If you’re a gamer, chances are that you have watched Rocket Jump’s Video Game High School series, and on the off chance that you haven’t, you should check it out on YouTube or Netflix. The show depicts a high school for the most elite gamers around who’s after-school sports are eSports where they have coaches and go to gaming meets to compete for the crown and prize money. That fictionalized high school setting might just be a dream for gamers, but with the growing popularity in eSport gaming both in pop culture, media and in the sporting world, it might end up being more than just a television show.
Coaching can be wearying, with long hours of reviewing gameplay much like the film sessions NFL players will sit through but when it comes to Tournament matches the story switches as it can be exhilarating. The biggest gaming proceedings span packed inside arenas with millions of screaming fans watching their players every keyboard stroke ever mouse click of their favorite player. Coaches are naturally sporting their team’s jersey and giving advises to players between matches. eSports is more than just a fad as this year alone it has generated somewhere along the lines of $140 million in the U.S alone and $600 million in global revenue. That’s just from corporate sponsorships, advertising and ticket and merchandise sales, according to SuperData Research, a New York firm that tracks the video game industry.

Take a look at two versions of the poster be
The newest job in sports right now is a video game coach. That’s right; being a coach to gamers is a real job now and the coach does everything a football or hockey coach would do from sitting down and studying past game footage to making sure all his players get along. A video game coach, or eSports coach as they’re being called, can make anywhere between $30,000 to $50,000 a year including a performance bonus and health insurance tacked on to it. eSports coaches are making about the same rate as a minor league baseball coach would make, but it would not be surprising if that was to be bumped up in the near future once the medium has taken off and grown even bigger than it already has.
Join Naughty Dog and the cast of The Last of Us Part II as they discuss the making of the cutscene teaser trailer that was revealed just a few short weeks ago at Paris Games Week.

Of course, Timetravel6000v2’s art isn’t the first fan-made recreation of this particular Justice League poster. Shortly after it debuted during SDCC, a fan put an Avengers spin on the poster as a preview of Marvel Studios’ upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War . It’s not surprising that this Justice League poster has inspired so many recreations considering the original is itself an homage to classic DC Comics artwork created by artist Alex R
The mon (family crest) in the logo of the game is actually fictional. It was selected among a few different options designed by Connell, while Katami-san made sure that it was the most authentic and believable for the time period, and matched the mountains of Tsushima. It’s the family crest of “Jin Sakame”. I don’t believe this has been officially confirmed just yet, Strategynewsbase.Com but this is probably the name of the protagon
The reason why Sucker Punch moved away from inFamous and created something completely different is that they have done something for a long time, and they wanted to try something else. It was a “huge risk,” but according to Harper it was “so worth
“With our first game Rend , we are delivering on the fantasy players expect from a survival game while also challenging the traditional mold by introducing new experiences and solving many of the genre’s accepted player pain points. Our team has been fortunate to work at many of the industry’s leading studios throughout our careers so we have learned valuable key lessons along the way that we are now applying to our studio’s development philosophy and game making proce
The team went to Tsushima twice with two different groups of developers. The second time, it was during a festival commemorating the Mongol invasion, and that was an “amazing experience” according to Harper. They even visited a local high school to see historical Mongol artifa
The future is transcending into something more digital. All around we can see its effects bleeding over into our sporting events, which will soon probably have their own major league followed by their own version of a “super bowl.” It wouldn’t be the least surprising at all if we were to see a college version of the sport to pop-up on the collegic side of the league in the near future. High schools may never see the sport enter into their halls and toss down banners over the gym walls as they hang proud next to other more traditional physical sports, but many colleges would want to invest and jump in on the quickly rising sport before they miss the lucrative money train.
