Some of you read my first thread and as such know about the meeting which was scheduled for today. Long story short, it went well. Very well infact, they're very enthusiastic about the idea, as well as the networking opportunity within digital city itself. They have no problems with my application for a fellowship, the only down side is I will have to quit university for the duration of the fellowship and then the subsequent year after the creation of the business. This is fine for me of course, pursuing the dream is far more important, especially since I intend to go back to university once I can delegate most day to day tasks such as event scheduling and whatnot away.

But yes, here we are, one step closer to a professional e-sports scene in the UK. Rejoice!

Wow, congrats! Can you give a little more details though? How exactly is your e-sports scene going to work? What did Digital City say?

So are you aiming towards organizing leagues and tournaments and the broadcasting of those matches? Basically like esl-tv in Germany? Or are you more looking for the offline type of tournaments/leagues like in Korea?

The goal is the more offline type of tournaments.

As for digital city we established a few things:

Stage one will be have tournaments held at a venue, which will be broadcast online. That footage will then be used either to convince sponsors of providing enough capital to set up a television channel of our own. Or to convince broadcasters to take on the television itself.

Stage two then of course will be the venue+television broadcasts.

The fellowship itself is for 6 months, which will be used to secure a venue, networking, event organising, maybe even host an online tournament with some possibly big prize money depending on sponsorship.

Another thing we discussed was the possibility of, once there are professional teams and team houses established, maybe broadcasting the day to day life of the gamers for a major broadcaster.

The next big step in this is of course the application for fellowship, but unless I get a really shitty approvals panel at the last step there shouldn't be too big of a problem. I have been toying with the idea of setting up a website to track my progress, but I'm not sure.

What games are you talking about here? Just starcraft 2? Who's going to be playing, only uk citizens?

There will be a variety of games, I'm hoping to be able to fit in both SC1 and SC2 as well as other big titles that are viable, as I mentioned in the last thread, there are a lot of variables to consider.

And there will be no limitation to who can compete in any possible online tournaments (apart from the obvious foreigner only rules). But to participate in any leagues any players will have to be physically present.
