Do you want your son to be a Fortnite ace? Hire a Coach

Some children have piano lessons or math explanations. Others have private coaches to become the best players of what is today's most popular videogame: "Fortnite: Battle Royale."The Wall Street Journal has identified several parents who have paid private lessons of "Fortnite" for defeats to be part of their children's past, but some of them expect the hobby to become a lucrative eSports career.It is recalled that in May Epic Games announced that it would contribute $ 100 million for the first prizes to be awarded in the official Fortnite competitions that will take place in what will be the first year of this title as an official game on the scene of eSports.Coaches are discovered on social networks or on social networking sites such as Gamer Sensei, which charges $15- $35 an hour, or Bidvine.This new phenomenon is a surprise to coaches because until recently, the only people who invested in video game coaching were enthusiastic adults or aspiring young professionals.While many parents argue that this practice is the same as investing in private teachers who help their children succeed in other activities, social media critiques of this trend were not long in coming.
