EPTSo far I've just sponsored tournaments for the E-sports scene such as:
-For The Love of the Game Tournament
-Tour of Duty Series from gosucoaching.
-Managed Teams, such as sYz- and [AoV].
-Sponsored many show matches and more to come.
More projects are coming up for the SC:BW / SC2 scene as well.
My end goal though is to get into e-sports though but just not sure how. I really hope those two degrees will get me somewhere where i really want to go.
