First, I would like to thank this lame thread:

http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/525985-my-overwatch-review

It gave me the courage to start my blog here on TL.

I love Overwatch. I love it more than Starcraft 2. Blasphemy!

I still love SC2, but I can't get myself back into the game. I am just an avid fan that watches on Twitch.

But OW, is a game I love watching and playing. It's a game that's rather simple to play, but incredibly difficult to master. Even heroes with difficult mechanics can be learned within a few weeks.

Mastering Overwatch is not a matter of being a god with a select few heroes, nor is it being a jack of trades with all heroes. It's a matter of communication, like everything else in life. Overwatch has taught me how to communicate better with others. I am using this to make friends and try to create a team.

I am trying to 'git gud', and in many ways, I am succeeding. I can use Orisa, Mercy, Soldier, and am learning Doomfist, Reinhardt, and Pharah.

As my blog title suggests, I want to go pro and build a team. This is not a stealth recruitment blog, but if anyone wants to discuss team building topics, hit me up a PM on TL.

So, this blog post, and successive ones after, will all be about my journey of going pro and building a team.

To open this blog, I've approached many small and medium businesses within Toronto about sponsorship and partnerships. I am planning on approaching more in the coming months. If I do manage to land a big sponsor/partner, I will update my blog posts, unless I am under a NDA.

I have a digital marketing strategy to promote the team too. A website will be created once everything is more concrete.

What I lack right now is a team, but I have approached many players in-game. Nothing solid, but I will keep looking for players.

I think I can make this a success, but it's starting very slow.

If anyone has questions/suggestions, please feel free to ask them below. If a reply takes too much to write, I will probably put it in my next blog post and let you know. I'll try to respond to all questions.

Thanks for reading so far!

i love and play SC2 and OW.
OW is the greatest "hey i've got 20 minutes to kill" game i've ever played. its simple, silly, challenging when you want to be.. and silly when u want it to be. its just great fun.

that is great news!
best of luck with ur team.

i went to a top software engineering school. the guys making the most cash are not the best academic software engineers. the best communicators are making the most money and have the most rewarding work.

have u considered approaching the owner of "Net Effect" at Isabella and Yonge?
he might be of great help to you finding new sponsors even if he doesn't partner up with you himself.

PM me if u want more specific details about Net Effect and its owner.

Jimmy, I'd love more information about Net Effect. I've been there several times, but before I had these ambitions. I will PM you later.

Great question. My pitch is that I have a way of connecting the young audience to your brand. I can create a narrative for the team and players that can get the audience involved. The classic struggle starting from the bottom is a great story that can garner a huge audience. I have a few businesses already interested. As part of my digital marketing strategy, I would make sure the team's story is told.

My angle isn't about myself being a player. My angle is that OW is an opportunity for businesses to connect with the younger audience. The statistical numbers released by Nielsen and other polling companies indicates brands both big and small are having trouble engaging with 'Millenials'. That's the driving force behind my pitch, and why big companies are investing $20mil in Blizzard's OW league. I'm just taking it to a grassroots scale.
