Esports talent in S.Korea gets boost from big business, easing of gaming ban

Esports talent in S.Korea gets boost from big business, easing of gaming ban

SEOUL, Oct 28 (Reuters) – South Korean teenager Yoon Ki-chan gets just three hours of sleep a day but spends more than three times that playing online games – with the blessing of his parents and teachers – as he dreams of becoming a top pro League of Legends player.

Yoon and his peers are the next generation of gamers in South Korea, a fast-growing esports powerhouse whose players have won Riot Games’ League of Legends World Championship six times since the most-watched esports event began in 2011.

They will also benefit from the country’s announcement in August that it would abolish a decade-old law which bans those below the age of 16 from playing online games on computers from midnight to 6 a.m, over a growing consensus that youths are increasingly using their mobile phones instead.

“I suffered a lot from the shutdown law. I typically don’t sleep a lot, so I studied different things during the shutdown hours. If it weren’t for the law, I could have been a better player by now,” said Yoon, who says he can game at least four hours more now since turning 16 this year.

South Korea’s move is in contrast to that of China, the world’s biggest esports market, which in late August drastically limited the amount of time under-18s can spend on video games to a mere three hours a week. read more

Esports will also feature as a medal sport for the first time at the Asian Games in Hangzhou next year.

“China’s game regulation could be a rather good opportunity for us to build strength and regain the esports initiative,” said Park Se-woon, vice president at Seoul Game Academy that offers programmes to nurture pros.

Park said the private academy has seen a 30-fold jump in daily consultations

Ronald Koeman sacked by Barcelona | Football News

Ronald Koeman has been sacked as head coach of Barcelona after 14 months in charge.

After weeks of speculation, Koeman’s final game was the 1-0 defeat by Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Wednesday night, their fourth defeat in six games in all competitions.

A brief statement was released on the club’s website confirming president Joan Laporta had relieved the Dutchman of his duties as first-team coach.

It added: “Ronald Koeman will say goodbye to the squad on Thursday at the Ciutat Esportiva.

“FC Barcelona wishes to thank him for his service to the club and wishes him all the best in his professional career.”

Pressure had been building on the Dutchman since a 3-0 defeat at Benfica in late September, which made this season the club’s worst-ever start to a Champions League campaign.

They succumbed to a 2-0 away loss to Atletico Madrid in La Liga on October 2, with former forward Luis Suarez scoring the second goal at the Metropolitano Stadium, and they trail league frontrunners Real Madrid by six points in the table.

How can we fight premature ?ageing

Adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, adequate rest, avoidance of smoking and a diet rich in healthy foods and fluids can be the best way to fight age.

Certain foods and beverages contain substances called phytonutrients, substances that can slow down the ageing process. Phytonutrients, part of the antioxidant family, neutralize free radicals – oxygen molecules that play an important role in triggering diseases such as osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

As we age, we become more susceptible to the long-term effects of oxidative stress (a situation in which the body has excess free radicals) and inflammation at the cellular level. The theory supports the idea that …
