Jordi Roig, Executive Producer of BLAST Pro Series comments: - BLAST Pro Series is the best of all live entertainment and sports formats in one. Miami will be our first first ever tournament in North America, and it will probably be the biggest live esports in US of 2019. Last week we opened the ticket sales for our São Paulo tournament and within hours the arena was completely sold out.

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.

    Event marketing and PR for Grail Quest Attracting and reaching audience in esports Felix Kaukiainen Bachelor’s thesis for Business Administration Marketing Åbo 2018 EXAMENSARBETE Författare: Felix Kaukiainen Utbildning och ort: Företagsekonomi, Åbo Inriktningsalternativ/Fördjupning: Marknadsföring Handledare: Camilla Ekman Titel: Event marketing and PR for Grail Quest – Attracting and reaching audience in esports _________________________________________________________________________ Datum: 5.11.2018 Sidantal:43 Bilagor: 1 _________________________________________________________________________ Abstrakt Under de senaste åren har e-sport blivit ett allt mer diskuterat ämne i medier. Tävlingsinriktat spelande (esport) håller på att formas till något bara få kunde tänka sig. E- sport (som förknippas med spelande) har också varit framgångsrikt på de olika fronterna i branschen. Den globala tilväxten inom e-sport och både nationell samt internationell framgång inom branschen har fått flera organisationer att investera i e-sport. Professionella sportorganisationer byggs upp på samma gång som tävlingar med allt större priser och synlighet väcker uppmärksamheten bland allmänheten. Dessutom har vissa skolor börjat stöda elever som vill rikta in sig på tävlingsinriktat spelande. Grail Quest är ett esport och LAN evenemang som ordnades för första gången 2017 i Gatorade Arena i Åbo 2018 i Kuppis bollhall. Organisatörerna vill med hjälp av evenemanget lyfta fram e-sporten och tävlingsinritkat spelande (videospel) bland allmänheten och nå nya potentiella kunder. Det huvudsakliga syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka kundgruppen för att kartlägga en marknadsföringsstrategi åt följande Grail Quest -evenemanget som kommer att ordnas. I undersökningen ligger fokus på målgruppen e-sportentusiasiter. Arbetet går mer detaljerat in på hur man marknadsför evenemang. Det ser också på vad som krävs för att få ungdomar som tävlar i esport att bli intresserade att delta i ett e-sport och LAN- evenemang.

  • Esport: Defusing Governance
    Esport: Defusing Governance Nicolai Bouet 55466 & Oskar Rørbye Rønn 43062 Master Thesis Pages: 103 Characters including spaces: 233,642 MSc International Business / Cand.merc.International Business Supervisor: Sven Junghagen Co-supervisor: Philippe Bochaton 15/05/2018 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to explore how esport is governed and to investigate whether governance is an important factor in esports at the professional level. To do this, the methodology developed by Geeraert and co-authors (2014) and AGGIS are combined to create a checklist of governance indicators for esport. Focusing on the relationship between game publishers, event organisers, and esport organisations, a sample of thirteen esports and eleven event organisers are investigated and eight interviews are conducted to obtain industry knowledge directly. Main findings are that esport is governed either by the game publisher, event organiser, or a combination of both, and that currently governance have a limited impact on esport. The potential limitations of this thesis are the lack of diversity across interviewees and lack of game publisher willingness to participate. 2 of 121 Table of Contents ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................................................... 2 ABBREVIATIONS .......................................................................................................................................... 5 INTRODUCTION ..........................................................................................................................................

The hardcore music scene represents a radical departure from contemporary society. Rejecting the materialism, militarism, and hedonism of the mainstream music scene—and, by extension, modern culture—hardcore music presents an alternative lifestyle rooted in solidarity, equality, and liberty. Indeed, the culture of the hardcore scene approaches a transitive, nomadic model of an anarchistic commune built on resistance as a way of life.
