Permastunned breaks record as largest esports team for people with disabilities

TL;DR

He founded Permastunned Gaming with three other gamers and streamers (“Yakobis”, “Shattovv” and “Adante”) in January 2019, with the initial goal to form the first-ever Dota 2 team composed solely of disabled players.They raise awareness regarding the structural impairments suffered by a big part of the community (Microsoft's Xbox estimated almost 400 million gamers with disabilities across the globe) and contribute to creating a better, more fairly levelled field for all.The worldwide-collective grew and expanded, and today counts 33 members from all corners of the world.One of the major challenges is to have esports recognized as actual sports, as Alexander also said to Esports Insider: "[...] Most governments have not yet acknowledged the value of esports, and consequently there are rules and regulations that might hinder disabled gamers from advancing their esports career."A positive and more inclusive change that Alexander and Permastunned are certainly encouraging with their continous efforts in raising awareness and calling out for the necessity for more accessible venues and gaming platforms."
