Azubu has nothing to do with Justin.tv/Twitch.tv. This is what happens when you copy and paste legal disclaimers without find/replacing properly. | ||

In 2007, according to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce the BVI was a bigger source of foreign investment in China than the U.S. South Korea or Japan. What the BVI gives AZUBU is what a number of jurisdictions that are captured by monied interests around the world give hundreds of thousands of companies: Secrecy. Secrecy which allows them to avoid tax. This makes AZUBU as legitimate as Amazon who site their European headquarters in Luxembourg. Unless you mean the entire system is no legitimate, in which case I agree. | ||

Think about it, if you pour millions dollar in the game, you should make your own teams to win most of the money back, at the same time you can sell off the team to make some extra money. Evil evil organization!!! This would actually make sense. Seeing how Azubu entered the Korean market to sponsor a tournament with 150k to force other companies later to pay a similar price pool. | ||

Here is another link that might be interesting: http://www.markhound.com/trademark/search/P4xPbXkV7 http://trademarks.justia.com/854/94/azubu-85494003.html It shows that Azubu have been working on registering their trademark since 2011 when Azubu was "founded". I don't know all kinda weird for a German/Korean company already trying to settle themselves in the US. My German is very limited but it seems that the head of Azubus are all korean. Kinda weird why they would keep saying that they are a German company -_-.

Also there is no money in the Germany subsidary. 50k Euro which is basically the minimum to register a company in Germany. So although they claim that they are a German company the German company is just an upfront for their other operations. | ||

Also there is no money in the Germany subsidary. 50k Euro which is basically the minimum to register a company in Germany. So although they claim that they are a German company the German company is just an upfront for their other operations. Here are translations of the quoted parts in German (AktG = Aktiengesetz, German Stock Corp. Act): »Announcement according to § 20 p. 6 AktG SYSK Limited, Road Town, according to § 20 p. 5 AktG has reported to us in July 2012 that it does not hold a majority stake or any stake according to § 20 p. 1, 3 or 4 AktG in our company.

There are three companies officially registered in Berlin tied to the AZUBU name. One is AZUBU Europe AG, then there is a certain Clauf GmbH c/o AZUBU Europe AG, and finally AZUBU Interactive GmbH. The registrations basically state that AZUBU is in the game publishing business. + Show Spoiler [AZUBU Europe AG] + Entwicklung sowie Erbringung von Computerspielen und von auf Computerspiele bezogene Informationen und Dienstleistungen durch das Internet in Europa und verwandte Tätigkeiten sowie alle Tätigkeiten, die dem vorgenannten Gegenstand zu dienen geeignet sind.

Development, production, marketing, sales, and publishing of software technologies, especially online media and other products, as well as organizing events pertaining to e-sports and competitive online computer games, as well as offering social networking services, in the national and international market. CEO: Park, In Sung The CEO of AZUBU Interactive, with the adopted name Silverio I. Park, apparently has a webspace at http://insung.de/ where the following (from a magazine, PDF link) can be found among many other things (mostly in Korean): + Show Spoiler [magazine page image] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/x1uQ9AB.jpg) There was also a GTAI article ("Playing the Big Game -- A Korean in Berlin") in English with an interview of Mr Park of AZUBU available here, with the following interesting parts: [...] In December 2011 Mr. Park founded AZUBU together with a Korean businessman whom he met during his work at KOTRA. They chose Berlin as the location of the company's headquarters, because - as Mr. Park says – here is good, qualified, competent staff to be found, and Berlin also supports IT companies, which makes the capital even more attractive. They have a studio in Korea where the game developers are working, and the Berlin headquarters concentrates on product management, community management, PR, marketing, license purchases, and game-publishing. [...] When I ask Mr. Park what exactly AZUBU is doing, he stands up and picks up a large picture from the sideboard. There is a huge hall in the picture, full of people, celebrating the online-gamers standing on a podium, in a shower of confetti. "You see? This is an event of the Online Games League in Seoul, with two five-person teams. It was sold out, 17,000 people were in the hall, and we also had a live stream in the Internet. We want to organize such 2-3-hour events in Germany, elsewhere in Europe, also in North America, and establish professional and amateur leagues in different age groups - this work is already underway. We are building a social network for gamers, where fans can exchange information about the specific topics of the gaming world. In our community for example, the gamer, can chat with his own voice, doesn’t need to use the keyboard, because during the game, hands are busy.” AZUBU Europe AG is currently looking for strategic partners in Europe and elsewhere, in order to realize these great plans. The business prospects of the company are promising: revenues come at a gaming event from tickets, live stream fees, cable television licenses, advertising, and merchandising. AZUBU already has four own highly successful professional gaming teams, and plans to "adopt" more professional teams from North America. AZUBU want to be a “big one” in eSports, in the world of virtual championships. | ||
