Purpose Page

Here at Around the World in 80 Games, we believe that gaming is more than just a hobby or a pastime; it can be a gateway to adventure, culture, and personal growth. Some gamers dream of taking their skills to the next level by competing in tournaments, meeting like-minded people, experiencing gaming cultures in other countries, or anything else in that regard. Through this blog, I can provide insights and strategies to help gamers to rank up, share my travel experiences, offer motivation and guidance to gamers balancing games and their lives, and help people understand college Esports programs and athletes. This blog is a journey through esports and travel, proving that gaming is a worldwide experience that connects us all.

We are dedicated to inspiring gamers to explore the world, build connections, improve their skills, and discover the beauty of different cultures.

For Aspiring Gamers

This post is for the aspiring gamers that might feel like they have hit a wall or just have the feeling of giving up. You are not just "playing games." You are using games to build your discipline, focus, and using your passion to accomplish something. I have been in those similar situations where I feel like I have wasted my time. Staying up late, frustrating losses, and even doubt. With grinding comes hardship, and moments like this where it seems like no one gets it, or it feels impossible.

What If You Had to Pay to Watch Esports?

 Esports started and grew with the idea of accessibility, online and free . In traditional sports such as football or basketball, to view these games in person or even online with a streaming service costs money. So, the hypothetical question that lies here is, what if you had to pay to watch esports? If esports moved behind a paywall, would it have a positive or negative effect on the overall industry? Well, for starters, it could help transition esports to a more mainstream concept, in the same realm as traditional sports. It could also seriously generate income for the sport and even have more financial investors for not only the players but the investors too. Events themselves could also have an evolution, upgrading the amount of funding they can receive, leading to more global, polished, or even prestigious events. While this does sound good, it may come with some concerns. It could sway away popularity of esports if more fees and paywalls began to be introduced to esports. Th...
