Jakob Lund Kristensen, RFRSH Entertainment Jakob Lund Kristensen, RFRSH Entertainment „There will always be brands that can’t align themselves with a shooting game“ In the interview, Jakob Lund Kristensen, founder of RFRSH Entertainment, talks about the commitment of non-endemic brands, the Danish recipe for success and future plans. The Danish Super Team of Astralis has again won the ESL Pro League Finals. With nearly 2 million social media followers and over 60 million impressions per month, Astralis is one of the world's largest team brands within the tactical shooter Counter-Strike (CS: GO). RFRSH Entertainment represents and manages the strategic and commercial activities of Astralis. RFRSH Entertainment also owns and operates the BLAST Pro Series, including all media production around the teams and brands. Denmark has produced some of the world's most talented eSports players in CS:GO. Why is that? Kristensen: First and foremost I think it is worth mentioning that Counter- Strike is far from the only game where Danish players are dominating. We have amazing players in many other games including League of Legends and DotA 2. I think Denmark has been very lucky to have a strong internet infrastructure and grassroots opportunities around esports from early on. In Counter-Strike specifically there has always been amazing talent in Denmark but we are now also at the forefront of adding that extra layer on top of just the talent. With the work currently being done with Astralis I think we will set a blueprint that will allow Danish players to continue their dominance in the coming years. The german eSports is growing, but compared with Denmark, Germany is rather behind. How do you rate this? Kristensen: I think its mainly a question about disruption. We have always had great players in Denmark across the titles but no one ever really broke through to the mainstream before Astralis. With the willingness of such noted investors and entrepreneurs as Tommy Ahlers, Rene Rechtman and Nikolaj Nyholm to be backing the project in a very public manner, they set a whole new tone around esports. The willingness to invest into an organisation that wasn’t purely based on esports people but brought together the best people from professional sports, media, entertainment and the commercial world. This created a movement that has since been picked up by everyone from politicians to media outlets and the mainstream audience. You said that there are a lot of enterprises, wasting there money in eSports. Which advise do have for the first engagement in eSport? Kristensen: I think the main thing people need to ask themselves is what value does their engagement in esport bring. If you can identity this crucial part, it is quite easy to align the rest of your communication around it. Let me give you a very good example of how do this right. Jack & Jones has a partnership currently still running with Astralis. Jack&Jones really wanted to bring what they do best, clothing, to a new level in esports and they created the first every esports jersey truly build from the ground up with the players. This showed their passion and seriousness towards not only esports but also their own product. That jersey is now the most sold sports jersey of any team in Denmark. RFRSH Entertainment has put the Team Astralis into a partnership with Audi, Jack&Jones and so on - how difficult is it to convince non-endemics of a game like Counter-Strike? Kristensen: There will always be brands that can’t align themselves with a shooting game. That is just the reality of it. I think the reason Astralis has been so successful with mainstream partners despite this is because the brand itself is so clearly defined and tangible. Most other esports organisations have so many teams, players and games going on that its impossible for a non-endemic partner to fully understand exactly what they are and who they are talking to. With Astralis its perfectly clear. These five guys have a set core of values including performance, professionalism and dedication to their craft that many brands can work with and stand behind. What ist the big problem of eSport-Events? Can the Blast pro Series solve them? Kristensen: In my eyes the big problem with the current type of Counter- Strike events out there is that it made by really core people for really core fans. The system simply doesn’t allow for an outside viewer to really engage with it or understand what is going on. A good example of this would be the play off format for most events where you have to spend 10 hours in the arena both friday and Saturday and even 5-6 hours on top of that Sunday. No one outside the most hardcore fans can do that. I am in no way saying that the BLAST Pro Series is the shiny golden solution to all problems. It is simply made with a different goal in mind compared to many other events. The best possible one day experience in the arena, the opportunity for outside and non-core fans to engage and the best possible product for linear TV. If you look at your results so far, we have succeeded. What are the next plans for RFRSH? Which are the next big goals? Kristensen: We will be bringing out the big global tour of the BLAST Pro Series in 2019 with 8 stops around the world. Furthermore we recently expanded our RFRSH Teams business with a slot in the LEC (League of Legends European Championship) under the Origen brand. So we have our plate full and it should be an amazing 2019. Why should people dive into the eSport.Business.Forum? What may our guests expect from you? Kristensen: Even though I am an industry veteran I bring a very different perspective on a lot of things. We at RFRSH Entertainment work with the mentality of everything can be challenged and done better. We strive to push the boundaries of what esports can become. I am really looking forward to explaining more about our work with both the BLAST Pro Series and with Astralis both from an operational viewpoint but also commercial. .

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.

  • 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.

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.
