Mercedes-EQ and SK Gaming launch Project Avarosa.

Mercedes-Benz has been a partner of the Esports organization SK Gaming since 2019, and numerous joint projects have already been successfully implemented. Mercedes-EQ and SK Gaming want to follow up on this with Project Avarosa and make a contribution to more equal opportunities in Esports. Project Avarosa involves a scouting process and the subsequent promotion of a League of Legends team consisting of female and non-binary gamers. The goal is to enable the gamers to pursue a professional career and to offer them a safe environment with the best training opportunities along their way.

The requirements for becoming a team member are a minimum age of 16 (parental consent provided) and a performance level defined by an in-game metric – the ranking system. Applications are welcome from gamers ranked Platinum II and up. Residence must be in Europe, preferably in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Furthermore, the applicant must be willing to travel and participate in offline activities such as boot camps or workshops.

Neuer Look gefällig?

Neues Ausrufezeichen in der Partnerschaft von SK Gaming und Mercedes-EQ: Die Esports-Organisation stellt ihr neues Lineup für den Esports-Titel „Rocket League“ vor und hat direkt ein Extra für die Community dabei. Für drei Fahrzeugtypen des Spiels bringen Mercedes-EQ und SK Gaming eine digitale Fahrzeug-Folierung mit Designelementen beider Marken heraus. Dieser sogenannte „Skin“ wird von dem Team in sämtlichen Wettbewerben genutzt, um auf Torejagd zu gehen. Das Skin hinterlässt nicht nur im Spiel einen bleibenden Eindruck, wie man bei einem Fotoshooting mit dem entsprechend folierten EQA entnehmen kann.

Was ist Rocket League?

Rocket League ist ein Multiplayer Online Spiel, in dem die Spieler:innen zweiter Teams versuchen einen Ball mit Hilfe ihrer Stockcars in das gegnerische Tor zu befördern. Das Spielfeld ist durch Wände und eine Decke begrenzt. Auf dem Spielfeld befinden sich sogenannte Boostpads, mit deren Hilfe die Teams beim Darüberfahren einen Turboantrieb einsammeln können. Diesen Turbo können die Teams nutzen, um schneller zu fahren und dadurch härter zu „schießen“ oder um kurzzeitig fliegen zu können. Der Skin ist ab sofort in Rocket League verfügbar. Rocket League ist kostenlos und für den PC und Konsolen erhältlich.

Was sind Skins?

Skins sind individuelle Designs von Videospiel-Elementen. Im Fall von Rocket League handelt es sich um Fahrzeug-Skins, wie der von SK Gaming und Mercedes-EQ. Ähnlich wie Fußballer als Teil ihrer Ausrüstung verschiedenfarbige Fußballschuhe tragen können, können in vielen Videospielen bestimmte Elemente mit unterschiedlichen Looks ausgewählt werden.
