Pomf statement :
This year, Santa Claus is bringing more presents to your Christmas tree : e-sport e-motions directly delivered by the most skilled proplayers of the World on CSGO & Starcraft VOID.
Following a tradition of intense brainstorming, O'Gaming is launching a federating brand for our next events : 0ms, AKA 'no delay to emotion' e-sport parties.
We will develop the 0ms project of Live events by uniting the actual brands we already produce, being NationWars, Iron Squid, Tales of the Lane or the newly produced Red Dot Invitational under a federating banner.
The first edition of 0ms will feature two of the most emblematic e-sport disciplines, games that were played at the birth of competitive gaming in the 2000's, and are brought on the frontscene today in 2015.
To me this is revealing of the power of good games when they are loved and nourished overtime by a passionate community.
We'll be announcing the Ticketing and the Venue for Finals soon, stay tuned, e-story is still to be made.
