Take announced their next big project today: an Indiegogo campaign trying to raise $100,000 by December 16th for a new location that's currently under construction.


WHAT’S THIS ABOUT?

We as the team of TaKeTV want to go the next step together with you: TaKeTV is moving! To provide you, our community, with not only good but even better content in the future we’re investing a lot of money in our common TaKeTV future with a new, way bigger location with many incredible opportunities!


Announced perks:

In addition to the perks listed above we came up with some nice actions we will put into practice as soon as we managed to reach the following amounts of money:

2,500 $ - SingStar battle

We will arrange two progamers to compete in what could possibly be the most muted competition ever on the internet!

10,000 $ - Mila Superstar Cosplay

Our casters will dress up in Mila style and play a volleyball match.

25,000 $ - "Kappa" the watchdog

If we reach this milestone we will adopt a TaKeTV dog and name him Kappa. Yes we are for real. In addition, Kappa will be equipped with a GoPro to help us out with more diverse camera angles for our live shows!

50,000 $ - Twitch plays Dennis

If you ever wanted to live a day in the life of an Esports personality this is your chance! Control Dennis 'TaKe' Gehlen via Twitch Chat and help him achieve some epic quests that we will prepare - or make him run into a wall for 5 hours.

75,000 $ - Kick-Off Event

To give our new home the start that it deserves, we will be livestreaming for a whole week from our new location. We will organize Esports tournaments, do some goofy stuff and entertain you regardless of where you are located on the earth.


Take's tour through the building:

Good luck to Take, will pledge some.

btw I assume you mean $100,000 as in 100k not $100 bucks
edit: yes it's obviously 100k :D

Twitch plays Dennis sounds awesome.

I hope TakeTV doesnt loose it "at home" feeling with HSC10 not at home and this more "professional" location.

Haha, sorry I'm used to using the dot instead of the comma! It's obviously $100k.

@TakeSen

I really like the next step and i hope you will do well and reach your goals you put on to yourself.

The thing that i most loved in all of your HSC´s (especcialy the first ones) was the "home"-feeling.
If you can manage it, to keep that feeling in your new Studio, that would be amazing.
That unique atmosphere that you provide with your hsc´s ist the major difference between your events, and events like Dreamhack, MLG, NASL, IEM and whatever has come and gone over the time.

It would be very sad to lose that.

PS: Dont forget Starcraft! :D

You shouldn't say you are pimping out your house because it has negative connotations with regards to gender equality #GamerGate

Congrats on upgrading to Tier 3!

Maybe you could clarify a bit more what the crowdfunding money will be used for? I mean, obviously it's good to have money at hand, but what would you be able to do that you couldn't without the money (since moving is already a given)? The milestones seem to be more community rewards rather than project milestones in a traditional meaning.

For the people who are worried about the "home" feeling getting lost, when they moved to the new location, in the big 30min video he says something about this at 05:10min

my dear god. and they say entrepreneurship is dead in EU(GER?).

if only ~70 percent of what you awesome people of taketv have planned can be realized this will be THE SHIT.

the flexibility and possibilities will be unparalleled. if - god forbid - one of our beloved esports games might lose traction this studio(s) give(s) you so many ways to compensate or simply go another route and start something new.

all the best take & crew.

Yeah i agree.. I love TakeTv but i don't really understand why they're asking money for? I'm guessing to buy equipments that'll help them set up and maintain the building ?

According to the video announcement he took a pretty big loan, so I guess it is to minimize his risk to run out of money etc?

yeah pretty much. to give additional value to the donators you have the goodies/mile stones. they won't go broke/lose the new house or anything if they don't "raise enough" or something like that, but it would enable them to do more events/stuff faster.

at least that's the impression I am getting.

That's a lot of money even if you're only slightly optimistic.

He anounced in the first "Show video", that he is going to do more videos like this. He will always give us quick updates about the curent status at the new location. He did the same thing with the curent or future old studio.

So you will see for what your money is used to.
