This is particularly application to online tournaments more-so than live LAN, though it is a concern for both. Sponsorship, sponsorship makes the ESPORTS world go round. Teams exist because of sponsorship, they can pay their players because of sponsorship. Prizemoney isn't reliable or frequent ...

Well http://i.imgur.com/WT28x.jpg This is currently in place outside Newcastle United FC stadium. Nah, it really doesn't do anything for eSports but I can't imagine Nazgul minds having his logo a few foot high outside one of the biggest football stadiums in the UK XD The story behind this is the King of the Web contest, ...

Team Dignitas Quantic Evil Geniuses Team Liquid Fuck yeah, random monobattles. The mans monobattle, the only real way to play that game type online. Random races, random units, the ultimate in improvisation. Work with what you have to craft a strategy on the fly and eliminate the opposing team. It's fun and no two games are ever alike. Let's take this dice-rollin' p...

No audio this time around I'm afraid, my voice is completely shot. Let's get the numbers out of the way first before we talk about anything else. Total donations towards the next tournament - $3904.66 Money left over from last time $1131.23 SCI5 = Fully Funded. In fact, we'...

In ESPORTS darkest hour, our favourite artist Glider was struggling against an army of cyborgs in the form of JenniferESL. Suffering many casualties yet struggling onward when all hope was lost, the last resort was deployed. A terrifying weapon of unspeakable horror. It was us, who scorched the sky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uox0yHLIKSU&feature=y...

Dreamhack is an experience that every gamer should take part in at least once. It is the Mecca of LANs and is also at present the first class european venue for eSports competition, whether it be Starcraft 2, Quake Live, Counterstrike, HoN or indeed many of the other smaller and sometimes rather odd competitive choices ...

We've been diversifying the funding methods for SHOUTcraft Invitational to ensure it's financial security and larger prizepools for the players. All the ad revenue from my stream still goes into it and that accounts for about $1500 a month at the moment, but obviously we want that prizepool to be larger. The first way we've done this is to introduce an optional Day9-s...

On a personal level, Dreamhack is the most incredible event I've ever had the honour of being a part of. This sprawling LAN of a scale you won't find anywhere else in the world, is filled to the brim with everything that makes gaming the compelling hobby and lifestyle it is. Needless to say...
