\nLive streaming of tournaments on sites like Twitch<\/strong> already generate mass views from game players – but what spectator audiences of the future might look like could be glimpsed at Moscow\u2019s Crocus City<\/strong> exhibition centre when it hosted Epicenter<\/strong>, the largest international cyber sports tournament to be held in Russia. Rather than just show games on large screens, event specialists Big Screen Show (BSS)<\/strong> made this an entertainment, a spectacle that would appeal to gamers and non-gamers alike. That took a lot of live-show stagecraft. Three pairs of Christie Roadster S+20K<\/strong><\/a> projectors created ambient content on the ceiling, while three Christie Roadster HD20K-J<\/a><\/strong> projectors 3D mapped an in-game characters\u2019 head. You didn\u2019t need to understand every strategic key-press or every backstory to become part of the crowd and get swept up in the emotion.
