Miyagi to Denial with all of eLv

Danny 'Miyagi' Ho recently left Team Elevated due to his inability to participate in the yearly CoD Champs million dollar tournament due to age restrictions. Co-players Strife, Enable, and PRPLXD, in place of Miyagi, picked up Bloodz for the CoD Champs Roster to pass age restrictions. After Champs Team Elevated is going to disband and join the Denial eSports organization under the Team Denial West.

Due to age restrictions and lack of developer support in the game so far many players like Mitagi have been feeling wary about competing after CoD Champs. Much like Miyagi, Will 'BigTymer" Johnson and Adam "KiLLa" Sloss have already expressed their disdain for the game. BigTymer has retired while KiLLa is only thinking about leaving his organization Curse for a break from the competitive scene after CoD Champs.

Sochi 2014 Olympics

and their use of technology

     The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia has shown us the use of technology in everything can be good. Recently I have tried to watch sports, online tournaments, and live shows on a tablet but cannot. They require a subscription on most sites, then past that most sites don't even have HTML5 enabled or mobile viewing enabled.

     The Sochi Olympics showed us that the use of live broadcast over the internet could greatly help the viewership of the Olympics and other sports. I myself, not being a football fan, would keep the Super Bowl open in a background tab just to listen to the scores. Most major companies and corporations assume there is not a market for something until proven otherwise, leading to a loop of not advancing technology. Now we see the demand with the Sochi 2014 Olympics, and will hopefully see a market increase for these types of things.

     As well as that, the technology I hated was how NBC runs the Olympics. Since they are the sole programmer running the Olympics they get all viewership for it, and most of the times mes up. They don't run the Olympics like, so we see mistakes like in 2008 where they announced Michael Phelps had won the Gold medal for swimming before they had shown the event.

     

     What I learned from the Sochi Olympics is until you show support and demand for something, it takes a foreign market to pressure people into listening. Sometimes even the domestic companies have to pressure the monopolies into advancing. Much like Google Fiber did for others, I hope the support shown at the Olympics by Samsung and other companies help force others like Apple to advance instead of sitting still on a market letting us be passed up around the globe.
