Mosbach.(FRH/Schat) E-Sport is very trendy, especially when the winter break is announced in real sports such as football.What movement and health experts sometimes see with suspicion is a booming market in the digital future for others.And the scene is becoming increasingly professional in the "sporty" sense.Football simulations are no longer what was known from the first computers and consoles from the 1990s.At the time, even more or less pixelated bargain or robot -like angular figures over the screen, this is now in detail on the basis of licenses to the real football stars, which also formed closer to their role models in their movement sequences.
With a fleeting gaze, almost the impression that real football games were shown in a television broadcast was shown when 2 on Sunday afternoon.Mosbach city championship was held in e-football."FIFA 22" was kicked - on PlayStations.The just over 50 registered "gamers" played from home on the Internet, while the game for spectators via the "Twitch" platform could be followed live in the stream.There was even the comment of a moderator from the E-Sport Association Rhein-Neckar, which broadcast from the clubhouse of the TSV Oftersheim, where there is its own e-sports department under the roof of a classic sports club.
For some years now there have been professional leagues in E-Football, especially in e-football.It is not yet like the real kickers in the Bundesliga, but it is already making good money.At the Mosbach city championship you are a little more modest, the focus is above all the fun of the thing and the sporting comparison.The first prize worth 500 euros (in the form of a voucher at the main sponsor driving school Academy Schäufele) was still impressive.The second winner waved a voucher from the Mosbach restaurant Ludwig in the amount of 100 euros.For the losers of the semi-finals there were also technology kits from Mobilfunk Wanner from Obrigheim.
The game was played in the so-called "90s mode" of FIFA 22, each team controlled by the player competed against an equally strong team from the technical properties of the avatars.In this respect, it was not a disadvantage if, for example, a player with the third division team SV Waldhof Mannheim was opposed to a star ensemble of Paris Saint-Germain.Thus, at least in the virtual comparison, a Lionel Messi could not necessarily be more than a Marc Schnatterer - it finally arrived at the one who steered at the controller.
The kickers had a total of five rounds of excretion with six -minute games each until the final.There were clear things as well as very tight boxes, depending on the play of the opponents.Sometimes they showed impressively what is possible and feasible: cool tricks, soulful lupfer or just get the keeper wet with the "ball roller" - the royal disciplines of dexterity could also be seen at the city championship.In a fraction of seconds, decisions must be made and the corresponding moves must be made.Plenty of training on the screen is necessary to become a really good one.
One of the very good ones is Romeo Rissling, who was involved in the city championship as "Romeo_439".The kicker, which is active for the E-Sport department of the MSV Duisburg, beat in the semifinals in a highly competitive match defending champion Belmin Karic with 2-1.Shortly before the end, KARIC conceded the decisive goal, but took it absolutely sporty: "There was great fun, such tournaments are great in general.At the city championship, the special thing is that you meet many friends, which makes it even more entertaining."
In the final, Romeo_439 at the end met Dennis Kalinovski (game name "Kali"), who prevailed in the second semi -final against Onur Satilmis (game name "FC Sambucarest").Even "Kali" could not stop Romeo, which 2: 2.Mosbach City Championship secured."A very successful new edition," was pleased after the final of the Philipp Parzer games, sports officer of the city of Mosbach.
