The system is currently in its alpha stages and is only available in Counter Strike, where the company builds the games together with its partner content creators, but in the near future it will expand to more games and allow each player to easily and quickly create his content from the game he chooses, and we already have fingers For games like Valorant.
The Israeli CS: GO community can take part and participate in the exciting construction process of this platform.
Edge cherishes and appreciates the Israeli community of Counter Strike, and they want the Israeli players to be the first to experience the ambitious project and give their opinion.
That's why Edge has teamed up and collaborated with the YourGame community, which maintains a productive forum system in the gaming world.
We caught up with

How did you think of the idea and what is behind the development?
"The idea came to us out of a very basic understanding of us, as human beings. Everyone wants to share with their friends and their community the good experiences they have had in life, whether it's social media, where we share a beautiful photo or video we've experienced."
"So in gaming the most powerful ingredient that keeps players coming back to the game is the same climactic moments they experience, the same clutch moves that win a game, those moments raise their adrenaline levels in the body, make them jump out of their chairs and scream at home."
Using the technology we have developed at Edge we allow players to take those moments and turn them into content worn by their community and friends, and in fact allow them to "enter" a world full of short games that are necessarily the most exciting moments of the game, and play in the shoes of their friends, creators Famous content, or professional actors. "

The idea is actually taken from two different worlds: traditional sports, running and gaming. We will start with traditional sports where my personal experience is using a sports app called "Strava". from here".
"For example, if you ran from Tel Aviv to Herzliya, you can see on a map exactly where you passed and how long it took you, and then as a user you can take sections from the same route and call it by a certain name, for example -" Yossi's Aliyah ", then anyone who passes. "Yossi will enter the leaderboard and see how he did it in relation to the rest, in fact it is User-generated content in the sport. The athlete puts a piece of content and the other athletes run there and try to do it faster than him. The fastest get prizes like trophies and the like." .
"In the gaming world we have seen that gamers share thousands of clips of their climactic moment in the game every day across social networks on the Internet. Content. We realized that one thing is missing that will combine the two worlds and that is the ability to experience the same moment in gaming that the content creator has uploaded and that is to actually play it. "

Why conduct the experiment specifically on the Israeli community?
"We know that out of the Israeli community came some professional players in the senior Esports leagues, and the field has been growing very significantly in recent years. We want its technological development and global impact to be first and foremost for the Israeli community, mainly because we know there are many talents who may not succeed. To reach the significant stage so far. "
"The uniqueness of Edge's platform is that gamers do not have to produce video content in Hebrew, which will naturally limit them specifically to the Israeli market. Through them they only need to bring their creativity and talent and they will immediately reach the global stage."

What is the potential you are anticipating?
"We hope to build a social gaming experience that will dominate all types of games that will allow players to share and experience the most interesting and great moments in the various games created by them or their friends. Occurred".
There is no doubt that this is an Israeli development that aims to expand and become the next big thing in the world of gaming and sports, and the potential is simply not over.
New technology can change and upgrade the way competitive sports spectators absorb the medium.
After all, not every day amateur shooting players have the opportunity to feel like the greatest players in the industry.
We wish Edge great success, and hope to see many more Israeli companies in the field of esports.
