I know the only city known in e-sports in Poland is Katowice but seriously ppl... MAKE ONE IN GDAŃSK or at least a little closer north. ~~800-900 km is a tad much and I'm a lazy guy XD

Now we should think of of the opposite of "[insert] is killing e-sports" cause this ROCKS!

Yeah, Adelaide probably doesn't have much of a shot :/ But with Melbourne's Mana Bar closing down, someone should jump on this opportunity. It would have to be Sydney, Melbourne or Perth.

This seems like it would only work for someone who is seriously good at business and seriously into esports (Fighting games, FPS, RTS, and MOBA). I dunno how much it cost to invest and start one of these franchise but it seems like it would be a pretty big risk for even the aforementioned. Not to naysay, but it just seems like you really need a driven, dedicated, and very intelligent person to make it work.

In other news, there is a classic arcade bar in new york. http://barcadebrooklyn.com/

So Maybe some sort of transition hybrid bar that does half esports/half arcade or pc cafe. Something that can support itself and has multiple legs.

Want one in East Bay, I think something along the lines of bar + icecream + coffee located around university ave. in Berkeley would do well. There's lots of traffic late night around the Cal campus.

its always been a lifelong goal of mine to open up a PC Cafe- I have barista experienc, a business degree, and real estate license. Due to economic recession I dont have much in the way of equity so I'd need plenty of angel investors and a lot of interest in a Meltdown opened up in North Hollywood/Burbank/Glendale/Santa Monica areas before applying for a small business loan. so pm me or reply :D

edit: ofcourse if someone is more well-to-do than me I'd love to work as a bartender/barista part-time
the best way to add insult to injury is to sign someones cast

just hope none of these franchises are allowed to have a League of Legend theme... that's the last thing we need...

I signed up just to reply to this thread.

My and my brother recently went to Meltdown in london to watch the TI3 finals and both agreed the place was a dive. We got there early, around 4-5ish and the place was filthy, the floor was covered in dust, the tables and bar where sticky and there was paint peeling off the walls, the place was just generally in a shabby state. The range of drinks available was pretty mediocre too, and the cocktails offered could basically be summed up as Vodka + energy drink + x.

Now don't get me wrong, I really like the idea of a gamer bar for esports, its a cool idea, but it wasn't a very enjoyable place to go drink, even with an esports distraction. Most of these problems could be solved by cleaning properly and applying a lick of paint and some decoration, not piling your trash right in the entrancement and cleaning out the back room so empty cardboard boxes didn't spill over into the bar are would also help.

Props to the guys who organized it though, the quiz was very fun, seeing everyone hunched over trying to work out who the shadows where was great.
