Dear fellow eSports junkies!

It has been over a year since we began the MELTDOWN eSports bar adventure. You have been supportive from the very start and this has allowed us to grow our network, expanding to three major cities in Europe: Paris, Berlin and London.

Over the course of MELTDOWN’s lifespan we have received a lot of messages from people who would like to collaborate with us, but sadly there wasn’t enough room for everyone. However, we would now like to give all of you the opportunity to realize your dream of making a living from eSports.

Brace yourselves, the MELTDOWN franchise is coming!

We have already received applications from all over the world from people who would like to launch a MELTDOWN bar: the US, Sweden, Spain, Poland, China… the community is everywhere.

That's why we decided to make this official: you can now open your own MELTDOWN eSports bar!

Find out all the details on our website: http://www.meltdown-world.com/franchise/en/

If you start a MELTDOWN franchise, you'll benefit from:

- our assistance in every step; from the set-up to daily work.
- our growing network; the power of an international presence.
- our partners and sponsors; for great stuff and events all year round.
- and all kinds of cool things you can discover on our website

Feel free to ask any questions you may have; let's make this happen together!

Also Drake Drake Drake, EU security is a joke as well why do you think that one guy killed a British soldier right outside his garrison with a knife only?

Don't feel like the NSA will stop monitoring your porn viewing just because you say you have freedom!

I doubt that anyplace except for the largest cities in North America could have even a remote chance of making an eSports themed bar profitable.

I know and it bums me out. The Boston Area just got barcraft up an running again, but it so deep into the city and there is no parking. It sucks a little bit.

Seriously, folks, its pretty clear I was kidding around. I am exicted for Meltdown and people should discuss that rather than my poor attempt at humor.

Would be pretty good if WCS EU change their offline place from Cologne to Paris in 2014. Meltdown and Blizzard EU HQ are in Paris

Wow, pretty impressive. This could have a lot of success if placed correctly.

Hopefully you have a good way to help partners find the best locations, it would be unfortunate if these bars missed the chance to succeed.

I guess it makes sense to keep the financials private this early on, but I'm curious about the specifics. Franchise fee, % of revenue, local advertising %, required assets, etc.
