Usually they watch because the people are funny or very good at the game. Additionally, gaming tournaments are usually shown on the platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The tournament is free to join and open to anyone over-18.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The event makes money in two ways: playing adverts throughout the stream, and through donations made to the Twitch.tv stream as the games are being played.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Esports Wales will host the stream and provide commentary throughout the games, which start at 12pm and are expected to go on&nbsp;into the evening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Esports Wales Director John Jackson said: &#8220;The Esports scene in Wales is growing and we want to help that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are proud to partner with&nbsp;SpecialEffect&nbsp;on events like this &#8211; and we host other events throughout the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It is a great advert for the gaming scene and it&#8217;s supporting a good cause.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Esports Wales will have a team at the event, as will SEGA Europe, who&nbsp;organised&nbsp;the tournament.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>CS:GO&nbsp;is a first-person shooter. There is a T (terrorist) team and a CT (counter-terrorist) team. Each team consists of five members plus two substitutes. The counter-terrorists&nbsp;have to&nbsp;stop the terrorists planting a bomb at one of two sites on the map.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>First and second place at the tournament will have prizes provided by sponsors Corsair and Sennheiser. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"520\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top.png 960w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top-770x417.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top-500x271.png 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top-293x159.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top.png 960w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top-770x417.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top-500x271.png 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/Esports-Wales-Top-293x159.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Esports Wales work with schools and colleges to get players into professional gaming <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You can watch the tournament on the 23rd February, starting at 12pm here:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/esportswales\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/esportswales<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>You can support&nbsp;SpecialEffect&nbsp;by watching the stream or donating here: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjustgiving.com%2Fcampaign%2FGameblast20&amp;data=01%7C01%7CYoungA18%40cardiff.ac.uk%7Ce6815162255d4d2404b908d7b13c209a%7Cbdb74b3095684856bdbf06759778fcbc%7C1&amp;sdata=4eqH9O42tvYsahWLaU%2Fj0F7u%2Bo6wbjhnBeJP86ltSlo%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/justgiving.com\/campaign\/Gameblast20<\/a> &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Register for the tournament here:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.challengermode.com\/s\/SpecialEffect\/tournaments\/c671d57e-ff3e-ea11-a601-501ac501183e\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.challengermode.com\/s\/SpecialEffect\/tournaments\/c671d57e-ff3e-ea11-a601-501ac501183e<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8216;Challenger Chicken&#8217; tournament is part of a nationwide weekend of events to raise money for disability charity&nbsp;SpecialEffect GAMING&nbsp;organisation&nbsp;Esports Wales is hosting a charity tournament on the 23rd February.
