That wasn't my point anyway. Don't get me wrong, I love Sundance and MLG for what they do. But he has a very american look on things.

You laugh but his second knowledge bomb just dropped, while some other panelists are just making fun of each other or just answering with "we don't know". Not nearly as constructive answers.

Dreamhack is moving to America!

+ Show Spoiler +
Just kidding, but it's the smart thing to do financially, apparently! That's because more Americans watch Dreamhack than any other country- including Sweden

Redeye:

How do you get more mainstream sponsors involved in events, can you then share that knowledge with other events

Sundance

Getting sponsors has unique challenges because we're not the same as traditional sports competitions, it's key to demonstrate to main stream brands (Namedrops sponsors) how the unique delivery of esports content can be great for their market.

Important to be able to demonstrate your track record.

Ralf

Gaming is still brand new so getting a company into the mindsight of "oh we need to do something in gaming" is hard. Often times it's hard to get a decent position in marketing spending because we're still at the beginning of the esports phenomenon.

Robert

We're small, we have a small population, and our number 1 viewing figures come from the US. Really we should move the whole thing! It's important to work out how to promote what is good about a global audience. It can be hard to get people to understand the benefits of showing off on a global scale when they are used to marketing to a local audience

Redeye

Formula one has global sports because they are a global brand, should we be doing the same?

Robert

We're still in the infancy and talking about lifestyle brands, but we haven't realised ourselves that we need to be approaching bigger brands.

Redeye

How do you get those sponsors

Robert

If we join forces there's a synergistic effect, and it looks better to people from the outside looking in.

Well yeah, but every country should try their best to foster growth in their own country. : )

French guy: If someone would just give us sponsors instead of us looking for them, that would be more simple.

* missed some stuff, sorry. Mostly the same track as before regarding*

Ralf:

Sundance doing a good job with doctor pepper in NA = great for people looking to do the same in Europe, there's a big marketing span and you then have comparisons to other succesful ventures.

redeye:

asks mathieu about government support

Matthieu:

answers and I miss it

David:

part of IGN, the challenge is to convince people that Esports is it. When all the tournaments are talking they are all talking to different kinds of contacts, and people are competing + helping each other out by doing so.

There's a lot of things to figure out about working out how to best go about getting sponsorships, and in some ways having lots of people approach the problem from different angles will actually help work out the best paths for future esports ventures.

Redeye:

yeah, sponsorship isn't exactly straight forward

Mathieu:

it's very difficult dividing budget between local & other countries and trying to get people interested in the right area.

Sundance just stated that Raleigh is not a sure venue/ city for next year (3 year deal just ended), so for next year, there may be MLG Raleigh again, or that MLG event may be in another city
