Fortnite fans around the world are preparing to take part in one of the world's most popular online games tournaments.
The series is the first competitive tournament since the kickoff of the World Cup last month, setting a record total of over $ 30 million in prize money.
Several new stars in the multi-million dollar world are getting ready by playing as much as possible before the tournament begins.
Hugh Gilmore will be busy and tense even if he will not participate in the tournament.
At the age of 19, better known as Destiny, he is a Fortnite coach and, in the eyes of many, the most successful in the world.

Gilmore advised the top three players in the individual matches of the New York Championship.
Among those who consulted Gilmore was Kyle "Boga" Gersdorf, 16, who won the title and won $ 3 million.
Gilmore also helped the top three teams in this tournament.
No bonus
Despite Gilmore's contributions to guiding these Grand Prize winners, he is not enriching himself.
Gilmore has asked its customers a fixed amount of $ 145.87, without collecting a percentage of the prices, unlike other sports.

"It 's only in July that I' ve completely gone from a player to a coach," Gilmore told the BBC.
"The nine players I coach are now millionaires.I was at home watching the games closely, and although it was my players who received all that money, I thought that it was also a big hit for me. "
From a failed player to a successful coach
Gilmore lived with his parents in Kent, England, and was a competitive player until he decided to change jobs after failing to qualify for the World Cup.
"I joined Fortnite in March 2018, while the game was very popular," said Gilmore. I was working in a gym when I started playing and I quickly reached advanced levels, and then I accidentally started helping others with tips, tactics and projects.

Gilmore does all his video chat training on the platform.
While this helps the psychological rehabilitation of players, he devotes most of his time and effort to badyzing games and developing plans and methods.
Fortnite's "Royal Battle" game involves 100 players who are dropped on the surface of a smaller and smaller island, where players face each other to obtain weapons and equipment to survive to the point of survival. 39 at the end.
And crown the player who can survive until the end.
Methods and plans to play
Developing game styles and plans in the first minutes of each game is essential to win.

"Many people look at Fortnite and see it as a cartoon video game designed specifically for kids, but it's really complicated and profound," Gilmore said.
"It's an exciting game that includes automatic missions, sniping, looting, lots of things going on around you, and you're ready."
"My job is largely to watch dozens and dozens of games to see what players' opponents I will train will follow and I can handle."
Gilmore briefed the BBC on a map of the course he had drawn for Puja, World Cup champion. © BBC Jaden "Wolves" Ashman and his partner Dave "Rojo" Young also consulted Gilmore and earned $ 2 million
The map shows the favorite location of the 16-year-old player's relegation and the route he will follow in the very first minutes of a regular match.
Using other player data and statistics and their behavior, Gilmore was able to develop his plans in normal and urgent situations to defeat his opponents.
Gilmore has also developed qualitative techniques so that his players can defend themselves in the open areas of the map.
Gilmore helped British teenager Jaden "Wolfies" Ashman, 15, and his partner Dave Rojo, Young, win the silver medal and win $ 2.25 million in doubles.

"We made some mistakes before the tournament thanks to Destiny's advice."
"We could very well have made those mistakes at the World Cup and not be second."
Many professional Rojo players share the belief that coaching has become an important part of e-sports.
"In my opinion, the workout is really one of the most important elements of the e-sport." "It's about video badysis, of techniques." play or psychological rehabilitation, it adds to the task of the players and encourages them to focus on their tasks. "
Electronic sports training has a stable status for older games such as the League of Legends series or the FIFA Games series.
