On the capital's TV channel, "All Ufa" released a story about e-Sports, the hero of which was a second year student Bayras Guzairov. He entered the top 100 Hearthstone e-sports players in the world.

“Hearthstone is an e-Sports area called a 'competitive puzzle' and requires a player to have a developed ability to analyze, predict and adapt to constantly changing unique situations,” explains Svyatoslav Pegov, head of the UGATU e-Sports section, President of the Electronic Sports Federation of Bashkortostan. - And Bayras has all these qualities at the required level. Most importantly, he has something that separates an excellent player from a champion: in any situation, he maintains an iron calm and works where others lose their nerves. I am sure that our cyber athlete has every chance of getting into the Top 50 and even the Top 10 of the world ranking. "
Bayras Guzairov is 19 years old; he is a second year student in the specialty of "Automation of technological processes". Likes to watch movies, anime, plays chess perfectly. He started participating in cyber competitions in 2018.
“I didn't have the skills yet, but participating in tournaments was so exciting! - says the student. - I learned that local competitions in Herthstone are held in Ufa, and met many strong players, because these were cozy matches with a friendly atmosphere. This year he applied and was invited to the e-Sports section of the USATU.
My passion for eSports brings me joy, and besides, I can earn money by playing my favorite game. My parents are not against my hobby, but they are very worried that it does not affect my academic performance. Mom was genuinely surprised when she found out that I had won $ 750. She did not assume that you can make money by playing on the computer.
I myself believe that E-sport interferes with learning no more than other sports; you need to properly allocate time. The problem only arises when the competition coincides with the training session.
It seems to me that my passion for cyber sport will stay with me for the rest of my life. I am interested in other e-sports areas; I watch tournaments, many of which are much more interesting than those shown on TV.
After graduation, I would like to make my hobby work, but if it does not work out, I can always find a job in my specialty. "
Note that e-sports at USATU has existed for three years, and during this time the university has established itself as one of the leading e-sports universities in the country. Thus, the national team took 5th place in the final of the All-Russian e-Sports student league. In addition, the e-Sports sector constantly participates in the organization and conduct of many student competitions, including all-Russian ones. In addition to purely student activities, some of the players participated in semi-professional e-sports teams and received salaries. Now e-sportsmen have the opportunity to receive physical education credits for e-sports achievements, and the national team has received additional motivation to improve sports results.
