Ngo-2006, uRocky Stoutenburgh, owayengumdlali wehoki owayengaqeqeshwanga ngelo xesha, wayekwindlu yomhlobo wakhe xa wawa entloko waza wophuka intamo. Endleleni eya esibhedlele, akazange ayive imilenze yakhe kwaye ngokukhawuleza walahlekelwa yintshukumo kwamanye amalungu akhe.
Ndikhubazekile ukusuka esifubeni ukuhla, kwaye sekuyiminyaka eyi-14 ngoku, uxelele In The Know.
Ukuziqhelanisa nale nyaniso bekungelula ekuqaleni. Kwiinyanga ezimbini zokuqala zokuchacha kukaStoutenburgh kwakunzima kakhulu, umama wakhe uChristine wakhumbula. Ekuhambeni kwexesha, uStoutenburgh waqhelana nobomi bokuhlala kwisitulo esinamavili, njengoko usapho lwakhe lwalukhangela into ayithandayo awayenokuyonwabela nangona wayengakwazi ukuhamba.
Xa ndandisazi ukuba uza kuba nedumbe ngonaphakade, kwakungathi, kwandiqwenga ngaphakathi, watsho umntakwabo uAndrew. Ngoko ndawujika wagxila ekuzameni ukufumana into yokuba aqhubeke ephila ubomi bakhe kangangoko wayenako.
Ngelixa wayejonga i-intanethi, u-Andrew wadibana nayo I-QuadStick, intonga yovuyo esebenza ngomlomo kubadlali. I-joystick, eza kwiimodeli ezintathu ezahlukeneyo, ine-sip kunye ne-puff sensors yoxinzelelo enokuthi idityaniswe naliphi na iqhosha lokulawula umdlalo. Ixabiso layo lingahluka phakathi kwe-0 kunye ne-0.
UStoutenburgh, owavuma ukuba wayengumntu wezandla phambi kwengozi yakhe, ngokukhawuleza wamkela isixhobo esitsha, okokuqala ngokusisebenzisa ukudlala iHalo Wars, awayibiza ngokuba ngumdlalo olula ngokwenene, kwaye kamva ngokudlulela kwi-Call. woMsebenzi.
Ukuqala kwam ukufumana iQuadStick, andikhange ndilunge kangako, utshilo. Ngokwesiseko yi-analog enye enemingxunya emithathu onokuthi urhabule okanye uyifunxe kuyo kwaye emva koko ubambe umlomo ezantsi. Kodwa okukhona uyisebenzisa, kokukhona ufunda into onokuyenza, ongakwaziyo ukuyenza. Kufuneka udlale nje ngobukrelekrele hayi nzima ngokusisiseko.
Kwakungekho de iStoutenburgh ityikitywe nombutho wezemidlalo iLuminosity Gaming kwaye waqala ukusasaza eTwitch apho waqala khona ukwenza imali kwizakhono zakhe zokudlala. Kule nkqubo, waqala ukuzenzela igama njengeRocky NoHands. Ukusukela ngoko waqokelela abalandeli abangama-60,000, esophula iirekhodi ezininzi zehlabathi endleleni.
Sekunjalo, uStoutenburgh, oqikelela ukuba uya kuba nonyaka omkhulu ngakumbi ngo-2021, ukholelwa ukuba unenjongo enkulu: ukukhuthaza nokukhuthaza abo baphila nokukhubazeka okufanayo.
Ukuba umfana, ongakwaziyo ukuhambisa umzimba wakhe, unokusebenzisa umlomo wakhe ukudlala nawuphi na umdlalo wevidiyo kwaye eneneni abe ngcono kunabantu abaninzi abasebenzisa izandla zabo zokwenyani, ngoko nantoni na inokwenzeka kuyo nantoni na ofuna ukuyenza, utshilo. NdiseTwitch ukusasaza bukhoma, ndibonisa ilizwe into endinokuyenza, ndibonisa abantu ukuba 'heyi, jonga, usakwazi ukudlala imidlalo,' kukho iitoni zezixhobo onokuthi ungazi ngazo.
Ukuba uyonwabele eli bali, ungafuna ukufunda ngalo U-Ahman Green, owayesakuba ngumdlali we-NFL othe wajika ingqalelo yakhe kwi-esports.
