Cairo, Egypt Amin SĂ£o Paulo, Brazil Mariana Mariana, how is the performance coming? You should ask your other daughter. Why her? Because she will perform too and she didn't practice last night. Yeah, I got the feeling. Seoul, South Korea Can I have the scissors? -Scissors? -Thank you. Yong-Seung I think lots of people will come today. So be prepared. Los Angeles, USA -Welcome to Summoner's Rift. -Braeden StykkishĂ³lmur, Iceland EyjĂ³ My name is EyjĂ³lfur Fannar Scheving JĂ³nsson and I'm a fisherman. -Nothing to do? -No. I started fishing in 2005 because I was 18 years old and I needed a job. So I was just forced out to sea. I like my job. I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't like it. But my dream is to work in game design. We usually fish for two to three weeks and then we are off for like four days. And we're off at the moment. Today I'm going with my dad, it will be 45 minutes sail. Reykjavik, Reykjavik. 60 04 out from StykkishĂ³lmur. And it's just blue everywhere. Just the sky and the sea. I came over to the States to really get into a house, go over strategies and train. First game of the day is always a bit sloppy. This is where I either die or I make it big. Alright, I made it big. When I was growing up, I played sports a lot. I loved going to these tournaments, these high pressure situations. That was kind of my goal for life after that, was to just win stuff. T8 right now it's like a family. -We're just here for the same goal -Linden, Braeden's Twin Brother so that we can eventually make a job out of gaming. I'm going to head topside. Whenever I told people about it, they were very skeptical. Wait, I'm going to ping this bush. Playing video games is not a job, right? I have to show them videos of the World Championships. Then they kind of start realizing how big it is. League of Legends is becoming the true sport. Our team is getting ready for the promotional series. If you win, you get a salary, you get exposure. You are able to make a job out of gaming. This is pretty much everything we've been working for and it's going to happen in two hours. I've never done cosplay for such a large group. I don't know if I'm nervous. I guess I'm more anxious. Cosplay is about transforming into your favorite character and interpreting what they do and that's it. I've gotten all kinds of orders for weapons, hats, etc. I don't have another job. This is it. Deciding to take part in this contest today is taking it to another level. People don't get that I'm doing this because I have to do it for myself. I really want to keep on doing this for the rest of my life. Should we be going this way? Where are you trying to go? To the event. -Do you need to unload? -Yes, we do. Making robots turned my life around 180 degrees. My name is Yong-seung, Kim. My hobby is to make League of Legends characters into robots. My latest project is the new Baron Nashor robot. He's an extremely powerful neutral monster. I'm looking forward to showing it. I think people will respond well. Let's stop here and unload. Here's your hat, sweetie. Most people are creative but they don't bother to act on it. That's why I show my projects to people. We're on the most recognizable bridge in all of Egypt. It's called Qasr al-Nil. This is the main entryway to get to Tahrir Square. So when the major demonstrations happened on the 25th of January 'til the 11th of February, this is how people would get in. In 2011, Egypt erupted in revolution. More than 800 people were killed in clashes with police. Amin was 19 years old. That was the first time I ever got shot at like by a real gun like someone trying to actually kill me. My name is Amin Abu Hashem and we're in Cairo, Egypt, District of Giza. Actually I'm just going to stop. Bunch of tanks right there. There's an APC behind me. That is anti-terror, anti-riot police. It's a lot of stress just like piling and piling and piling up on top of you. League of Legends for some reason calms me down. League of Legends, for those who don't know, is an online game. How can I start? I started and I hated the game. I actually hated it. I was so bad I lost the tutorial. To be totally honest, I didn't like League of Legends. I just didn't get the game. And then I kind of realized what the game was about. Five players vs five other players. It's like five-men chess when everybody's moving at once. You're trying to get to their base and destroy it. And they're trying to do the same exact thing to you. There's a lot of strategy because you have to be a cohesive unit. You win the game by destroying an enemy building. The objective is to destroy their Nexus, which is their central point. You need to destroy this to win the game. Hello and welcome back to the 2015 Spring Promotion Tournament. I'm Max "Atlus" Anderson along with Jake "Spawn" Tiberi and we'll be your hosts for this all important best of five series between compLexity and Team 8. Right now it looks like 56% of you think that compLexity will earn the right to keep their spot. ...Robert is four into one each... We walk in the LCS Studio and we see compLexity and we're like, "Oh boy. These are the guys we're going to have to beat." Even though compLexity at LCS... They look like Gods. And it really looks like... I think everyone's thinking, "I hope we're ready for this." Can you guys hear me alright? Uh, I hear you. When you're on stage there is a lot of distractions. There's the crowd. There's the signs. There's the lights. Even the camera that's watching your face. But you have to forget it all somehow. Game's going to start. We are onto the rift everyone. A spot in an LCS is on the line in this best of five series between compLexity and Team 8. You have so much adrenaline in your body. You're so close to getting into the LCS. It's one match. Yeah, I'm going to come top early. Lee's going to be bottom side. ... is doing a good job of being outside of these minion waves so it's not giving birth. And we can see that the first gank is towards the topside. Porpoisepops coming in for another gank. The head's up is going to be a real... There is the twisted advance onto Westrice. Doesn't have the ultimate yet. Only level four. That's a brilliant pulverize blast. Is it going to be enough to triumph? Porpoisepops picks up the kill. Woah, woah, woah. Who's this Katarina? He doesn't let up! Ahmed you're taking so much harassment. So much, you can't dodge his Q? Lag, lag. DC'd, DC'd. Hey, is chat disconnected for everyone? Cairo's a harsh environment if you're never been in any Middle Eastern culture. For me to game, I need to accept that there are things beyond my control. By the way, the power went out. We're working off the generator. The server is down? The Middle East doesn't have a server, so everyone either plays in EU Nordic/East, EU West or North America. The first time I logged into a European Server, there was an overload of information.
