ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., Nov. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As high school esports booms in popularity, the North America Scholastic Esports Federation (NASEF) is kicking off registration for 2019 events, including several free esports tournaments plus new creative competitions - all with an intentional design that embeds learning into the myriad aspects of club and team participation.

For winter 2019, NASEF has selected Riot Games' League of Legends for the season-long tournament. To compete in that event, Clubs must be active in NASEF and designate a team by January 16, 2019. "Extra Credit" mini-tournaments will be offered in Rocket League and Fortnite, and new this season - a fan favorite title. NASEF participants will vote for their preferred game, and a mini-tournament will be organized around the title with the most votes. Clubs will be able to opt-in to those events throughout the spring.

Many students are drawn to esports for the creative aspects, not just the competition. To that end, NASEF is implementing several "Beyond the Game" creative challenges tied to careers, including designing a logo, shoutcasting a game, producing a highlights video, and more. Details will be provided to member Clubs through the free General Manager online portal.

Mark Deppe, commissioner of NASEF, said, "We've prepared an exciting line-up of games and activities that tap into high schoolers' love of all aspects of esports. Students are thrilled that their competitive and creative talents are now legitimized with official Clubs in their schools and community groups. Educators are embracing the learning environment that NASEF Clubs create. Parents report that their previously-disconnected students are now more engaged in school because of their affiliation with the esports Club. These are remarkable results after just one year!"

"With support for League of Legends in high schools and colleges accelerating, we're excited to partner with NASEF on their mission to leverage games for the development of teens' life and work skills." said Matt Birris, Scholastic Program Lead for Riot Games in North America. "Our goal is to make League of Legends an inclusive, generational sport; NASEF's program creates new growth opportunities for the next generation of students."

NASEF's unique esports Club environment enables students to pursue their chosen hobby with their friends - at the same time receiving positive guidance from mentors and learning how their unique talents can be applied to future careers.

Participation in NASEF is free. High schools and community organizations for teens are encouraged to activate a NASEF Club and gain access to workshops, clinics, and Coaches Corner sessions, plus enter any combination of tournaments or creative challenges that they choose. All high school teams are encouraged to form a NASEF Club even if they belong to other leagues, so that they can access the variety of free educational resources for esports enthusiasts.

About the North America Scholastic Esports Federation
The North America Scholastic Esports Federation is working to ensure that ALL students possess the knowledge and skills needed to be society's game changers: educated, productive, and empathetic individuals. NASEF is on a mission to provide opportunities for ALL students to use esports as a platform to acquire critical communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills needed to thrive in work and in life. The Federation's core values are intertwined through all aspects of education and play: learning, opportunity, community, diversity, and respect.

Under the Samueli Foundation's leadership, the Federation is led by partners from the Orange County Department of Education, OC STEM Initiative, Connected Camps, Connected Learning Lab, UCI Esports, UCI Henry Samueli School of Engineering, and the UCI Bren School of Information & Computer Science.

Game streaming has grown to become a huge part of the Internet. It's so big that Amazon and Google were both looking to spend big bucks to acquire top game streaming website Twitch. The deal eventually went to Amazon, which spent $970 million dollars for the service. That amount may seem odd for people who aren't familiar with the service, but Twitch's traffic is huge. In fact, Twitch gaming streams generate more traffic than HBO Go.

Interested in broadcasting your gameplay to the world? This guide will tell you everything you need to know about setting up a Twitch game stream.

Creating an account

The first thing you will want to do is sign up for a free account over at Twitch.tv. You aren't required to have an account to watch or comment on streams, although you do get more features by signing up for one. In addition to creating your own videos, signing up for an account will allow you to message and interact with other users, follow streams, and more.

Once you have created your account, I recommend going to the Twitch settings, clicking on the Channel and Videos tab, and checking the "Automatically archive my broadcasts" box. This won't save old streams forever, however they will be stored on your channel for the next 14 days. You will also have the ability to export older broadcasts to YouTube and create video highlights that will be saved on your Twitch channel forever.

Now the fun begins. It's time to start choose your streaming platform.

Choosing your platform

You can stream games directly from your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One game consoles, or on your PC using additional software.

Streaming on a PlayStation 4

It's relatively easy to stream on the PlayStation 4. All you need is the console, a DualShock 4 controller, a game to play, a stable Internet connection, and a PlayStation 4 camera, which will allow others to see and hear you.

You first need to login to your account. To start, press the Share button on the controller while playing a game. Select Broadcast Gameplay, followed by Twitch, click on "Go to the Twitch website," and login to your account. To actually begin broadcasting, once again press the Share button, select Broadcast Gameplay, followed by Twitch, and click Start Broadcast.

It's as easy as that. You can view Twitch comments and tweak your steaming settings by pressing the Share button while streaming and selecting Broadcast Settings.

Streaming on an Xbox One

It's a little more complicated to start streaming on the Xbox One. You will need a console, an Xbox One controller, an Xbox One Kinect camera, a stable Internet connection, and a game to play.

Sign in to your Microsoft account and download the free Twitch app from the Xbox Live store. Once it has been installed, open the app and click on Broadcast. A 6-digit code will appear on the screen which you will have to enter at the Twitch website to activate the device.

The Xbox privacy settings must be set to Adult before you can begin broadcasting your own gameplay. This can be done by going to the Xbox settings, clicking on the "Privacy & online safety" option, and selecting "Adult default." In the Preferences section of the settings menu, make sure the "Allow broadcasts and Game DVR uploads" option is enabled.

To broadcast, open the game you would like to play and say "Xbox Broadcast." You can also start the broadcast inside of the Twitch app. To stop your broadcast, use the voice command "Xbox Stop Broadcast."

Streaming from your PC

Streaming from a PC isn't nearly as easy as it is on the PS4 or Xbox One, but it's nothing you can't handle. You should know, however, that not every computer is capable of streaming, While the requirements change depending on the games you plan to stream, I recommend having at least 4GB of RAM, a high-end graphics card (GeForce or Radeon with support for DirectX 10.1) , and a powerful processor, such as a second generation Intel Core i5 or Core i7.

These specs will make it easy to stream popular games like Dota 2, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Titanfall, or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. As is the case with streaming on the PS4 and Xbox One, you will also want a camera and a stable Internet connection, in addition to a headset with a microphone.

There are a variety of programs available for broadcasting your gameplay, but I found the easiest way to stream is using a software called XSplit Gamecaster. Create an account on the XSplit website and download the Gamecaster software. Once it has been installed, launch the program, login into your XSplit account, and grant Gamecaster access to live stream to Twitch. This can be done by clicking on the "Open Authentication Window" box and signing into your Twitch account.

Then just simply launch a game you want to broadcast, click the CTRL and Tab key after it has launched, and select the "Stream" option. From this menu you can also enable your webcam, change video and audio settings, and more.

While the Gamecaster software is free and easy to use, it does have its flaws. The company charges a monthly fee for a premium license, which opens the door to more features. Without the license, your HD streams will include a watermark of the company's logo and your frame-per-second will be limited.

If this is a problem for you, I recommend checking out Open Broadcast Software. The program, which is also known as OBS, is open source and available for free. It can be a bit more complicated to use, but this guide from Twitch will help you get started.

Finding a game and building an audience

The hardest part about streaming isn't setting up the software, it's building an audience. No one wants to have a stream with no viewers. That's why I spoke to current game streamers about what new users could do to build an audience.

Choose a popular game

Most people aren't going to watch a streamer who plays an unpopular game. The people I spoke to recommended choosing new games or older ones with large followings. Dota 2 and League of Legends are both incredibly popular, as are first person shooters like Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Titanfall, and Call of Duty. Other games to check out include Diablo 3, World of Warcraft, Minecraft, Starcraft II, Day Z, FIFA, and Madden.

Be good at the game you choose

No one wants to watch someone die over and over again. You should be relatively good at the game you plan to stream.

Keep to a schedule

Try to be consistent and keep to a schedule to make it easier for viewers to follow you.

Be entertaining

You have to do more than just play the game. You have to entertain your audience. Make jokes, comment on pop culture, talk about current events, do something to keep them coming back for more.

Promote yourself on social media

Use platform like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ to inform your audience about new streams, gaming new, and upcoming promotions.

Keep them coming back for more

Whether it's skins for CS:GO, Riot Points on League of Legends, or an in-game item on World of Warcraft, people love free stuff. Giveaways are a great way to build an audience, but be sure to make it a requirement that those entering into your giveaway are also following your stream.

Understanding the different roles of LoL

# data[].attributes.body
#LoL

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Roles are the cornerstone of how LoL is played and if you are unaware of what the roles are or what they mean, then understanding a game of League of Legends can be difficult. Why is that champion just standing there not hitting anything? If this is a question you have ever asked yourself, then this simple guide should explain everything you need to know.

ADC

The ADC, which stands for attack damage carry, is the main damage hitting champion on your team. There is usually a trade-off though, with the high damage comes a low defence and they can be especially squishy (die easily), which is why they are more often than not coupled with a support player to help them and protect them.

Bettors should remember that good vision is important and spotting a squishy champion with poor vision can often mean ganks against them will be successful.

Often a ranged champion, which is primarily due to their low health, the main role of an ADC is to eliminate the other ADC and pick off the rest of the champions as well. One of the most important roles in the team, this type of champion will usually be found in the bottom lane of the map.

There are rare occasions where this champion (along with the support) will swap lanes and play on the top side of the map for the laning phase. This is usually composition dependent. If one side has a strong solo laner with high sustain and harassing potential, while the opposition does not, swapping lanes can sometimes provide a good early game lead for your side.

Support

The support player is coupled with the ADC and is mainly used to help the ADC in any way he can to get kills, protect him with his abilities and provide vision for the ADC and the rest of the team by using wards or trinkets. Usually low on damage and high on hit points, they can be used as well to tank damage and distract the enemy onslaught (enabling the champions with higher damage to eliminate them).

There are different types of support champions, some are more defensive and some are more for playing aggressive, but most of them have some abilities for both.

Jungler

There are three lanes on the Summoner's Rift (the LoL map) but five champions so the Jungler will spend most of their time between the lanes in the area of the map called the jungle. The primary reason for having a Jungler is to utilise the largest amount of the gold and experience points (XP) on the Summoner's Rift at any one time.

Minions spawn in waves and upon killing a wave, you must wait for the next one before you can gain any gold or XP. If your team didn't have a Jungler, the first wave of minions will earn your team roughly 333 gold and this would then be split between the five champions, as well as all of the XP.

The Jungler can kill the creeps (the monsters located in this area) in the jungle area of the map, earning roughly 440 gold just for themselves, with the remainder being split between the other four members. As well as ganking other lanes (where two or more champions gang up on one enemy), the Jungler is important for ensuring good vision around both the Dragon and the Baron and helping support the mid lane champion who can be pushed from both sides at all times.

Controlling the jungle ensures you control rotations and control the main focal points of the map, especially at the early stage where a lot of games are won or lost. Bettors should note that good team work and timing is a key requirement to making this role work as it should.

Top Laner

The top lane champion is found mostly in the top area of the map unless a lane swap has occurred. Although there are different types of top laners, generally speaking teams will play with a 'Tank' champion - someone who can take a lot of damage before being eliminated. They are used to get into the middle of the opposing team, being the focal point, trying to stun or attack the enemy ADC.

The distraction caused by the Tank champion enables the rest of the team with high attack damage to eliminate the players. The laning phase (the start of the match when players focus mainly on levelling up) is incredibly important for this role as the player needs to be strong for the later game.

Mid Laner

This role is used virtually always in the middle lane of the map. Along with the ADC, this is usually the champion that dishes out the highest amount of damage. The champion can be ranged or melee depending on what the player prefers.

A ranged champion will poke (harass the enemy from a distance greater than their enemy can attack back) to wear enemy champions down from a safe position. There is usually a trade-off however, with these types of champions being incredibly squishy (low defence and low hit points). Bettors should remember that good vision is important and spotting a squishy champion with poor vision can often mean ganks against them will be successful.

There are different types of support champions, some are more defensive and some are more for playing aggressive, but most of them have some abilities for both.

Melee champions have to get up close and personal to attack their enemy and as such a lot of them will have abilities to stun or snare (an attack that freezes an enemy in one place for a few seconds, denying them the casting of abilities) their opponent with. Again, good vision is important here as they need to be able to get away safely after engaging, although as they usually have more health and defence abilities, their chance of being ganked is slightly lower.

Unlike the ADC, the mid lane champion usually uses ability power. This means they use their abilities more than their auto attacks to eliminate opposing players. The mid lane player is incredibly important as it is the middle of the map and he can be ganked from both sides. Having a good awareness of the map, as well as good use of his vision is important in this role.

How does knowing more about these roles help me with my LoL betting?

Betting on any eSport without understanding the game will inhibit success. Understanding the roles in League of Legends ensures you have a basic grasp of what is happening at any given time and what may occur in the future.

A lane swap will tell you a lot about how the early game will play out, for example, or seeing a Jungler with good vision approaching for a gank at a key moment of a match can inform you of who might have the advantage going forward. Knowing the ADC is squishy and has poor vision or is far from their support is another good example of how understanding these roles can apply to live betting on League of Legends.
