In this editing you can see "Team Forge". The athletes, their public and their love. This was one of the best Team in Italy and in their Gaming House made his first steps Daniele di Mauro, pro European player of "League of Legends". Now the team is called Qlash Forge ‘cause they’ve been integrated in another international team, the Qlash.
Alessandro, the owner, told me that players can have difficulties to make the final step that could put 'em in the global scene. "Competitive videogaming is not a game". A real sport in the culture, in the business and in the contemporary history.
