Porsche becomes the official car brand for esports racing competitions

Porsche and esports racing

Last month in April 2019, Porsche

"Porsche Esports Super Cup (Porsche Esports Supercup) ”

I wrote that I announced that I would like to expand the virtual world championship in addition to the one-make race series.

Asphalt 9 Asphalt Esports Series

According to this news, this time it is an app game for Android / iOS.Asphalt 9: Legends ”Tournament "Asphalt eSports Series ”It is said that Porsche has become the official car brand of this tournament.

The first tournament is:

• Official gaming device is "Black Shark"
• Qualifying will be held sequentially from May 20, 2019 in the target countries
• Target countries are 9 countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, India,America, South Korea, Japan)
• Determine the finalists based on the overall ranking of the qualifying
• The final will be held in August at "gamescom" in Germany, Europe's largest game trade fair
• The total prize money is 20,000 euros (about 2.5 million yen)

By the way, Black Shark is a mobile gaming device, that is, a "smartphone made exclusively for games". It's amazing, isn't it!

I only played games and candy crush on my smartphone (laughs), so this is a world I don't understand anymore ... Aunt ...

Let's try Asphalt 9 at once

No no no! You can't just "don't know"! For the time being, I installed this Asphalt 9. It's a secret that I just wanted to try it.

Oh oh. Here is a screenshot of my smartphone screen ↓

From the start, the video is beautiful and cool! !!

I'll just do it a little. Without doing anything, the first car given was the Lancer Evolution.

I was wondering how to operate the driving of the car on the smartphone, but I see, the accelerator moves freely, so the operation that the driver (player) does is:

• Drift with your left hand → This will make the car turn, but just by pressing the drift button, it will drift in the correct direction along the road without deciding the direction to turn by yourself.
• Decide whether to use nitro with your right hand

It seems like ...

By the way, by drifting, it seems that the amount (number) of nitro that can be used will accumulate after that.

After that, when the course is divided into left and right, you can choose which way to go, or if there is something like a jumping platform, choose that one by flicking.

Well, like that, I tried only a simple tutorial and the first two stages for the time being.

It's still the first time, so I'm just happy to win once (and because it's the first time, I feel like I'll definitely win ^^) and immediately give me the next car ^^

The second one was the BMW Z4. Suddenly I got this kind of thing, it's kind of nice. But you can't run it right away?

Even so, the car racing game of "I don't control the accelerator / brake or even the left and right directions by myself" is quite novel.

* I just did it a little bit, so I'm sorry if my understanding is different (laughs).

Porsche in asphalt 9

By the way, Porsche seems to be finally available on the stage called "04 The Ambition" where the garage level that can be obtained is from 01 to 05 ...

Further ahead, at garage level 05 "05 The Final Test", Ferrari and Lamborghini seemed to be available.

Is it "the birth of a legend"? ... I wanted Porsche to be included in the legend (laughs).

I tried it for a while, but it seems that I will not be able to take the time to continue playing smartphone games in the future, so my Asphalt 9 experience ends here.

However, the video was really beautiful, and when the game started, the video was so beautiful that I had the illusion that my smartphone screen suddenly became something else.

Porsche, you are really involved in esports ^ ^
