It’s action-packed world class entertainment from the doors open to the confetti bonanza when the trophy is lifted. When we played in Copenhagen, we were blown away by the set-up and the way it was all set up to engage the audience. They created an insane atmosphere, and should I ever go to watch a live tournament as a fan, BLAST would certainly be up there among the favourites. It’s really, really intense, and I really want to lift that Golden A Trophy in Istanbul, Karrigan comments. Tarik ”tarik” Celik is thrilled to play a big tournament on Turkish ground for the first time ever: - I am so excited to bring my team mates to Istanbul to show them the city and introduce them to the amazing people there. Winning the Major was the biggest thing in my life, but being able to go and participate in an event like BLAST Pro Series in the country of my parents… It will be an amazing experience, and we will do everything to make the fans proud. We have never been to BLAST before, but from everything we’ve seen and heard it’s the best event you can imagine and we can’t wait to play on that stage in front of that audience!

The coming two years will be crucial in how fast it grows into a multi-billion-dollar business. The key determining factors are the success of local leagues and the franchising approach, the implementation of regulations, the arrival of new game formats and competition, the uptake of content rights sales, team profitability, and the impact of industry convergence involving traditional media, entertainment, telecom, and sports companies. Depending on how these factors play out in the coming year or two, esports’ growth could accelerate and reach $2.4 billion in 2020 in an optimistic scenario, almost $1 billion higher than the base scenario of $1.5 billion.

  • James Bardolph and Ddk Preview the ECS Finals
    12/1/2017 CS:GO: James Bardolph and ddk preview the ECS finals # esports James Bardolph and ddk preview the ECS finals © FACEIT June 19 · By Mike Stubbs The biggest CS:GO teams in the world will head to London in a week to try and become ECS Season 3 champions, so we caught up with the casters for their predictions. The last half year has arguably been the most stable time in the history of CS:GO. The two established online leagues returned for more seasons. The bigname tournament organisers have continued to raise the bar when it comes to LAN events and the schedule hasn’t been as crazy as it was last year. All in all, there have been a lot of improvement and not a lot in the way of gambles that haven’t paid off. This stability meant that event organisers could take more risks, and this is certainly what the folks over at FACEIT did for ECS Season 3. The league had seen rapid growth in its first year, but for the third season they decided to make some changes, specifically to the broadcast itself. Gone was the London studio and the team moved over to California to broadcast from The eSports Arena. This brought with it a more relaxed atmosphere and casual casting style that really resonated with fans. Season 3 of ECS has easily been its best yet and that’s before we’ve even got to the LAN finals. The endofseason event is due to take place on June 24 and 25 at Wembley Arena in London and it promises to be the biggest yet.

  • Esports and the Requirements for Communication: Analyzing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive As a Professional Game
    Esports and the requirements for communication: analyzing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as a professional game Aleksi Oksala 682285A Bachelor’s Seminar and Thesis English Faculty of Humanities University of Oulu Autumn 2020 Abstract The purpose of this thesis was to gain an understanding of how essential communication is for esports athletes. This study focused on the game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and the communication required to succeed at the highest level in this particular first person shooter game. Cognitive requirements, stressors and challenges were taken into consideration before analyzing the communication of a professional CS:GO team. The methods and materials that were used were taken from the field of psychology and literature on video gaming. Literature was studied closely and many different points of view were taken into consideration, such as the physical and mental health of the esports athlete. This thesis explained the input and output systems of the professional esports athletes. This method of analysis was done with the information in Patricia Miller’s book, Theories of Developmental Psychology, using Information Processing Theory as my methodological standpoint. As empirical data was not used in this particular thesis, the conclusions that were reached was done by deducing the facts underlined in Information Processing Theory combining them what was visible and audible within the round that was analyzed. This thesis found out that esports athletes make complex decisions based on the visual stimuli they are exposed to. They make short and informative call-outs, make pinpointed actions with their mice and keyboard while receiving mass amounts of visual and auditory stimuli that is also being processed continuously.
