JP should write a jon-style epic speech/article about esports (or find one somewhere that already exists - i can't think of anything right now), give it an abstract/attentionseeking hashtag title and get that trending, so people find the article but it's not necessarily spamming links

i don't understand how you could be surprised by that to be honest.

it's not like someone can constantly spam their own twitter with SC2 related news.
there's literally almost something to watch every single day.

if you tweet say, once a week that's already quite a lot and i actually doubt that the majority people do tweet that often (regarding sc2, ofc)
many people have lots of friends who do not even know what esports are and probably do not wanna tweet constantly about SC2 related tournaments.

plus, a lot of people do not even use twitter in the first place.

Did you not read that article? The reason why things like MLG normally don't trend is because people tweet about it all weekend in steady increments. You pretty much mentioned that several times in the OP and I assume you understand what you are saying, but your first paragraph opens up with:
then what in the world are people doing when we as casters say "go tweet about the GSL / MLG / IPL / NASL / whatever"?


I understand everything you are saying, but you just used your words in weird ways.

TL;DR: Don't get into the writing business JP. >_>

Twitter trending is dumb as fuck. Trying to influence it is even more retarded. Well done on jumping on the same bandwagon as such esteemed company as The Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber.

Someone stop the Esports train because I want to get off.

Trust me if you had SOTG on around 11pm-12am GMT you would have a ton more live viewers and would be able to get it trending on twitter easily imo, EU fans are way more passionate to make Esports big than the NA scene is imo. I fully understand why you dont do it at that time, but am just saying. Good luck and i really hope it works.

Not doing it? I know a lot of people who just tune out when casters start talking about twitter and how we should all go this and that.

Hey guys,

In fact I was trying to do something similar a few days back and it failed miserably ^_ ^

I'm trying to get www.angel.co (a "social network" for investors) to add "E-Sports" as a market on their site to increase exposure to potential investors for my own startup Esporx.tv as well as for the industry as a whole.

JP maybe u can add mentioning @angelList to get #esports trending WHILE getting them to add e-sports as a market ? Double e-sports rising combo!!

You should ask to people who don't have twitter to create one at the beginning of the show
