@Torte de lini: H&M last summer... not sure they make them any more? @wklbishop : 1) I generally think it is easier to get sponsors in late 2011 as compared to 1 year ago... but not A LOT easier. People are generally more receptive to the potential of SC2 now, so they are more willing to take risks. 2) For your second question: no, I don't think any leagues are making a profit. I think we're still 1-2 years away from that. | ||

Also, thanks for all you do. Without you NASL wouldn't be nearly as good! | ||

I hear a lot of people talking things up for business potential, but have always been personally skeptical because the numbers from sources like alexa.com just don't seem to add up to some of the hype organizers are trying to make about the future. The POTENTIAL is there, but basically nobody has been able to actualize it yet. I think the scene is pretty close though, one more year should do the trick | ||

-How did you get to be a Team Manager ? I'm pretty sure there were some stages or something ? Would love to know some tips about this, making an own team its pretty hard at the moment and I am really curious where should someone start ? I know its not a general thing, its not like a regular job like being a medic or something but still I think there are some things to get started ! Cheers for doing so much for eSports and I wish you good luck in your future! | ||

Cheers for doing so much for eSports and I wish you good luck in your future! The way I started is most likely not the same most people start... I used to be a competitive gamer, and I joined my team LighT as a player (I was part of the primary 1v1 lineup and played 2v2s for USA A team with my cousin). After I took a break from the game due to school, I came back and found that all my teammates had improved a lot over that time and my skill went down, so I asked myself "how can I help the team." We had a lot of players who were really active, so I started organizing clanwars for the team... and from there I became one of the leaders of the team, and essentially started my career as a manager (this was in 2005). So basically, I was a player on the team and eventually became a manager... I never got back into full time gaming and have been managing ever since. Most managers these days are not players. The best way to get started is to get organizational experience: admin for tournaments or leagues... see if any teams need any kind of managerial work and try to do that, or form your own team (this is another big step though and requires a different set of skills). So I'd say the best bet is: if you have friends who are gamers and are on teams, see if those teams need any help, and offer your services. | ||

Cheers for doing so much for eSports and I wish you good luck in your future! As a team manager myself I would say that you should start by asking a smaller team if they need help. Many small teams only have one or two people running. Coming in and helping with written content, organizational content and whatnot is a good way to start. I think that most teams will happy to get a helping hand . | ||

Kind of OT, but since you know about T:A and it being incorporated in the NASL then I'll just chime my words here...: Tribes Ascend in all honesty is okay. So far from my beta playing experienced, compared to the first Tribes it lacks in many aspects. I realize it is an open beta, but unless they start changing many things soon I don't see the game becoming that popular or lasting long. The first Tribes was a masterpiece, and most veteran tribalwar members agree that Tribes Ascend still needs some work (but then again, most of those members including myself were spoiled with how amazing and fun the original was as we had played it at release/around that time-frame). That said, I'm hoping for it's success because it was my favorite FPS (the original) to this date and definitely I'm hoping the final product equals the first one in greatness. However, all this COD emulation (call downs, perks) is definitely not something what I wanted to see but I'm hoping for something better. If it does turn out amazing/fun, I might just switch over to that and dominate . | ||

He answered this already, he said his salary in Fnatic wasnt good enough for the work involved, but that his salary in NASL was/is better. | ||
