  • LCCC Esports Proposal
    #TAKE FLIGHT Proposal for the Establishment of Esports at Laramie County Community College March 5, 2021 1 Executive Summary In fall of 2018, athletic director, Mr. Clark Rasmussen, developed an Esports committee; they explored the addition of Esports as a collegiate sport. As a part of that exploration an Esports Club was developed and began operating in Fall 2019. The inaugural club membership was six students. In fall 2019, the committee continued to meet with new Interim Athletic Director, Dr. Cindy Henning. As a result of changes in the athletic department, the Esports Committee was paused until Golden Eagle Athletics strategic planning was developed. In spring 2020, the Golden Eagles Athletics Strategic Plan was completed and approved. One component of the strategic plan is “wise exploration of areas for potential expansion of Golden Eagle Athletics offerings” (Soaring Into the Future, LCCC Golden Eagle Athletics 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, p. 4). As of spring 2021, the Esports Club has 31 members comprised of 25 men and six women. The most common programs LCCC’s Esports club members choose are: computer science, cyber security, computer information systems, Art, Multimedia and Music. In addition, English, Human Services, Criminal Justice, and Business Finance/Management are represented. Although Laramie County Community College and Golden Eagle Athletics experienced budget reductions in fiscal year 22, adopting Esports as an approved athletic offering supports the LCCC Mission, increases opportunities for students, including scholarships, aligns with the Golden Eagles Athletics strategic plan, and can be initiated at a much lower cost than other sports. What is Esports? Esports is “online competitive video gaming played through computers and electronic consoles” (Laramie County Community College, [n.d.].

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

Melee (SSBM) , a platform-based fighting game released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2001. SSBM is unusual as an esport for the way that it is built on a grass-roots foundation shaped by players (rather than the game's developers) and is contingent on the continued use of residual media objects, specifically the CRT television, Nintendo GameCube and Wii console coupled with the restraints of analog signal processing. SSBM players show particular dedication to dominant community practices like strict tournament rules and settings, shared use of dialect/nomenclatures, mode of play and so on, which are derived from, embedded in, and reinforced by specific hardware and software objects.

  • Understanding Professional Gaming
    STOCKHOLM SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION MSC IN BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS MASTER’S THESIS Understanding professional gaming A comparative analysis of Korean and Western organisations Kristofer Lindahl (40216) and Cedric Diserens (40218) 10/12/2012 Supervisor : Johan Berglund Examiner : Dag Björkegren Abstract In this thesis we seek to explore how “Professional Gaming Teams” in Korea and the western world are different from each other, and the underlying reasons for those differences. We perform an extensive pre-study that provides a deeper understanding of the eSport environment, identify theoretical frameworks to explain the differences between teams, and apply these frameworks to explain how the external environment affects the internal culture of the teams. In order to do this, we conduct critical interviews with game developers, tournament organizers, and team managers. We combine these sources with podcasts, news articles, and other types of media produced by the very active eSport community to create a foundational understanding of a market that has received next to no attention in academic circles. We employ McKinsey’s 7s framework to show how the internal workings of Professional Gaming Teams in Korea are different from those in the west. We also utilize PESTLE model, as well as Porter’s Five Forces to analyze the external environment of the eSport market. These three models provide a holistic approach and a broad understanding of forces that were, until recently, unexplored in the eSport industry. The results of our thesis show that it is external influences that cause Korean and Western teams to focus on different dimensions of their organizations.
