ETF2L – Latest activity in “WASM 2013 TF2” https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-24045/ Reply by adam-skyride https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-24045/page-2/?recent=427972#post=427972 Quoted from Jarppa
Doesn't surprise me at all. The picture I got at the Assembly Summer 2012 was simply that no one wasn't interested (or didn't have time) on administrating a tournament at the party, even though there apparently was a search for people on #tf2.fi. Even if Assembly would've been interested on having TF2 tournament at WASM, the question probably still would've been if there was people for organizing it. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
You're sort of right. Organising it wasn't a problem since we offered to do bassically all the work anyway. The only problem ASM had with TF2 was attendance. It's supposed to be a high-level invite tournament and yet we were scrabbling together mix teams 2 weeks in advance just to fill an 8 slot tournament. When I spoke to them the initial impression was "we'd love to have a tournament as long as you can assure that's no longer the situation, but we're not sure how it'll go with sponsors". The guy i'd been in contact with seemed pretty disappointed he couldn't make it happen. From a sponsorship perspective, the world of esports is a different planet from what it was 2 years ago. When we originally started to get big at i-series, had ASM going for us, etc,,, FPS was king and there wasn't really a wide range of games. Starcraft was a phenomenon almost entirely localized within South Korea and the MOBA genre was only taken seriously in China. Now, as a sponsor, you have a whole range of possible games. A major LoL tournament will break 6 digit viewership without much effort, major SC2 events pull 20k+ on a weekly basis (and the community is very big on sponsorship worship), and then you've got Dota 2 starting to kick ass and take names. Sponsoring any one of these events will give you much better exposure for your money than sponsoring anything short of a summer i-series or a major LAN like ASM or Dreamhack. What we have is a large casual community that could potentially be converted into viewers given the right set of circumstances, and that's what we've been trying to appeal to with sponsors.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=community&topic=24045&post=427972 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:36:44 +0100 Reply by byte https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-24045/page-1/?recent=427972#post=427966 Quoted from Jarppa

You are indeed correct Sir.

So did TF2 lose to CS:GO or could have there been 2 FPS games?]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=community&topic=24045&post=427962 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:45:58 +0100 Reply by Jarppa https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-24045/page-1/?recent=427972#post=427961 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=community&topic=24045&post=427961 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:43:15 +0100 Reply by Setlet https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-24045/page-1/?recent=427972#post=427960 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=community&topic=24045&post=427960 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:37:52 +0100 Reply by Russian Guyovich https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-24045/page-1/?recent=427972#post=427959 Quoted from Ritalin
unfortunate, but nevertheless thanks for your efforts Skyride.
Indeed. Your efforts are greatly appreciated for trying to make this happen.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=community&topic=24045&post=427959 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:32:28 +0100 Reply by VersusPasseism https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-24045/page-1/?recent=427972#post=427956 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=community&topic=24045&post=427956 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:18:15 +0100 Reply by LimputtaJa https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-24045/page-1/?recent=427972#post=427954 Quoted from Skyride
[...] I've been in contact with them for months. Made an initial pitch, kept them updated with exposure stats on various events, etc. When you're in a position like that, you can't just go "oh well it's not going to happen anyway fuck it".
Quite sure wasm2013 comps were announced some good time ago but oh well.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=community&topic=24045&post=427954 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:11:28 +0100 Reply by Jonathan264 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-24045/page-1/?recent=427972#post=427941 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=community&topic=24045&post=427941 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 13:16:07 +0100 Reply by adam-skyride https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/community/topic-24045/page-1/?recent=427972#post=427940 Quoted from Limp.
