Its in german, but they dont use any complicated words so anyone who knows basics should understand it. This material isnt anything more than your usual esports introduction, but it is definitly well made and a good watch.

he makes more money than the average pole? hardly surprising :P

Haha ye, I also read that the money Cypher won at Quakecon represented the average income of his City during 36(!) months.

hahaha

hahaha

hahaha they're poor

Wonder if they calced the stolen shoes into that

it's in german and it's rather 'friendly' for german media.

* references the red ferrari tournament and esports in korea
* avek was born and lives currently in a 30k city in poland with 20% unemployment
* he discovered quake at 14 and abandoned his other hobbies to play quake and become world champion (eswc) at 15
* he treats gaming as a job, docu claims it pays well (3x the average income) in comparison
* avek says it's merely better than a normal job
* he has finished school by now(?) and will focus on gaming, study sometime later
* his manager (bas) claims his market value is 150k
* his parents support his gaming

He won ESWC when he was 16 years old. He couldn't participate in it when he was 15, although many people tried to convince ESWC to let him play. However, he went to the event just to be there, since Bas thought it would give him at least some experience.

actually the the vid said that he beat fatal1ty in some tournament in the usa at age 15 (prolly qcon but they don't say it and I cba to look it up) and that later he became a world champion (eswc)

true, i messed that up.

I think it was in New York, I'm not completely sure though.

MATTEO JUST THREW A CHAIR

"a country where the gaming boom hasn't really started yet - Poland"


ok.

We have one of the best Counter-Strike 1.6 and NFS players in the world, not to mention av3k in Quake Live and the Polish StarCraft scene, which in Brood War was probably the toughest in Europe. So, yeah... ok.

hence the quote ;)

gaming is not esport ?

Don't know German, so I don't know what was said exactly. But I don't think that even if they used the word "gaming," they meant something else than e-sport.

Even if, I wouldn't say that the gaming boom hasn't started here yet, either. It's pretty much the same as in the rest of Europe.

poland cannot into gaming

spotted memento_mori :>

and his girlfriend and tronicGgG :)

woot

/e: hehe n1ghty unlucky on the right

:)

but I tought the docu was in french because title of the persons are written in french:

"manager sportif sur internet"

that's eswc footage hence french.

the studio looked like it is stuck in the 70's.

whats wrong with the 70's

nothing, I was just saying.

I hope to see SG expand, it's such an awsome team.

I also hope we see some 2v2 TDM stuff in the future. Cypher+Av3k :D

1:23 you see cooller

Also if you're an av3k fan, there's some stuff from Digital Life back in 06
