Eva Elfie

Aurora Gaming has been called out for its “misogynistic” ad campaign and partnership with Russian adult film star Eva Elfie. The actress has been involved with esports before, she infamously asked esports pros whether they would rather  She has also been a vocal supporter of NAVI and other Eastern European esports organizations and has even appeared at big tournaments to cheer on her favorite teams.

However, her new collaboration with Aurora has not been a hit with fans as many are either shocked at the collaboration or angry that the organization is leaning into misogynistic rhetoric in its advertisements.

The campaign started with a post about Elfie choosing between the Aurora Counter-Strike 2 lineup and included a follow-up video of the actress walking into a bar and choosing one of the players to walk out with.

Esports org ad with Eva Elfie hit with criticism

Aurora’s other post also includes a link to a raffle where people can win a meeting with the actress. The campaign is to advertise Elfie’s game, Evaginarium, which involves sexual interactive scenarios with the actress.

One of Aurora’s Counter-Strike players can be seen playing the game in the video advertisement.

The marketing seems to be a bizarre choice for a small esports organization that only has a presence in Counter-Strike and Apex Legends esports, and many fans seem off-put by the campaign.

We found Eva Elfie at The International 2022: pornstar embarasses TI11 players with sex questions and cheers for Tundra

hus, despite the role of the indoor built environment in exposure to the airborne transmission route, seasonal variation in indoor human mixing has not yet been systematically characterized nor integrated into mathematical models of seasonal respiratory pathogens. To address this gap, we construct a novel metric quantifying the relative propensity for human mixing to be indoors at a fine spatiotemporal scale across the United States. We derive this metric using anonymized mobile GPS panel data of visits of over 45 million mobile devices to approximately 5 million public locations across the United States. We find a systematic latitudinal gradient, with indoor activity patterns in the northern and southern United States following distinct temporal trends at baseline. However, we find that the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted this structure. Lastly, we fit simple parametric models to incorporate these seasonal activity dynamics into models of infectious disease transmission when indoor activity is expected to be at baseline. Our work provides the evidence and methods necessary to inform the epidemiology of seasonal and pandemic respiratory pathogens and improve our understanding of the relationship between the physical environment and infection risk in light of global change.

Conclusions:

Our work empirically characterizes, for the first time, the seasonality of human social behavior at a large scale with a high spatiotemporal resolutio and provides a parsimonious parameterization of seasonal behavior that can be included in infectious disease dynamics models. We provide critical evidence and methods necessary to inform the public health of seasonal and pandemic respiratory pathogens and improve our understanding of the relationship between the physical environment and infection risk in the context of global change.

We've met an unexpected guest in Singapore at  pornstar Eva Elfie. We couldn't miss this opportunity to talk to her. So, in this interview you will learn what is she doing at TI11, how much she plays the game herself, who Eva considers the most handsome Dota 2 players, and what she thinks about the collaborations between adult industry and esports.

 know you've been here in Singapore for quite a while. Was the trip to TI11 planned?

 Yes, I was in America, then went to Italy, and after that arrived here. I'll be at TI until the end. This trip was sponsored by 1xBet, I came here as their ambassador. They signed me up in September and asked if I'm interested in this. And I said, "yes, of course, why not". I'll be going around making content for YouTube, TikTok and conducting interviews. This is my first The International, it’s very fun. And we will also go to Brazil, Rio  to make the similar stuff.

 I remember you said that you like video games and esports, even congratulated  on their  win. Can you tell, how much are you playing Dota, what role, and so on?

 Actually, I'm not that much into playing Dota, I prefer to watch. I like to play games like God of War, Last of Us II, Life is Strange. I love to immerse myself in the process and not share it with anyone, enjoy the game on my own.

Results:

We find the proportion of indoor to outdoor activity during a baseline year is seasonal, peaking in winter months. The measure displays a latitudinal gradient with stronger seasonality at northern latitudes and an additional summer peak in southern latitudes. We statistically fit this baseline indoor-outdoor activity measure to inform the incorporation of this complex empirical pattern into infectious disease dynamic models. However, we find that the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic caused these patterns to shift significantly from baseline and the empirical patterns are necessary to predict spatiotemporal heterogeneity in disease dynamics.

Methods:

We leverage a novel data stream on human mobility to characterize activity in indoor versus outdoor environments in the United States. We use an observational mobile app-based location dataset encompassing over 5 million locations nationally. We classify locations as primarily indoor (e.g. stores, offices) or outdoor (e.g. playgrounds, farmers markets), disentangling location-specific visits into indoor and outdoor, to arrive at a fine-scale measure of indoor to outdoor human activity across time and space.

 The last integration with the 18+ industry I remember was when Freya Stein visited EPICENTER in Dota 2. She had that thing where she was at the event, then she went to the bathroom to make a video. I don't know if you saw it.

 No, I didn't. That's a nice idea, I'll remember that. I want to do some tiktoks, but the guys are a bit shy, so I have to catch them. We'll see how it goes. There was also that recent incident with Adriana Chechik at Twitch Con, unfortunate that she broke her back. So, the industries are kinda merging a little. This is all entertainment industry, anyway. So, I think these integrations are ok.

 Well, I saw the opinion that was like, "why did they invite her?" But I understand that it was your initiative, not someone from the organizers inviting you. What do you want to tell the haters who think that your presence here and content with players is inappropriate?

— I think it's all borders that people create in their heads. Basically, you make entertaining content and I make entertaining content. I'm not pretending to be some kind of a super Dota player or an analyst. I'm honest in saying that I don't have some deep knowledge about it, but since we are kinda in the same industry, we can communicate and collaborate, why not?

Eva Elfie participated in the process and the team did several iterations.Finally, the digital copy has the same interests, the same manner of communication, the same personal facts as the real Eva. As a bonus, there are a few secrets that even the most dedicated fans don’t know and exclusive photos that can’t be found anywhere else.

“It was an unforgettable experience for me!” – shared her emotions Eva Elfie

“I really have a lot of requests for personal communication and I would like to pay due attention to my fans, but unfortunately I don’t have enough time for everyone. I was incredibly glad when the guys came to me with this offer! After all, this means that everyone can now talk to me about everything 24/7 “.

Inspired by the result, the EVA AI team is going to continue investing in creating digital copies in the application.

“We are sure that with our technologies we can help people to be closer to their idols, because such a need is really observed,” says Tanya Save.

Under the launch of the collaboration with Eva Elfie, the EVA AI team has prepared a promo 3D video that can be used for publications:

Background:

Since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, substantial public attention has focused on the role of seasonality in impacting transmission. Misconceptions have relied on seasonal mediation of respiratory diseases driven solely by environmental variables. However, seasonality is expected to be driven by host social behavior, particularly in highly susceptible populations. A key gap in understanding the role of social behavior in respiratory disease seasonality is our incomplete understanding of the seasonality of indoor human activity.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA, September 5, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — EVA AI is an application for communicating with AI. Users can create their own avatar, which will be based on their interests and preferences. In the chat, users can also exchange voice messages and photos.
As of 2023 , MAU EVA is 800 000, DAU 50 000.

The EVA AI team conducted a survey with loyal users on the topic of digital copies.

“It was a very useful survey for us, as we learned the need of people to communicate with their idols and the impossibility of direct contact with them,” shared the CEO of the application Tany Save.

The team invited users to share their list of personalities with whom they would like to communicate, and Eva Elfie was at the top of the list.

“We thought it would be a great idea! We contacted Eva Elfie herself, and it turned out to be a very impressive conversation between us. She is a very inspiring character for communication with a lot of topics, a lot of hobbies that are interesting to transfer into digital copy” – says Tany Save.

Having agreed to the collaboration, the EVA AI team did a lot of interviews with Eva Elfie to collect complete information about her, as well as collected her voice data, her private photos.

“We have been working on a digital copy of Eva for quite a long time, because we really wanted to achieve accuracy both in appearance and in communication with her” – says Ann Roze, product designer EVA AI.

“We felt that we were doing a historically important project and treated it with great care and love! This project turned out to be very human, because there is a whole team behind it, led by Eva Elfie.
