From LauncherWP: As Ukrainian pro gamers flee from war, esports community offers aid
have fled Ukraine since Russia’s invasion began. As a result, a number of Ukrainian esports players and other game industry workers have had to rapidly recalibrate their lives, while friends and colleagues outside of Ukraine have offered whatever aid they can. People working in the gaming sector are an increasingly large community in Ukraine.
Describing the scene among Russian and Ukrainian players, some of whom play for the same teams, Coupez said there was a feeling of unity, even as no one was quite sure what to do.“They were all wishing that everything was not real and we go back to normal life,” he said.After the initial shock wore off, Coupez worked to help his clients, employees and others he knew in the country. On Feb. 24, his goal was to help people get out of Ukraine.
“I was crying in my apartment in London, the kindness is just so wild,” Banks said. “It’s so touching. … This is the beauty of esports.”Banks noted that total strangers from across Europe had messaged him and said they had extra rooms or could provide food.Once out of Ukraine, refugees face a host of new challenges, such as where to go and where to stay. Paweł Książek, head of the Kinguin Esports Performance Center in Warsaw, decided to open the doors of the venue to refugees.
