Twitch streamer Max-Strafe went to extreme lengths to compete in Apex Legends tournaments while his hometown in Ukraine suffered blackouts.
Considering the constant power cuts and rocket threats it seems impossible that people whose jobs depend on having a stable internet connection would be able to concentrate.
There are still many streamers and content creators who have stayed online in the country, though, who have had to find often peculiar ways to broadcast their content.
Twitch streamer and professional Apex Legends player Max-Strafe, real name Maksym Stadniuk, has been competing from his hometown in Ukraine during the Russian invasion.
As he lives in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, which is often targeted by drone attacks and missiles, he was forced to find a way to play through the power outages.
Luckily, he was allowed to use his neighbour’s backup generator when he had to play in an important tournament.
In fact, Maksym and his team ended up qualifying for a $1,000,000 (£818,500) tournament, after winning $5,000 (£4,000) in the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) playoffs.
