according to the global situation with COVID-19 WePlay! Esports couldn’t stand aside, and we have decided to organize the charity tournament: WeSave! Charity Play.
2. Idea justification
People around the world are stressed, terrified, and
disengaged. They are literally stuck at their homes and are
limited in their mobility and communication.
The unknown frightens, but is it worth it to remain passive
when the world needs actions, when other people need
help, or when everyone needs everyone? How do you
dedicate yourself when you can’t leave your room? How can
we help others if no one knows how to help?
We feel helpless until we realize that the best way to be
useful is to stay calm, relaxed, and to focus on what we
love to do – esports.
Mission
An esports event that unites the world and brings people
new meaning: save the world while you watch and play
3. Story
When the virus in Wuhan was only starting,
all the Reddit and Twitter was joking about
some coincidences they’ve found in the
situation and the game Resident Evil
When the scale of the sickness was not so
terrible, the gamers could joke in that way.
Starting from the 5th of March 2020 there
were over 110k infected people in the
world. The same day MGM and Universal
Studio decided to postpone the premiere of
the new James Bond film that was
scheduled on the 3rd of April till 20th of
November. The world starts to slow down.
4. Story
Here at WePlay! we imagined that the other
reason for postponing the film about the most
famous special agent of all time was that he
(James Bond) was sent to Umbrella
corporation, to all the secret laboratories,
where an example of a vaccine should
definitely exist. And while he is standing
against all the biological threats he could only
imagine, our brave casters will be working in
their own laboratory, trying to help all the
researches in the world to find resources on
development of a vaccine. you can play to
save.
And the official name of the film - No Time To
Die - will be the best idea to tell to all the
Dota2 viewers: There is really no time to die
when The time when the virtuality will stand
for the safety of the real world has come.
5. Studio set
Tables, glass shelves with strange boxes, some
not bright light, some medical test-tubes with
colored water.
Wooden boxes, lots of screens and holograms,
cameras.
Talents outfit
Our talents will wear total white looks. They will
represent the purity of thoughts and efforts in their
unselfish desire to help.
6. Additional content
In technical pauses between the matches
guides from our casters how to wash hands, how
to protect yourselves in the times of pandemic
virus, etc. All the necessary stuff that is really
important to know.
The news about the situation in the world. Not to
bring panic, rather to explain what is going on
and how should one behave.
