Dear e-sport friends,
I know I am not the most active user, but I am a big fan of Starcraft and e-sports in general.
I am finishing my M.A. in International Business and for my thesis topic I thought… If I have to write about something for 4 months… why not choose something awesome that will/might help an entire community: electronic-sports.
It took some convincing, but my professor agreed that this topic is worth exploring. This is where I need your help. I am doing a general market analysis, in order to collect enough significant data that will attract new and large sponsors and help grow e-sports.
http://goo.gl/KzqLH
All the data collected will be 100% anonymous, and I will share my results with anyone who asks 
Furthermore, I will publish the results after I handed in my thesis at the end of October.
Please share this with as many friends as possible, even if they don’t watch e-sports.
Thanks so much!
Rob
***UPDATE***
Thanks to everyone that has filled out the survey so far!
We have reached almost 1500 responses. A goal I never dared to imagine.
Next Friday I will publish some final numbers, but complete results will be available once I handed in my thesis 
***UPDATE***
WOOOW!
Liquid'Taeja wins Dreamhack! And we just reach 2000 responses!!!!
Thanks everyone!
***UPDATE***
Alright, *drumroll* we have reached way over 2500 results... amazing!
Please don't tell me about bias, xD this is an esports analysis. I think TL is pretty much the best (and most representative) community when it comes down to e-sports, despite the obvious bias towards scII.
Sorry for not posting the results immediately, I will first have to hand in my thesis (25th October). Afterwards I will even make my entire thesis available for anyone that is actually interested in the theoretical background.
A lot of you have sent me an email, and I will definitely keep my promise to send out the results as soon as possible.
But what I can say is that I strongly believe some of the results will open the eyes of future sponsors!
And seeing this kind of energy within the community is fueling my drive to further help and build the community
Now there is only one thing left to say:
THANK YOU!

| While I don't see myself as a typical "gamer" (I don't play any videogames at all, and haven't in the last six months; haven't played seriously in over a year) I still watch some sc2, and I still filled out the survey. Good luck with the Thesis! |

Thanks everyone! The amazing response rate alone would be worth writing a thesis about
The results will be published in this thread, and I plan to create a website with access to the detail analysis once I hand in my thesis next month.Last edit: 2012-09-22 09:36:37 |

Is Question 7 the household or the responder?
EDIT: Also why is the fighting game scene completely uh... absent from the survey? There are more competitive fighting game fans than competitive FIFA game fans I'm pretty sure.
EDIT2: Finished it though. Hope it goes well :3Last edit: 2012-09-22 10:26:20 |

Done. I know the answers won't make sense (make less than 20K a year, buys a ton of Esports stuff in excess of 501$ a year) but it's true.
