Providing a guide throughout each and every component that’s essential to eSports competition, Overclockers UK explain in-full, so that up and coming professionals are ready and knowledgeable – equipped with the essential components for besting the competition.
“BUTT” Wait, There’s More
While there’s a great number of games within the eSports scene, the most common titles are greatly dependant upon high framerates and player reflexes, taking place for extended durations of time. Because of these reasons, both hardware and peripheral manufacturers have gone to extraordinary lengths ensuring the players have the necessary amount of performance and comfort in order to stay ahead of the game. Solutions such as the EPIC Series Penta by Noblechairs or the S-Line SL4000 by Vertagear prove to be great choices where adjustable features, excellent comfort and back support are of the utmost importance when seated for long sessions of gameplay.
Along with extravagant styling in a variety of colours, each and every chair is distinct, delivering a range of choice to suit the rest of the gaming setup. As the demands of eSports gaming sees long hours of play, deciding on a chair which meets the needs and covers all the features demanded by the player doesn’t have to be tough. Those with adjustable positioning, thick material, and study build quality are of the most important factors when buying a chair. Extras such as adjustable armrests and swivel-lock functionality do have their uses, providing players with that extra feature-set to compliment their gaming setup.
Your Arsenal, Your Game
Requiring the most effective tools that’s both comfortable and intuitive, while being of high durability for long-lasting use – keyboards and mice have proven to be the most important choice for eSports performance. Where keyboards such as the FNATIC Rush Pro feature Cherry MX Blue switches for audible and tactile feedback – with customisable LED keycaps, others such as the HyperX Alloy FPS feature Cherry MX Brown switches for silent operation – combined with a solid-steel frame for increased durability.
Where those who require the high-speed precision and accuracy of a mouse that’s designed for First-Person-Shooters may best be suited to choices such as the Cougar Revenger or the XG-M2, those who play MOBA titles which require the use of many buttons for the vast array of controls and complex mechanics will find their needs met with choices like the Corsair Scimitar Pro RGB or the Cougar 700M.
Amplify Your Squad
Proving to be ever more crucial in games which demand rapid keystrokes across a great number of commands, particularly featured in MOBA and RTS games, communication is of the highest important for the many squads and teammates. For titles such as StarCraft 2, League of Legends, and DOTA 2 – titles which contain the largest amount of daily players globally – compared to other competing titles across all gaming platforms – this is where the player’s decision in headsets takes centre focus.
Providing maximum comfort through its memory foam ear cushion design, the HyperX Cloud is great for long sessions of gameplay, with the additional benefits of being lightweight and flexible. Featuring 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound with a noise-cancelling microphone for clarity and quality, the Corsair Gaming VOID RGB provides that extra advantage through multi-channel audio, allowing greater accuracy of the opponent’s location and movements.
Pixel Precision, Refresh Rate Reflexes
Designed purely to improve the player’s accuracy and reflexes so they’re equipped with every advantage during the intensity of a game, gaming monitors are built to deliver the fastest response times, maximum sharpness and the highest refresh rates. Available in two primary choices of panel technology, the response time – also known as milliseconds, is one of the most crucial aspects in competitive gaming. Indicating the measurement of time it takes for each individual pixel to shift from Black to White across different tones of Gray, the lower the response time, the less blurring and ghosting that will result from the image – eliminating visual distractions.
Where TN panels can provide response times as low as 1ms, the downside to this technology is the level of colour accuracy that panel can deliver when being viewed at specific angles. Measuring around 6ms-4ms with improved colour coverage, IPS panels are the next most common displays for competitive gaming. Given most displays feature a refresh rate of 60Hz – meaning 60 individual still images are displayed every second in order to produce a moving image – remaining on display for a total duration of 16 milliseconds, competitive players will find displays of 5ms or lower to be ideal for the experience.
As some displays feature higher refresh rates at 120Hz and 144Hz, gaming becomes more responsive, more consistent, and delivers a noticeable visual improvement over 60Hz. In order to do away with screen-tearing or stutter that can be produced from variable framerates, players should look for monitors which feature FreeSync or GSync technology. This allows for synchronisation between the player’s GPU and screen refresh rate, giving way for consistent framerates without distracting artifacts or visual inconsistencies.
Go-Go Gadget...Graphics Card
Widely appealing and highly scalable across a large number of system specifications, eSports games as visually impressive as they are, also do well in being less demanding than most Triple-A titles. This allows for players on lower spec systems to gain high framerates and pleasing visuals, without having to compromise too much of one or the other. Generally in demand of a quad-core processor – standard to all modern games, those seeking an entry-level graphics card to deliver an impressive experience will find a great number of choices from both AMD and Nvidia.
Designed for low-power requirements as well as being physically compact for easy transportation in smaller systems, the RX 460 is AMD’s leading GPU for eSports gaming. Equipped with 896 cores at 1200MHz, the GPU is available in memory configurations of both 2GB and 4GB, allowing for greater visual fidelity without the compromise of framerate. Ideal for gaming at Full HD, the RX 460 is cost-effective and serves as a great start for entry-level PCs and eSports gaming.
Fitted with 640 cores with an extremely high clock speed of 1500MHz, Nvidia’s GTX 1050 is available with 2GB of memory, consuming as little as 75W of power while proving to ideal for Full HD gaming. Serving as an excellent starting point for entry-level gaming PCs while still packing the necessary performance for high framerate gaming, the GTX 1050 is physically compact and power efficient, great for small-form-factor gaming PCs.
