Thanks Bob, I'm just lucky I'm able to find a lot of people that truly want to help e-sports grow in NA that are willing to help out for Pokemon TCG cards. Still have to hire a few more casters, get website up and running, and twitch pages pretty!

Actually Saskatchewan and Manitoba have pretty strong SC2 communities. I may end up adding Montana and North Dakota to them if the population has dropped since I started this journey.

I'm going to take a good look at it after this weekend. I have my New England tournament this weekend.

*UPDATE 4/12/12*
Here is the new stories! I've rehired the 8th producer again and we are down to only 3 casting positions left. I know there are a bunch of you out there that have what it takes, it's just a matter of you connecting to me.

I spent all this past weekend (except Sunday, that was Easter) at PAXEast chatting with current and future potential sponsors. Our current sponsors are Kingston, Cooler Master, and NZXT. We may be able to add ASUS, Antec, MSI, EVGA, Geekchic, and Mesa Mundi. The last two don't have anything to do with computer parts, which is a huge thing tbh. It will be another step forward in e-sports for finding sponsors that see the value in our product and the market they can reach.

I also spoke with several game companies about getting early access to be able to stream and look into seeing them as a competitive sport. The future and added content looks good

Thanks guys, I can't promise we will have the added sponsors, but talking with them at PAX, they showed a lot of enthusiasm for it. Especially with what we have to offer with the multiple channels and getting unknown players more spotlight and supporting the growth of the scene.

It's not a necro, but a last update. The website is in the finishing stages of being built. All graphics are finished and just need to be applied to the streams. Hiring 1 producer to fill a vacant spot

And sponsorship deals are being worked out with Kingston and Antec already on board officially. Still have to work a little with Tt esports and ASUS. See you all next month
