Does twitter trending actually do anything?
Sometimes theres some really weird shit in the trending... Who knows. Maybe we should link it to an article describing what ESPORTS is in all the posts?
Including a link or getting everyone to do the same tweet will most likely cause the tweets to be flagged as spam/hacked accounts/bots

Will have to tell people to make unique posts about them.

So that's 11am in Sydney/Melbourne!

I am usually sleeping at that time, but I can wake up earlier for #ESPORTS
|
I'm so glad you spelled #ESPORTS correctly
|
I'm setting my alarm to 6AM to support #ESPORTS :D
|
will it help to tweet #esports 10 times? instead of 1 that is? <3

That could be one reason, but the main (and most evident one) would certainly just be people's awareness of how much it matters. Getting #ESPORTS trending Worldwide, especially for an extended amount of time, would do a lot to show people that this isn't some weird thing and that it's very popular.
I can see the future now, Ill be out and about chatting up some women folk. Telling them all about ESPORTS and they'll be like "OMG i though esports was wired but then I noticed it was trending on twitter, so it must be cool!" Then they'll probably suck my off or something because my interest are cool.

Well, I'm doing it.
Fuck the world.

This might get some people banned... I'm not sure how Twitter detects spam accounts, etc. It might have to be 10 unique posts.

Good to experiment but at the same time whats hype about Esports besides your show? Basically If some heads Are turned what the hell kind of tweets are the going to see? This looks to be "how many lemmings can we get on this train" thing which fits twitter well actually. However, I think this experiment lacks a bit of purpose. I feel like some kinda drone instead of a eSports(competitive gaming) supporter.

If it works, we'll do it every Tuesday (or some other time) promoting certain content from the community. Or something. I just wanna see if it really only takes ~1300 tweets to get something trending worldwide. Imagine using this to give a shout out to a company supporting us.

Anything for JP. Just bought a bottle of permafrost for #ESPORTS

I'm in for sure, make sure all the pillars tweet about SotG going live, if you can, just to make sure no one accidentally misses it somehow!
