Thousands of worldwide #gamers flock to Vancouver for massive #Esports tournament $GMBL #Overwatch #DOTA #FORTNITE

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:10 AM on Wednesday, August 15th, 2018

  • There’s more than $24 million waiting to be won in a tournament that holds the largest prize pool of any eSports championship — and it’s on Canadian soil for the first time.
  • “This is kind of like the Super Bowl,” said Peter Anders, referring to The International Dota 2 Championships tournament that kicks off at Rogers Arena on Wednesday.

There’s more than $24 million waiting to be won in a tournament that holds the largest prize pool of any eSports championship — and it’s on Canadian soil for the first time.

“This is kind of like the Super Bowl,” said Peter Anders, referring to The International Dota 2 Championships tournament that kicks off at Rogers Arena on Wednesday.

“You get these absolute diehard fans that are running around with their countries’ flag, or have the T-shirts of the different players and scream for them when the players walk on the stage,” said Anders, who belongs to the UBC eSports Association.

The game Dota 2 is a mixture of chess and capture the flag, where teams of five are pitted against each other to defend their base and destroy that of their opposition. It’s a game that requires high strategy and foresight, explained Anders, making for an ever-increasing high-stakes championship, and an enthusiasm from the crowd that is comparable to that of any other major sporting event.

With 18 teams at play, the tournament goes through a round robin before entering the double elimination stage. Each game usually lasts between 15 minutes to more than an hour.

Tourism Vancouver, which hopes to pursue more eSports tournaments in the future, said the estimated economic impact of this event will be more than $7.8 million in direct visitor spending.

While Anders and others from UBC’s eSports club will be attending as spectators, they are among the best collegiate teams in North America, winning two consecutive titles in a different tournament.

Vivian Chung, also part of the UBC team, has attended the event for the past two years in Seattle, and was excited to see it come to Vancouver.

“In my first experience, I remember thinking it’s hard to imagine that something that you just play on the computer has such an amazing large-scale event,” Chung said.

While some of the best international players are from China and Europe, Canada has a handful of names on that list as well.

“There’s only about three to five players that are top competitive (Canadian) players, but some of the most popular players are Canadian actually,” Chung said.

Team “Fnatic” for example not only features famed Canadian player Jacky Mao, but is also coached by Kurtis Ling, a former UBC student who won $6.6 million in the 2016 championships.

“Fnatic is my favourite team,” said Anders. “The fact that their coach went to my school makes me even more passionate about the team.”

he historic decision in July by the game developer, Valve Corporation, to move the tournament from Seattle to Vancouver for this year was based on the fact that Vancouver is an up and coming powerhouse in the industry.

Earlier this month, it was also announced that Canada’s first eSports stadium would be built in Richmond, and is scheduled to open in 2019.

“It’s a big deal to have this come to Vancouver,” said Dal Yong Jin, a professor at Simon Fraser University with an expertise in eSports. “The video game industry is getting bigger than the film industry in terms of both the production and consumption.”

Jin also pointed to the fact that organizers of the 2024 Olympics in Paris are in talks to include eSports in the games. The 2018 Asian Games is Indonesia happening this weekend will also feature eSports for the first time, as a demonstrated sport.

“Vancouver and Canada as a whole should prepare for it coming into the Olympic field,” Jin said. “In four years it will be considered a regular game, and we cannot ignore that.”

Zebi Launches a #Blockchain Solution for #Education in #India $BTRU.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:52 AM on Wednesday, August 15th, 2018

By Cait Etherington August 14, 2018

  • India is already home to one of the fastest growing edtech markets in the world.
  • A recent announcement by Zebi, a Hyderabad-based blockchain startup, suggests that it may also be well positioned to become a leader in blockchain solutions for education.
  • With Zebi EduChain, Zebi plans to leverage blockchain technology to help educational institutions more effectively manage student records.

India’s Edtech Scene

A recent study by Google and KPMG predicts that India’s online education market will grow to USD 1.96 billion and around 9.6 million users by 2021 from USD 247 million and around 1.6 million users in 2016. The study, “Online Education in India: 2021,” further predicts that while reskilling is currently the largest edtech market in India, by 2021, both the K-12 and test prep markets will dominate. If potential for growth in India is huge, it has much to do with the region’s size. India has an estimated 260 million students enrolled in more than 1.5 million schools and 39,000 colleges and the region’s number of students and institutions is constantly growing. Currently, mobile learning is especially popular in India, which is home to approximately 290 million smartphone users and is expected to add another 180 million users by 2021. However, traditional approaches to online and mobile learning aren’t the only thing making headlines in India’s edtech scene. As Zebi’s early August announcement reveals, at least one Indian tech startup is now exploring the potential of adopting blockchain solutions for education.

Adopting Blockchain for Education

Blockchain enables digital information to be distributed but not copied. Simply put, blockchain technology has a fundamentally different foundation than traditional digital technologies because it rests upon a “distributed database” to which no single person has full access or control. Most people still associate blockchain with cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, but the technology offers a lot more than the ability to engage in financial transactions without the aid of banks.

Blockchain technology can also enable people to sign contracts and verify documents without relying on traditional third parties, and it is at the level of records management that blockchain is expected to have its greatest impacts on education. For example, colleges and universities currently spend thousands of dollars each year simply collecting, issuing, and verifying student transcripts. But what if student records could be easily verified and shared across institutions using blockchain technology instead? This is precisely the sort of solution that Zebi hopes to offer with the launch of Zebi EduChain.

Zebi’s Blockchain Solution

Zebi EduChain won’t be the first blockchain solution for education, but it will be the first one released in India. The solution is designed to offer a secure and tamper-proof way to manage educational records, and in a country with 260 million students, managing educational records is no small task. Among other things Zebi EduChain will help educational institutions assess the authenticity of candidate’s school and college certificates, which is currently a major challenge across India where there are multiple school systems operating in multiple languages. This is also no doubt why at least one large Indian institution, the International Institute of Information Technology in Basara, has already adopted Zebi’s technology.

In a news release issued last week, Babu Munagala, Zebi’s Founder and CEO, emphasized, “The issue of fake certificates is a big menace. It is quite tough for recruiters, higher educational institutions and other stakeholders to check the authenticity of a certificate. Blockchain can address this problem once and for all.” Babu also explained, “The educational institution that wants to join the platform will act as a node with full control on the data they own. They will receive requests from stakeholders to verify any certificate issued by them. They will vet the request and give an answer, checking their database. This simplifies the process in a most secure way.”

Whether or not blockchain technology eventually replaces registrar’s offices on college and university campuses is yet to be seen, but with solutions such as Zebi EduChain, it seems likely that how educational records are managed both within and across institutions is about to undergo a major overhaul.

$GGX.ca GGX Gold Drilling Intersects 50.1 g/t Gold and 375 g/t Silver over 2.05 Meters — Gold Drop Property, Southern British Columbia GGX Gold $K.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:30 AM on Wednesday, August 15th, 2018

https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.agoracom.com/public/companies/logos/564602/hub/ggx_large.png

  • Results for 2018 holes COD18-43 to COD18-45 which tested the COD Vein, in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone.
  • COD18-45 returned 50.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 375 g/t silver over 2.05
  • 2018 drilling program also tested the continuation of the Everest Vein, which is located approximately 600 meters southwest of the COD Vein worksite.

GGX Gold Corp. (TSX-v: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company” or “GGX”) is pleased to announce it has received additional analytical results from its diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop property, located near Greenwood, B.C. Drill core analytical results have been received for 2018 drill holes COD18-43 to COD18-45 which tested the COD Vein. The COD gold bearing vein is located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone.

The highlight from these analytical results is an intersection of 50.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 375 g/t silver over 2.05 meter core length in drill hole COD18-45 which tested the COD Vein, including 167.5 g/t gold, 1,370 g/t silver and >500 g/t tellurium over 0.46 meter core length. This gold-bearing intersection of quartz veins and altered granodiorite in COD18-45 is located at approximately 20 meter vertical depth and approximately 160 meters southwest of the area of 2017 trenching at the COD Vein. COD18-45 is located approximately 220 meters southwest of drill hole COD17-14 which intersected the 4.59 g/t gold over 16.03 meters, including 10.96 g/t gold over 5.97 meters (News Release of September 7, 2017).

The 2018 drilling program focused on testing and defining the COD Vein, a Dentonia/Jewel style quartz vein. Trenching during 2017 exposed the northeast – southwest striking COD Vein for over 160 meter strike length. The 2018 drilling program also tested the continuation of the Everest Vein, which is located approximately 600 meters southwest of the COD Vein worksite. The Everest Vein was first discovered by Company prospectors during the 2017. Chip samples collected in 2017 across the approximate 0.4 meter wide vein exposure returned up to 52.8 g/t gold and 377 g/t silver while a grab sample of a quartz vein boulder broken off the outcrop by the excavator returned 81.8 g/t gold and 630 g/t silver (News Release of August 21, 2017).

The analytical results listed below are highlights from drill holes COD18-43 to COD18-45 (intersections greater than 1 g/t gold), testing the continuation of the COD Vein south-southwest of the 2017 trench. Since true widths cannot be accurately determined from the information available the core lengths (meters) are reported. The gold, silver and tellurium analyses are reported in grams per tonne (g/t).

Previous drill core analytical results from the 2018 drilling program are reported in News Releases of May 29, June 14, June 27, July 11, July 19, July 25, August 1 and August 9. The 2.05 meter core length intersection in drill hole COD18-45 at the COD Vein is the highlight of the 2018 drilling program to date and represents a significant intersection with high grade gold southwest of the 2017 trench. Prior to the receipt of these analytical results, the highlight of the 2018 drilling program was 14.62 g/t gold, 150.2 g/t silver and 102.0 g/t tellurium over 2.1 meter core length in drill hole COD18-3 at the COD Vein, located in the area of the 2017 trench and vicinity of drill hole COD17-14. The following map of the COD Vein work area includes some of the more significant 2017 – 2018 drill intersections.

Drill core from the 2018 program was geologically logged and sampled. Drill core was sawn in half with half core samples submitted for analysis and remaining half core stored in a secure location. Core samples were delivered to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Vancouver to be analyzed for gold by Fire Assay – AA. Samples exceeding 100 g/t gold were re-analyzed for gold by Fire Assay – Gravimetric Finish. The samples were also analyzed for 48 Elements by Four Acid ICP-MS. Samples exceeding 100 g/t silver were re-analyzed for silver by Four Acid ICP-AES. Quality control (QC) samples were inserted at regular intervals.
