No, it is League of Legends



Siv HD



Here's the general front page:





The general gist:

Siv HD decided to run a marathon donation session inspired by his friend Athene (Belgian streamer). His original goal was 50,000 dollars. While underway in the marathon, he received a live call from the American headquarters of Save the Children, who caught wind of the donation drive. This lead to a renewed enthusiasm from donors, going for a new goal of 100,000 dollars. Meanwhile this happened, the USAID organization promised to match the donations times 9 for a grand total of 1,000,000 dollars.



The paper also mentions the online streaming business and the ability of people to be a professional gamer and streamer.



This marathon was a group effort of about forty streamers total. I am assuming Siv HD is the most known of that bunch thus getting this focus with the resulting success. Edit: The total donation effort totaled up to 1.9 million dollars (according to the online article).



Positive light on serious gaming :D

+ Show Spoiler + Ironically a big two page piece focused on a new GTA game and the violent games issue. Ending with bringing up the age divide and a helpful last remark stating it is human nature to like these games.

I looked in the paper this morning, and the big digital graphics picture drew my eyes. Is that Dota? (I mainly watch Dota, :-o )No, it is League of LegendsSiv HD recently streamed a donation marathon session and the end result is a million dollar total for Save the Children .
