One player wanted to participate in a lucrative tournament, but a power outage nearly ruined his chances of participating. In order to be able to participate anyway, he came up with a particularly clever idea He used his car in front of his house for this purpose.
South African Oliver “Olympic” Gensler of the Rocket League wanted to compete in an event with $20,000 at stake. But in South Africa, there are regular power outages, and the country has even planned some such outages to save electricity.
However, the professional wanted to participate in the tournament and then use his car to be able to play.
Your car in front of the front door becomes a generator
In order to continue to participate in the tournament, Olympic decided to use his car battery to power his computer and the Internet. You can see how he set it all up in his Twitter post.
While this is a pretty insane solution that works to keep gaming going during a power outage, a future esports player might want to buy a small back-up generator.
This would at least save him the work of having to connect his car to his home network every time. As you can see in the pictures, a lot of cables are needed for this.
The feedback is definitely very positive. Many love the crazy idea of e-sports and keep their fingers crossed for his championship.
The power and coolness of a gaming PC’s exterior
Other players also come up with weird ideas and try to include the environment in the games.
One gamer, for example, had his computer overheating and came up with a particularly cool idea of simply putting his computer out on the balcony in the icy air. But this “solution” is hotly debated:
A user’s gaming computer gets so hot, it simply lets the icy outside air cool the system – how dangerous is a “cool” idea?
