Andreas Thorstensson is a Swedish entrepreneur, former professional gamer, and studio founder whose career has moved from the early days of esports to the challenge of rebuilding one of the world's biggest sports genres from the ground up. Born in Stockholm, he began programming as a child and later emerged in competitive Counter-Strike under the name ‘bds', becoming world champion in 1999 and earning a reputation as both a player, and builder of tools, platforms, and communities around the game. In 2001, he co-founded SK Gaming, helping turn esports into a more professionalised business, and later spent a decade in technology and startups. In 2021, frustrated by the state of football games, he returned to development to found GOALS AB, a Stockholm studio with an ambitious aim: to give football the video game it deserves. Its first title, GOALS, is a free-to-play, cross-platform football simulator built around a gameplay-first, fully skill-based philosophy.

À 25 ans, il mise sur les skins Counter-Strike et les cartes Pokémon pour atteindre le million. Analyse d'un patrimoine (très) diversifié, noté 92/100.***

75 millions de dollars : qu'il est alléchant le montant des récompenses à se partager à l'Esports World Cup, la Coupe du monde d'e-sport, un gigantesque tournoi de jeux vidéo qui a lieu aux portes de Paris depuis lundi 6 juillet. League of Legends, Counter-Strike ou encore Valorant, ce sont 3 des 24 licences sur lesquelles s'affronteront près de 2 000 joueurs pendant sept semaines. Pour la première fois, cet événement, créé et financé par le royaume saoudien, a lieu hors de ses frontières à cause de la guerre au Moyen-Orient. Nicolas Besombes, enseignant-chercheur en sociologie du sport à l'université Paris Cité, analyse cet événement majeur de l'e-sport. Suivez la Coupe du monde d'e-sport ici.  À lire aussiCoupe du monde d'esport 2026: pourquoi l'Afrique est absente des grandes compétition?

Alors que Paris accueille l'Esports World Cup 2026, la plus grande compétition internationale de sport électronique, un constat s'impose : malgré une jeunesse passionnée par le jeu vidéo, l'Afrique reste largement absente de la scène compétitive mondiale. Faute d'investissements, de compétitions structurées et de volonté politique, le continent peine à transformer son potentiel en véritable filière économique. À partir de ce 6 juillet, Paris devient la capitale mondiale du jeu vidéo en accueillant l'Esports World Cup 2026. Pendant plusieurs semaines, les meilleurs joueurs de la planète s'affronteront sur des titres incontournables comme League of Legends, Valorant ou Counter-Strike. Au-delà du spectacle, cet événement rappelle une réalité économique souvent méconnue. Le jeu vidéo est aujourd'hui l'une des industries culturelles les plus puissantes au monde. Son chiffre d'affaires dépasse désormais les 200 milliards de dollars, soit près de dix fois celui du cinéma mondial. En son sein, l'esport représente à lui seul près de 25 milliards de dollars par an. Une économie à part entière, portée par les compétitions, les sponsors, les droits de diffusion et les clubs professionnels. Pourtant, l'Afrique ne capte qu'une infime partie de cette valeur. Les équipes africaines sont quasiment absentes des grandes compétitions internationales, malgré une pratique du jeu vidéo très répandue chez les jeunes, notamment sur smartphone ou dans les gaming zones. Le talent existe, mais l'écosystème fait défaut Pour Désiré Koussawo, président de SAGES Africa et auteur d'un livre blanc consacré à l'esport africain, le problème n'est pas celui du vivier de joueurs. « La base existe, elle est très large », explique-t-il. En revanche, c'est toute la structure permettant de faire émerger une élite qui fait aujourd'hui défaut. Car pour produire des champions, un marché ne peut pas se contenter de compter des millions de pratiquants. Il lui faut également des ligues professionnelles, des championnats réguliers, des clubs solides, des financements, ainsi qu'un cadre juridique adapté. Faute de compétitions suffisamment nombreuses, les joueurs progressent moins vite, restent invisibles aux yeux des grandes organisations internationales et peinent à intégrer les circuits professionnels. Un véritable cercle vicieux s'installe : sans investissements, pas de compétitions ; sans compétitions, pas de joueurs de haut niveau ; sans champions, les investisseurs continuent de détourner leur regard. À lire aussiSony abandonne les disques PlayStation: conséquences économiques d'une révolution du jeu vidéo Les investisseurs finiront-ils par miser sur l'Afrique ? Pourquoi cette situation perdure-t-elle ? Parce que les grands acteurs de l'industrie raisonnent avant tout en termes de rentabilité. Comme le souligne Désiré Koussawo, l'Afrique est encore perçue davantage comme un marché de consommateurs que comme une terre de compétiteurs. Les éditeurs de jeux vidéo, les organisateurs de tournois et les sponsors privilégient naturellement les régions où les retours sur investissement sont immédiats. Le principal frein n'est d'ailleurs pas uniquement celui des infrastructures. Quelques serveurs commencent à être déployés, principalement en Afrique du Nord, tandis que l'Afrique subsaharienne commence seulement à voir arriver certaines initiatives. Le véritable chaînon manquant reste surtout la volonté politique. Contrairement au football ou à la musique, l'esport est encore rarement considéré comme un levier de soft power ou de développement économique. Pour autant, les perspectives existent. Comme dans toute industrie, lorsque les marchés historiques arrivent à maturité, les entreprises recherchent de nouveaux relais de croissance. Après le développement spectaculaire du Golfe ou de l'Asie du Sud-Est, l'Afrique pourrait bien devenir la prochaine frontière de l'économie mondiale du jeu vidéo. Car aujourd'hui, l'esport n'est plus un simple loisir, il est devenu une industrie stratégique, un outil d'influence et un marché mondial en pleine expansion. Pendant que Paris célèbre les champions du jeu vidéo, l'Afrique joue encore les qualifications. La question n'est désormais plus de savoir si le continent possède les talents, mais de savoir qui sera le premier à investir dans leur réussite.

The Jaffa take the battle to the Ori this week in Counterstrike.  We get back into discussing interior design (which Ori is responsible for their ships?) and wondering if the SGC actually has a seamstress on staff. If they do, we want to see that series. There is a lot that happens in this episode, and the arrogance of the Jaffa and what they're doing is rather frustrating. We do appreciate the development of Daniel and Vala's relationship. And, actually, everyone's relationship to her. It's nice to see most of the antagonism starting to drop. Vala and Adria's relationship is really interesting, too. Vala trying to treat her like she's still a small child is a fun dynamic to see play out. We also go off on brief movie tangents about The Wedding Singer and Sneakers. And since there are no listener emails, we get into Gateworld's System Lord Tier Ranking. Who would your top goa'uld be?

It's a very sad episode this week on Overtime on Inferno, because Jack didn't back karrigans move to Falcons, he has identified himself as a fraud who doesn't understand Counter-Strike.

Justin's got the week off, so Seth steps in as co-host and the conversation does not disappoint. Doug and Seth dig into a Reddit question that sent them both deep into the nostalgia rabbit hole: of all the computer games you played between 1985 and 2010, what's the one you still think about today? Seth goes back to the PC port of Final Fantasy VII — the game that defined the RPG genre for a generation of players who couldn't afford a PlayStation — and StarCraft, the game that proved the internet was both a gift and a curse once Korean players started annihilating everyone on Battle.net. Doug lands on Diablo, Counter Strike, Half-Life, and Team Fortress from what he describes as the best summer of his life, plus Warcraft II and the legendary dorm-vs-dorm Counter Strike leaderboard that consumed an entire semester. Seth adds Morrowind and the Halo 2 university network wars, including the top-ranked player named Mixomatosis who turned out to live three doors down and was simply a different kind of person. The gaming conversation rolls naturally into a deep dive on Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and hero shooter culture — the difference between quick match and competitive, the rage of random teammates, why role-locking exists, and why you absolutely should not be trying out a new character in ranked. But first: Doug's mom has a long history of purging spices from the family pantry, and it explains a lot about his childhood. From there Doug and Seth debate overrated recipes (the dump-and-bake casserole situation has gotten out of hand), wage war over cottage cheese, and discover halloumi together in real time. Underrated picks include millionaire shortbread and candied pecans — two things that deserve far more attention. Plus fair food: dirty, suspect, and somehow perfect. A quick Clair Obscure Expedition 33 check-in leads into the episode's new game: AI or LinkedIn? Doug reads posts and Seth has to guess whether each one is a genuine LinkedIn post or AI generated. The results are both funnier and sadder than expected — especially the guy who timed his lunch at four minutes and 37 seconds because what isn't measured doesn't improve. This week's recommendations: Seth — Taskmaster (free on YouTube, 21 seasons). Five comedians, bizarre tasks, Greg Davies and Alex Horne hosting. One of the best shows you haven't watched yet. Doug — The Backrooms (A24). Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons based on the viral liminal space internet lore. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars. One of A24's highest-grossing films. Go see it. Plus: what even is SCP? Seth explains, and the answer sends Doug down a rabbit hole he didn't budget time for.   Subscribe: youtube.com/mindgappodcast  Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/T3HwyEw5v7  Listen everywhere you get podcasts  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mindgappodcast Merch on Redbubble: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/67768184

Is it possible for a $70 blockbuster to feel like it was actually designed for people with jobs and families? This week, we review Capcom's Pragmata and discuss why its bite-sized mission structure and emotional "Dad Hook" make it a gold standard for time-value in 2026. Then, we dive into the surreal world of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. We talk about why this "digital ant farm" is the ultimate zero-stress management sim and how its new inclusivity updates have modernized a cult classic.  We also take a look at Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a game that was once a technical struggle but has found a second, silky-smooth life as a Switch 2 powerhouse that finally fills in the missing pieces of Zelda lore. Finally, we set the stage for the BLAST Rivals tournament at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth. Whether you're a Counter-Strike veteran or a casual spectator, we break down why CS2 remains the tactical king of esports and what we're looking for as the world's best teams descend on Texas.

In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz breaks down the staggering Day 1 metrics and the mixed reception shaping its post-launch trajectory.The game shattered expectations with over 2 million copies sold worldwide in under 24 hours, generating an estimated ~$140 million in revenue. Pre-launch signals were strong: 3 million Steam wishlists and roughly 400,000 early PC sales contributing $20+ million. On Steam launch day, it rocketed into the Top 3 most-played titles, peaking at 239,045 concurrent players—trailing only Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2—with over 16,000 user reviews yielding a “Mostly Positive” rating after an initial “Mixed” snapshot.Critically, Crimson Desert earned a Metacritic score of 78, reflecting mixed-to-moderately positive reviews. Players praise the massive Pywel world, deep combat, and sandbox systems like fishing, cooking, and hunting, but common complaints target complex controls, “janky” controller feel, overly dense menus, performance issues, bugs, weak story elements, and bland objectives. Controversies include accusations of undisclosed AI-generated assets in artwork and signage, raising potential Steam policy concerns.Investor reaction was sharp: Pearl Abyss stock plunged nearly 30% initially, with a 40%+ decline over five days, as the score fell short of lofty expectations tied to the game's long development and hype.Pearl Abyss responded humbly, acknowledging the “incredibly” strong sales, vowing rapid patches for controls, performance, and gameplay streamlining. With no microtransactions but Denuvo DRM in place, the $69.99 title stands as a maximalist single-player epic.Analytic Dreamz analyzes this as a classic high-hype AAA case: unmatched commercial momentum and engagement outpacing critical consensus. Long-term success depends on swift fixes to technical woes and controversies—proving sales dominance can fuel redemption in a demanding market.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
