Trata-se de um trabalho original, nunca submetido (no seu todo ou em qualquer das suas partes constituintes) a uma outra instituição de ensino superior para obtenção de grau académico ou qualquer outra habilitação. Ademais, atesto que todas as citações estão devidamente identificadas, tendo consciência de que o plágio levará à anulação do trabalho aqui apresentado. Lisboa, 18 de setembro de 2019 ii Resumo Em Portugal, o crescente interesse do público nos denominados esports, e mais especificamente no Counter-Strike, suscitou um enorme desenvolvimento do cenário competitivo nos últimos anos, o que tem levado as organizações de desportos eletrónicos a desenvolverem esforços na tentativa de evoluir em conformidade. No entanto, apesar da profissionalização das várias entidades a operar neste meio e do aparecimento de novos investidores e patrocinadores, a abordagem da maioria das organizações é ainda, na sua larga maioria, semiprofissional ou mesmo amadora. Semelhante ao que outrora aconteceu com as organizações de desportos tradicionais, um dos aspetos fulcrais neste processo de formalização operacional é a vertente do Marketing e da Comunicação. Este trabalho de projeto tem precisamente como objetivo apresentar uma proposta de plano de comunicação para a organização profissional de desportos eletrónicos portuguesa Offset Esports.

  • ESL Announces European Grassroots Initiative Expanding Path to Pro League for CS:GO
    Jun 26, 2017 16:00 BST ESL Announces European Grassroots Initiative Expanding Path to Pro League for CS:GO The world’s largest esports company, ESL, is today proud to reveal a new initiative to expand its path for aspiring Counter-Strike: Global-Offensive (CS:GO) players to rise through the ranks from the National Championship level onto the amateur ranks in order to qualify for the largest CS:GO league in the world, the ESL Pro League. Starting with ESEA Season 26, the winners of the ESL UK Premiership and the ESL Mistrzostwa Polski, the official national leagues of the UK & Ireland and Poland respectively, will claim a place to compete in the Mountain Dew League (MDL). This unique partnership provides a clear pathway for CS:GO players to progress from amateur ranks to compete on the world stage linking the national leagues to the Pro League through MDL. The investment in the path-to-pro system will continue from Season 27 with ESL’s French, Spanish and German leagues providing qualification spots to the MDL, establishing ESL’s national leagues as the leading grassroots CS:GO leagues in each territory. The already-established ESEA League will continue to run alongside this new initiative. To achieve this, ESL is set to move its European National Championships to be part of ESEA’s system creating promotion spots up to MDL, the only league that feeds directly into the Pro League. The team that wins the National Championship will qualify for the MDL, creating a clear path from there to the Pro League.

  • Project Horseshoe 2018 Report Section 4
    Participants: A.K.A. "Who Watches The Watchmen" Steve Meretzky, Independent Dave Rohrl, Mobile Game Doctor Juan Gril, Independent Ian Schreiber, RIT Kenny Shea Dinkin, King Mission statement: to understand why players passively watch games … either as a pure spectator, or in their own gameplay during periods of low interaction or low agency … and to give gamemakers a blueprint for creating watchable games. What makes games watchable? YouTube influencers and Twitch streaming have become a major force affecting the game industry. Each year, tens of millions of players enjoy spectating the growing category of esports, while at the same time the growing phenomenon of player walkthroughs has many millions of players watching videos for game hints and help or pure entertainment. In addition to these purely passive experiences, there are important and widely adopted forms of gameplay that in many ways looks more like traditional experiences of watching rather than traditional experiences of playing. These include games where the player has little or no control of the game’s outcome (as in a slot machine or an on-rails linear narrative game) and games where the player only interacts with the game quite infrequently (as in idle games, anthill-type simulations, and map-based MMORTS games like Travian). We now live in an environment where games don’t just have to consider what it’s like to play them, but also what it’s like to watch them - even if the player gets to interact with them sometimes. Professional sports have been designed this way for many years (although we only get a new one of those that catches on once every several generations), but it’s a relatively new design consideration for today’s video game and board game designers.
