The Enduring Popularity of Classic Games and Characters","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Gaming may be in the most advanced stage in its history, but many people remain keen to play the old school games that kick-started it all.</p>\n\n<p>Retrogaming has become big business in recent years, with old games being ported to newer consoles, classic devices getting a re-release and social settings bringing back features of the classic arcades of old.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>The rise of retro gaming has also brought about a more modern style of game that incorporates classic elements – and all signs point to the future of gaming paying homage to the past.</p>\n\n<p>This piece examines some of the key questions around the retrogaming trend, including what is considered retro gaming and just why is retro gaming so popular?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"false\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"292\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https://www.facebook.com/85654423469/photos/a.10150648561633470/10153350798573470/?type=3&width=500\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" width=\"500\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>What is Retrogaming?</h2>\n\n<p>Retrogaming might have captured the imagination in a big way in recent years, but the term is apparently nothing new.</p>\n\n<p>Several websites including Fandom.com claim that the words were combined for the first time by Robert Frasure of RetroGames, which was established in the late 1990s.</p>\n\n<p>As you might expect, the company apparently dealt with classic games systems.</p>\n\n<h3>What is Considered Retro Gaming?</h3>\n\n<p>Well, a lot of people would consider retro to be simply something that is old. Retrogaming in its most basic definition refers to the first major games, which were on huge arcade machines.</p>\n\n<p>Some of the most notable offerings were <strong>Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Asteroids</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>However, back then, gaming was making exciting leaps forward year after year, with retrogaming <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> and <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC titles</a> like Dragon Warrior and Wasteland following.</p>\n\n<p>Then came the retrogaming classics for consoles that everyone remembers, including <strong>Sonic the Hedgehog </strong>and <strong>Super Mario Bros.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Of course, your own answer to the question of what is considered retro gaming will depend on when you were born.</p>\n\n<p>It normally relates to the games that were around during your childhood - including elements of technology that have long been surpassed by innovations - and that, in a way, links into the issue of why retro gaming is so popular. </p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, it revolves around titles that stir up feelings of nostalgia within you now. </p>\n\n<p>Just imagine, in another 30 years’ time, big-selling franchises like Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed could well be retrogaming classics.</p>\n\n<h2>The Rise of Retrogaming</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/eI4hsOTQZME\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n  \n\n<p>As you now have some idea of the answer to \"why is retro gaming so popular?\", it is time to consider how it has grown.</p>\n\n<p>Some gamers may have used emulators to get a taste of retrogaming in the past. On a basic level, this software allows you to simulate another system on devices like PCs, with this opening up possibilities for you to play old-school games from years gone by.</p>\n\n<p>However, in more recent years, many people may have replied to the question of \"what is considered retro gaming?\" by referencing the trend of companies making new versions of old machines.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Classic Games in Modern Environments</h2>\n\n<p>The sales of the NES Classic Edition show just how hungry the gaming population is for old-school games.</p>\n\n<p>Between November 2016 and April 2017, Nintendo made 2.3 million models of the console that emulated its landmark 1983 device. The units sold out rapidly, which led the Japanese developer to bring out the Super NES Classic Edition later in 2017.</p>\n\n<h3>A Blast from the Past</h3>\n\n<p>Other developers have gone on to make similar retrogaming-themed moves. For instance, Sega’s Mega Drive Mini featured around 40 classic titles from the console’s heyday, as well as two three-button control pads.</p>\n\n<p>However, another answer to why retro games are so popular, could be the fact it has become a real social activity in recent times. The increase in the number of gaming bars across the US has helped retrogaming really come to the fore.</p>\n\n<p>Retrogaming bars are in fashion, as they provide drinkers with the opportunity to bond and connect over old-school video games and console classics. The fact that the games provide players with feelings of nostalgia helps add to their appeal.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/i_OjztdQ8iw\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>A New Style of Retrogaming</h2>\n\n<p>When you are thinking about what is considered retro gaming, it is worth touching upon how the notion might apply to modern titles that embrace elements of gaming’s history.</p>\n\n<p>Pokémon Go is a prime example of this, and it remains one of the biggest mobile games available right now. But why is retro gaming so popular in this form?</p>\n\n<p>Well, Niantic’s state-of-the-art game makes use of a fresh innovation like augmented reality technology, but then combines it with the collectible monster characters initially introduced in the original Pokémon games for the Nintendo Game Boy.</p>\n\n<p>The title might have been released back in 2016, but it remains hugely popular. At the end of 2020, figures from Sensor Tower suggested that it had generated $1 billion in the first ten months of that year alone.</p>\n\n<p>It was also thought to have reached more than $4 billion in player spending worldwide, with its biggest markets being the US, Japan and Germany.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/gmwbHdJLadE\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>What is the Future Looking Like for Retro Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p>The chances are that gaming experts will be answering the question \"Why is retro gaming so popular?\" for many years to come. This is because games that use retro ideas, themes and gameplay have proven to be a sure-fire way to bring in players.</p>\n\n<p>Pokemon Go is clearly an example of that, so do not be surprised if developers look to replicate that game’s success.</p>\n\n<h3>Nostalgic Times to Come</h3>\n\n<p>In fact, many classic names from gaming’s past have been making a comeback in recent years, with new titles based on the likes of Pac-Man, Tetris and Crash Bandicoot emerging.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, as the definition of a retro video game changes as time moves forward, retro games are likely to stay at the forefront of mainstream gaming for many years to come.</p>\n\n<p>For example, considering current trends, who would bet against the release of new versions of consoles like the original Xbox?</p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, gaming might always be moving forward, but it clearly has one big eye on the past these days.  </p>\n","date":"11/18/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/5_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13353"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mxr-plays-henry-and-jeannie/"},"strings":{"title":"Henry and Jeannie from MxR Plays on Navigating YouTube Stardom as a Couple","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<meta charset=\"utf-8\" />\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Everyone<a href=\"http://company.plarium.com/\"> working at Plarium</a> was buzzing with excitement when news broke that YouTube stars <strong>Henry and Jeannie from MxR Plays</strong> were heading over to visit us in the Ukraine. However, the pair did let slip on their arrival that it was not just their desire to meet the team behind<a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\"> Raid: Shadow Legends</a> that made them head to the country alongside a host of other leading YouTube stars and influencers, <a href=\"/en/blog/youtuber-mmg-of-the-channel-mmg/\">including MMG</a>.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Putting his cards on the table at the first opportunity, Henry explained candidly: <cite>\"I wanted to jump out of a plane.\"</cite> He then added how he remained surprised that Jeannie had actually chosen to join him for the adrenaline-fueled activity.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: <cite>\"I showed her the packet of all the details you guys put together of what we were going to do. I’m like, Jeannie look at this, there’s a cool tavern thing where everyone is going to dress up. There’s no danger in that – that's fun. So, I think she saw that, and then she was convinced, like, maybe it might be worth it.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jeannie, however, remembers it differently. <cite>\"Yeah, no, surprisingly the sky diving thing was the one you opened up with,\"</cite> she outlined, before adding: <cite>\"but I was like, okay, you convinced me.\"</cite></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">MxR Plays' Great Chemistry</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The playful teasing and conversations between Henry and Jeannie are undoubtedly part of what makes the couple’s chemistry on the <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/MxRPlays/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">MxR Plays channel</a> work so well. Their presence on YouTube has taken on several forms through the years, but throughout it has always remained very successful. In fact, at the time of writing, the channel has attracted more than 900,000 subscribers, while some videos have achieved over a million views.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the MxR Plays channel was initially based around mods for Skyrim and Fallout, the pair decided to change things up and, in their words, <cite>\"tried everything\"</cite>. This included vlogging about events in their own lives, trying to cook food from video games like Skyrim in the real world, and doing box openings of various different items.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">These days, the channel is generally based around reacting to some of the stranger, darker memes and images that have found their way onto the world wide web. But while they have been through a range of different styles of content during their time together, how did MxR Plays actually get started?</p>\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/JFezh-jCthQ\" width=\"560\"></iframe>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Going Back to the Beginning of MxR Plays</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In their words, the couple’s <cite>\"pretty long story\"</cite> together begins back in 2011 when Henry created MxR Mods. A few years later, around 2014, a Skyrim mod called Recorder went on to catch his eye and left him intrigued. It subsequently emerged that the mod in question had been created by Jeannie.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>\"I saw her mod, and I was really fascinated. I thought her voice acting was really good. And she's one of the best followers I've ever trialed.\"</cite> he recalled. After that initial moment when their worlds collided, the pair’s relationship started to develop when Henry went on to undertake a Q&A with Jeannie on Snapchat. Finally, things went to a whole new level when Henry confirmed that he was heading to Los Angeles and wanted some advice about the city.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: <cite>\"I asked who wants to show me around LA, because I just moved to LA. She was the first one to email me. And then we just shot a vlog, and then after that…\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>\"It hit off!\"</cite> Jeannie added.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Henry finished his thought: <cite>\"Then I asked her on a date.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the pair, of course, have a long background in the world of video gaming, which is linked to Skyrim and Fallout, one of the more surprising revelations to emerge during our chat is that – bar Raid: Shadow Legends – they don’t tend to get much time to enjoy the <a href=\"/en/games/category/new-games/\">latest titles</a> these days.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>\"Only thing we don’t really do anymore is play, that’s for sure,\"</cite> explained Henry. <cite>\"unless it’s Raid: Shadow Legends.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jeannie added: <cite>\"We don’t play – even though our name is MxR Plays.\"</cite></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Time for Raid to go Disney?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking of Raid: Shadow Legends, during the course of our interview the couple had a few thoughts on some intriguing additions that could be made to the game via an unrelated conversation on Disney princesses.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The interaction began with us mentioning the popularity of their Disney-related videos which, in some cases, have generated <strong>more than a million views</strong>. One notable one sees their pair react to and dissect images that have been created on the premise of; what would happen if Disney princesses were 50 percent more realistic. Our question was simple – <strong>if you were a Disney princess who would you be and why?</strong></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While Jeannie was immediately excited by the question, Henry’s general lack of knowledge of the area came to the fore. He said: <cite>\"Probably, probably, Little Mermaid. Is she a princess?\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>\"Yes, she is a princess of the sea.\"</cite> Jeannie added, helpfully.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Henry explained: <em>\"I want to go to Atlantis, and I can’t really swim in real life, so if I could be a little mermaid, I think literally I wouldn’t have any trouble with that.\"</em></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the flipside, Jeannie opted for the lead character from Beauty and the Beast, explaining: <cite>\"I feel like if there’s a Disney princess that most represents me, it’s Belle, because she reads books all the time and she's all about knowledge.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Asked which of the princesses they would add to Raid, Henry was quick to answer with <cite>\"the one with the dwarves.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He then added: <cite>\"Snow White, because she can then command all the dwarfs to do her bidding. Can you imagine that? You can literally summon like seven dwarves to kick everyone’s ass. Those bosses with their three sidekicks don't stand a chance against seven dwarves.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The logic of the answer clearly took Jeannie back ever so slightly, as she added: <cite>\"Oh, that’s actually pretty smart.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img alt=\" Henry and Jeannie of MxR Plays\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/6.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Making Time for Each Other</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As we have already touched upon, one element that certainly makes Jeannie and Henry’s YouTube channel more intriguing is the fact that they are an actual item in real life. During our chat together, this, of course, begged the question – after spending hours filming their video content for the channel, do they actually find the time to do normal couple stuff and have time together away from the camera?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jeannie explained that, in the past, it was all about making the most of short periods together, explaining: <cite>\"We would only see each other for the weekend, like only twice a week, but during those two times… actually, I would only film with him for maybe four hours or so, and then the rest of the day we spend like making dinner, going out, exploring.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Henry added that the fact that they now live together has changed the dynamic: <cite>\"She recently moved in though, so now we have all the time in the world, but prior… yeah, it was pretty tough. But we got through it. I think it's because we also enjoy our recording times. We just try and make time for us. That’s important.\"</cite></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Words of Advice from MxR Plays</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Following that question, it also seemed like there was only one way to round off our interview in general. With YouTube proving to be such a popular platform and so many young people, in particular, looking to get into the world of content creation, what advice do Henry and Jeannie have for those who are seriously <a href=\"/en/blog/become-a-streamer/\">looking to get started</a> within that world?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Fun seems to be a vital component, as Henry was very quick off the mark to state that a key aspect of making videos is to not try and take it too seriously. He built on that comment by reflecting on his own outlook in the past, adding: <cite>\"I used to do this in the beginning, I would sometimes criticize Jeannie, like, oh maybe you should try and say it this way, or try and be more like this.</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>\"But I realized, like, just relax. Just enjoy your time. Just have fun. Don't get too technical. Don’t be too serious, because if there’s any kind of bad vibe in there, it really shows in the video, and then it just ruins the whole thing. So it’s like... just don’t think about it.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jeannie offers up a shorter and more philosophical response, adding simply: <cite>\"Be very organic.\"</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Considering the huge success that these two have been able to enjoy by simply being natural on their much-loved YouTube channel, that undoubtedly seems like a good piece of advice to live by.</p>\n","date":"3/11/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/06.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13338"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/joerg-sprave-interview/"},"strings":{"title":"The Slingshot Channel's Joerg Sprave's Unconventional Journey to YouTube Stardom","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">From the moment you open up <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/JoergSprave\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The SlingShot Channel</a> on YouTube, you get a sense that it isn’t any regular corner of the internet.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The welcome video’s raging riffs and array of weaponry immediately signal that on this channel, you won't just get another YouTuber staring down a camera as they discuss video games or the latest goings-on in their lives. Nope, SlingShot has a devotion to dealing with four simple things: inventions, reviews, stunts and <em>destruction</em>.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is certainly an action-packed channel with a unique sense of style, but all of that makes complete sense when you consider that the man behind its success is <em>far </em>from your \"normal\" YouTuber.</p>\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/2t4ojjzJJZ4\" width=\"560\"></iframe>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Breaking the mould</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One thing that immediately becomes apparent when you watch a couple of SlingShot videos (aka JoergSprave videos) is that the channel’s founder Joerg Sprave is clearly having a ball. Now in his 50s, he breaks the mould when it comes to the regular stereotype of YouTubers being from the younger generations. Perhaps even more intriguingly, he left a role at a large corporation which created video editing software in order to chase success on the platform – and it is fair to say he has achieved it.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the time of writing, The SlingShot Channel has in the region of <strong>2.5 million subscribers</strong>, with people from across the globe checking out Joerg’s latest incredible inventions and extreme range of stunts. The viewing figures are simply incredible, with his most-watched piece on Katana swords racking up <em>more </em>than <strong>17 million views</strong> and a piece on throwing playing cards being watched by around <strong>10 million people</strong>.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Slingshot & the Condom Challenge</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Furthermore, the channel also enjoyed some viral success and major headlines thanks to a video in which Joerg responded to the<em> Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Condom Challenge</em>. The initiative is all about improving and boosting the use of condoms, so the SlingShot Channel thought it would lend a hand by creating a slingshot designed specifically for applying the items. The number of views achieved by the video featuring the impressive – if painful-looking – device? Only around 6.5 million.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sitting down to speak to us, Joerg is quick to make a little disclaimer about his work and the risks that are involved, explaining: <cite>“The things that I do are usually very dangerous, and not safe. And nobody should do it at home, but I enjoy it and my fans enjoy it too, fortunately.”</cite></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">A different lifestyle</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When you are deep in conversation with Joerg, it is clear he cannot hide the love that he has for the work he does on the channel. However, he is also candid during our interview about the lifestyle changes he has gone through since embracing it as a full-time venture.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He says: <cite><var>“I used to make a lot of money being in a vice president position at a big corporation. Going back to being self-employed was a major step, just walking away from such an income isn't easy, but I think it was really good changing because now my day is completely different.</var></cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite><var>“I no longer have to wear a suit and tie just because I work for a German company, that's how you’re supposed to show up.”</var></cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While he has admittedly ditched the suit for the most part, Joerg has got it back out of the wardrobe recently for a couple of videos related to another YouTube venture he is now involved in. He has been able to call on his years of business experience to become the driving force behind the YouTubers Union, which last year launched a joint initiative known as <strong>FairTube</strong> with the German union IG Metall. The aim? To boost fairness and transparency for content creators using the site.</p>\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/q7RfYt_p2mk\" width=\"560\"></iframe>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While we didn’t get a chance to talk to him about the issue, it is a very intriguing project which has suggested a range of proposals designed to provide more support to those using YouTube. These include calls for all categories and decision criteria that affect monetisation and views of videos to be published, as well as clearer explanations on individual decisions made related to the advertiser-friendly content guidelines. The initiative is also calling for YouTubers to have an actual go-to contact that is qualified to explain and discuss issues with them.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Big Fan of Gaming</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Considering he has the day-to-day running of his channel and the battle for YouTuber rights to think about, it is maybe unsurprising when Joerg mentions that he does not have too much time to embrace his long-standing love of <a href=\"/en/games/\">video games</a> at the moment. However, while we know he is a big fan of <a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\">Raid: Shadow Legends</a>, what other titles has he been playing when the opportunity arises?</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He outlines: <cite>“I play a few other RPGs a lot. So that was fun, I did that too. And every now and then, I like to play card games just like poker games and so on. But as I said, not very often because of lack of time.”</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Time to sit down and enjoy some gaming may be in short supply, but that didn’t stop Joerg from visiting Gamescom shortly before our interview. As he talks about his “overwhelming experience” at the event, it quickly becomes clear just how his success goes on to affect his life when he is out and about in public.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>“The amount of money game companies spent on their booths there is mind-blowing. And of course, it took me forever to go from one end of the show to the other one, because I'm not sure how many people wanted to take a selfie with me,” he recalls.</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><cite>“As soon as I started to give someone a selfie, you know like the line would form up and I would be trapped in there for maybe 20 minutes. I enjoyed it but I was also very exhausted.”</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img alt=\"Joerg Sprave\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/1.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Embracing the freedom</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But while the SlingShot Channel has seemingly absorbed his time and also left Sprave facing the tiring tasks which are associated with celebrity status, he remains happy and grateful for everything that has happened following his massive YouTube success.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Furthermore, he unsurprisingly mentions weaponry when talking about the sense of freedom he enjoys, outlining: <cite>“I'm my own boss, I can do what I want, and I can just wake up in the morning, if I feel like building another crossbow, I will build another crossbow.”</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He adds that he views his career as “the life of an artist”, explaining: “<cite>As an artist, your income is very unstable, you have really good months and you have really bad months and everything in between. I know it is the best move I’ve ever made and I’m very grateful for the opportunity that I could turn into an artist after so many years being a professional manager.”</cite></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He is certainly making the most of it and it will be fascinating to see where Joerg’s unconventional journey takes him next!</p>\n","date":"2/16/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/test2.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13337"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/professor-akali-interview/"},"strings":{"title":"An Inside Look at Competitive Gaming and LoL with Professor Akali","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"540000","description":"<p dir=\"ltr\">In 2020, competitive gaming, eSports, streaming, and gaming influencers are bigger than ever. The eSports scene is growing at an exponential rate, and there’s a lot of space for gamers to make a name for themselves in the industry.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Exploring the current state of play, Plarium sat down with an influencer who certainly has an interesting perspective on the world of gaming. In their interview, we managed to get some key insight into modern competitive gaming. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For us, there was no better personality to interview than Professor Akali, a former competitive gamer-turned-YouTube star. These days, he posts regular League of Legends content on his channels. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Without further ado, let's find out Professor Akali’s thoughts on the competitive gaming scene, where LoL is heading and much more, in an exclusive interview. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Who is Professor Akali?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali’s real name is Kevin Payaam Maroufkhani. He is a former challenger, professional League of Legends player, and gaming coach. Since 2016, Professor Akali has been running his own popular YouTube channel, which features League of Legends guides and LoL entertainment videos.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The influencer’s channel, aptly named \"Professor Akali,\" boasts over 758,000 subscribers and over 900 videos. It’s simply a huge channel for any League of Legends fan, with plenty of helpful and entertaining streams.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali’s first video, \"Winning A Diamond Ranked Game In Two Plays Ft. Best Akali KR,\" went live on YouTube all the way back on August 21, 2016. Growing immensely in popularity in the years since, the videos he creates now get hundreds of thousands of views.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">His most popular creation to date is \"Professor Akali vs. 5 Bronze Players (1v5) – League of Legends,\" which has over 2.2 million views. Along with his most popular video to date, Professor Akali has nine other streams that have eclipsed one million views. He has certainly earned a mighty audience of gamers within the League of Legends community, if not with eSports fans at large.</p>\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/sIIFhmA_lko\" width=\"560\"></iframe>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Which Champion Does Professor Akali Use?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali predominantly uses the rogue assassin Akali as his champion when playing League of Legends. As his name would suggest, the player has an affinity for the moderately difficult assassin champion.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But why does Professor Akali use Akali in LoL? When asked why he’s so attached to the character, Professor Akali responded, \"She is by far the most fun character in the game to play.” Akali is a strong player in the game, which is likely why <a href=\"https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/riot-previews-league-patch-10-3-changes-to-akali-yuumi-senna-and-aphelios\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">she was nerfed in the most recent 10.3 patch</a>, but the Professor's reply reminds us how it’s important to use fun champions as well as strong champions.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of the reasons why Professor Akali has been able to reach the heights of pro gaming is precisely because he enjoys using Akali. This has, in turn, made it much easier for him to put in the hours it takes to become a great player and streamer.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We also asked what makes him so much better at using Akali than his fellow influencers. He teasingly responded that he is just better at the game than his counterparts. Of course, the point was also made that he also plays as Akali thousands of times a year.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As anyone who has played League of Legends will know, there is a distinct difference between experienced players and noobs. In games like LoL and DOTA 2, there's a grand learning curve and many aspects to become familiar with if you hope to be a competitive player.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Outsiders often perceive professional gaming as a hobby of little effort. This is because gaming is, for most people, a leisurely and entertaining activity. Getting to the penthouse of pro gaming, though, takes thousands of hours of practice and strategizing. Professor Akali shows this as he explains how dedicated he is to just one champion on League of Legend.</p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What's His Take on PC vs Console Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gaming on PC offers the player more controls and functions, which increases the skill that can be used in-game, says the pro. Professor Akali explains that the options on console controllers are too narrow to compete competitively, and we know quite a lot of his peers who would agree.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img alt=\"Professor Akali\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/company/Blog/Articles/2020/february/influencers/2.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to the former League of Legends pro, console controllers are simply too small and limited for competition. He told us that a small controller of around 14 buttons doesn't give players enough of a range of controls as compared to the keyboard. Professor Alkali aptly finished his point by saying, \"if you think that you can play competitively with an Xbox controller, you’re delusional.\"</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It’s easy to see why this is the case just by looking at the new games coming onto the scene. New titles aspire to the gameplay and skill levels in the likes of DOTA 2 and League of Legends. Developers want to replicate the immense depth and skill required to play their games to become respected competitive PC titles. This can be seen in the design and depth of PvP Arena battle title <a href=\"/en/plarium-play/\">Raid: Shadow Legends on PC</a>. With over 300 champions, epic boss battles, and over one million builds, Raid offers the depth desired by gamers. Due to the nature of the intense PvP arena, players are also required to learn the game and develop the skill to rise up the ranks - as it goes with almost every successful game worth the trouble.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What is the Worst Part of Solo Queue?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali believes that the worst part of a solo queue game is players who talk, chat, or moan too much. Simply put, players who are concentrated on winning don’t tend to do much typing. So, in LoL, you can tell who is going to be annoying in the game by their volume of chatter.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali stated that people who vent are the most annoying: “More specifically, the jungler always frigging cries.” In his experience in the professional ranks and to this day, he says that basically every high-level jungler cries in the game.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What's more, Alkali says that there’s one situation that always gets the jungler moaning: When the game is around two minutes in, and the mid-laner doesn’t have pressure, he can’t roam to help the jungler. But the jungler wants help because they suck and get invaded. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Clearly, Professor Akali doesn't have much time for junglers who can't do their jobs and moan for help when things aren't going their way. In competitive LoL, the best way for a team to rise to the top is for everyone to be pulling their weight well in their own space. In the early game, the mid-laner can't give up their post to help the jungler, so there's no point crying for help.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you happen to play jungler and are still reading at this point, the advice the pro has for you is that if you don’t want to get under the skin of your teammates, you’d best avoid crying in the chat and instead work on not getting invaded early on. </p>\n\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What Does Professor Akali Think of Competitive Mobile Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Interestingly, Professor Akali sees a strong future for competitive mobile gaming. His view is primarily based on the fact that mobile devices are getting stronger, and mobile games are developing rapidly.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It may not be up to the standards of PC gaming, but we can all admit that we've sunk a fair bit of time in a free mobile game. Most of us have also spent a bit of money on some microtransactions too. Mobile gaming is simply too diverse, easy, and convenient for it not to appeal to everyone - let alone to gamers. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mobile gaming can still best be described as a guilty pleasure by most. The platform has a bit of stigma due to the games seemingly being inferior to console and PC games. Professor Akali used to be of the thinking that mobile games aren't good enough to be competitive. However, he’s since come around on the idea, despite the obvious difference in controls here too.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When asked if he sees a future for competitive games on mobile, he said:</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">“I used to not think so, but considering how mobile games are evolving so rapidly – in terms of how smoothly they run and all these things – and computers are not [evolving].  Mobile devices are getting stupidly strong, to the point where they’re like a computer from a year or two ago. I would say there’s definitely a very strong chance [that there’s a future for competitive mobile games], and, on top of that, the last fact is: So many people like mobile games.”</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That's a fair point if we've ever seen one. As pretty much all of us have mobiles in our pockets and mobile games are so easily accessed, it shouldn't be surprising that mobile games are so popular. The mobile scene has become much more competitive and now there are loads of high-quality games available. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now, mobile gaming is at a place where it wants to expand alongside the growing eSports industry. Of course, mobiles aren’t quite ready for sprawling MOBAs – mostly due to the limited controls available. But well-balanced and highly-competitive games are still making it to mobile devices.<a href=\"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/\"> A prime example of this is Raid</a>, which has delivered top-class competitive mobile gaming by adapting the PC version to be compatible with the small screen. It has the depth and customization options that competitive players seek, but with mobile-optimized controls.</p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Why Is Online Gaming Better Than Classic Card Games like Poker?</h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali has dabbled in the poker scene in the past but says that he doesn’t like the game anymore. </p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking on his experiences on the poker scene at a competitive level, Professor Akali claims that it went well - until it didn't. He enjoyed the game until he lost, which he says ended up being a net loss. In fact, the League of Legends star says he still wouldn't be recommending the game to anyone else. He says that poker is a boring and slow game - as you would expect from someone whose game time is predominantly spent in the action-packed maps of League of Legends.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We thank Professor Akali for taking the time to talk with us and giving us a look into the exciting world of competitive gaming.</p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Akali continues to put up several League of Legends videos each month, which<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDIJhfKjVYlbo5-oQvM5EqQ/featured\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"> you can check out on his channel over on YouTube</a>.  </p>\n","date":"2/11/2020"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2020/posts/week_7/influencers/02.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13336"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/twitchcon/"},"strings":{"title":"TwitchCon (2022) is Back with a BANG!"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"TwitchCon 2022 is gonna be BIG","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/twitch-con-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14873"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gaymer/"},"strings":{"title":"Are You a Gaymer?
