Astralis: Danmarks bästa lag och rankad fyra i världen. Astralis väckte uppmärksamhet i dansk press när de erhöll en investering på sju miljoner danska kronor från Sunstone Capital och den danska entreprenören Tommy Ahlers, i samband med bildningen av den nya organisationen 2016. Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP): Flyttade nyligen till Landskrona för att arbeta med produktutveckling tillsammans med Xtrfy. Rankas sjua i världen och veteranen Patrik ”f0rest” Lindberg är, enligt en uträkning som Red Bull gjort, den spelare i världen som sammanlagt vunnit mest pengar under sin Counter Strike-karriär– 3 198 742 kronor från 170 turneringar_. Coach är esport-legenden Emil ”HeatoN” Christiansen, som senast syntes i SVT-programmet Gympaläraren där han hjälpte Kalle Zackari Wahlström att få skolungdomar att röra på sig. Luminosity: Utan konkurrens Brasiliens bästa lag. Vann nyligen MLG Columbus och katapulterade därmed laget till andra plats på världsrankingen. Om Virtus.pro har de äldsta spelarna så har Luminosity de yngsta - snittåldern är 19,6år. Virtus.pro: Polens bästa lag och rankade femma i världen. Med en snittålder på 25,4 år är Virtus.pro det lag med äldst spelare i turneringen, men ska absolut inte räknas ut för det. Under 2015 vann laget både Copenhagen Games och ESEA League. Natus Vincere (Na´Vi): Lagnamnet betyder ”Född att erövra” på latin – vilket var precis vad de gjorde på DreamHack Leipzig tidigare år. Na´Vi är inte bara Ukrainas bästa CS:GO-lag, utan även en av världens mest kända e-sportorganisationer, som huserar topplag inom DOTA2, Na´Vi är inte bara Ukrainas bästa CS:GO-lag, utan även en av världens mest kända e-sportorganisationer, som huserar topplag inom DOTA2, Heroes of the Storm och Hearthstone. EnVyUs: Precis som Na´Vi är EnVyUs en stor e-sportorganisation, med lag som tävlar på elitnivå i CS:GO, Call of Duty, Smite, Starcraft II, Halo och Gears of War. CS:GO-laget är Frankrikes bästa och rankas sexa i världen. FaZe: Ett av få europeiskt mixade lag – där norrmännen Joakim ”jkaem” Myrbostad och Håvard ”rain” Nygaard ingår. Tidigare i veckan ställde de svenska världsmästarna Fnatic in på grund av att Olof ”olofmeister” Kajbjer ådragit sig en infektion i armen. Franska G2 tar Fnatics plats i turnén. Därmed står hoppet om svensk seger till NiP och till Sundsvall-sonen Marcus ”pronax” Wallstens nya organisation Godsent. Den officiella världsrankningen: HLTV Resterande åtta lag har kvalificerat sig till turneringen via fyra öppna turneringar: Från amerikanska kvalet: Team Liquid – USA Tempo Storm – Brasilien Counter Logic Gaming – USA Från asiatiska kvalet: TyLoo – Kina Från de europeiska kvalen: Godsent - Sverige Team Dignitas – Danmark Mouseports – Tyskland Counter Strike Gaming Lounge – Polen Om dokumentärserien Journey To Dreamhack Masters I samband med storturneringen lanserar Dreamhack en ny dokumentärserie: Journey to Dreamhack Masters. Serien kommer att bestå av tre avsnitt där vi får följa svenska NiP och danska Astralis i deras förberedelser inför den kommande storturneringen. Dokumentärserien är producerad av David Guvå som tidigare har gjort kortfilmsdokumentären No Regrets. Fredagen den 8 april kl. 20:00 sänds första avsnittet på Twitch och Youtube Fredagen den 15 april kl. 20:00 sänds andra avsnittet på Twitch och Youtube Fredagen den 22 april kl. 20:00 sänds sista avsnittet på Twitch och Youtube Gruppspelet Grupp A Luminosity Team Liquid Mouseports Tyloo Grupp B Na´vi G2 Esports Counter Logic Gaming Godsent (tidigare Ancient) Grupp C Astralis NiP Team Dignitas Lounge.gg Grupp D Virtus.Pro EnVyUs FaZe Clan Tempo Storm Gruppspelsmatcherna spelas bäst av en karta.

Om spelet Counter Strike: Global Offensive Counter Strike:Global Offensive (CS:GO) är ett skjutspel i förstapersons-genren, vilket innebär att bildskärmen motsvarar spelarens synfält och att skjutvapnet är spelarens främsta verktyg. Varje lag består av fem spelare. Man spelar antingen terrorist eller counter-terrorist. Terroristernas uppgift är att placera en bomb på en viss punkt på en karta, medan counter-terroristerna ska se till att terroristerna inte lyckas. Matcherna i gruppspelet spelas bäst av en karta medan matcherna i slutspelet spelas bäst av tre kartor. Varje karta brukar ta mellan 30 - 60 minuter att spela. Counter Strike: Global Offensive är utvecklat av amerikanska Valve. Om spelspråket Förklaringar till de vanligast använda orden och termerna i CS:GO: Acea – Innebär att man tar ut samtliga motståndare. Kravet är att alla övriga lagmedlemmar måste vara utslagna samtidigt för att det ska klassas som ett ”ace". Aggro – Kan beskriva aggressiva strategier i spel, men kan även innebära att någon har en viss spelare som sitt specifika mål. Awper – krypskytt som täcker upp lagmedlemmarna Baita: Locka ut eller lura. Man kan till exempel låta motståndaren jaga en mot en buske där resterande lag står och gömmer sig. Campa – Stå kvar på ett och samma ställe och vänta tills motståndaren springer förbi för att slå ut personen. Det blir lättare, då man hela tiden har siktet inställt på en viss punkt. Clutcha - Betyder att en spelare vinner även då hen är i underläge. Till exempel om hen är ensam kvar mot X antal motståndare. Entry Fragger – första personen som går till attack. Flashbanga – En slags granat som gör att du, om motståndaren kastar den på dig, blir oförmögen att se något i några sekunder vilket underlättar denne att ta ut dig lättare. GG – Förkortning för "Good Game" och något man oftast säger när man vunnit en match eller helt enkelt varit nöjd med den trots att man förlorat. GLHF – Förkortning av "Good Luck, Have Fun" och är något man kan säga till motståndaren eller motståndarlaget när man startar en match. Hitbox – Ytan på stället du kan träffa motståndaren. Ju större yta, desto enklare blir det att sikta och träffa; ju mindre yta, desto svårare och mer tekniskt krävande. Lagga – Annat ord för att fastna eller skaka/hoppa till. Detta kan bland annat orsakas av dålig uppkoppling till antingen sitt egna internet eller spelets servrar. Lagg kan även uppstå om datorn blir för varm eller något annat är fel då man i spelet kan hoppa till okontrollerat eller liknande Strat Caller – lagledaren och ansvarig för att spelstrategin följs Lurker – har som uppgift att flankera och i bästa fall överraska motståndarna. Rusha – Springa snabbt mot ett visst mål. För ännu mer information, vänligen besök masters.dreamhack.com.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Gamesquare Deck V1.3 Optimize
    GameSquare Investor Presentation V1.1 Introduction Esports is now a mainstream form of entertainment; famed Fortnite player Ninja, who has had as many as 667,000 live watchers at the same time1, was featured on the cover of ESPN The Magazine in September 2018. For perspective, NBC’s prime broadcast show The Voice had a weekly audience of about 8 MM in November 20182, putting Ninja’s audience at over 8% of this figure. Ninja is successful, earning over $350,000 per month3. Though on a per-viewer basis, this is far less than what shows such as The Voice generate. Gamesquare will improve monetization of Esports viewership to address this gap. Our proposed business model is to make an outright purchase of the streaming rights of Esports players and teams, so that we can monetize them through methods such as product placement, sponsorships, and advertising. Further demonstrating the popularity of Esports, more than 50 US colleges and universities have varsity Esports teams4. Further, Goldman Sachs anticipates the monetization of Esports will go from $655 MM (2017) to just under $3 B (2022)5. 1 https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/ninja-espn-magazine-cover-1202947409/ 2 https://www.nielsen.com/us/en/top10s.html 3 https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2018/03/09/fortnite-goD-ninja-is-making-at-least-350000-a-month- from-twitch-subscriptions/ 4 http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/21152905/college-esports-list-varsity-esports-programs-north-america 5 https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/pages/infographics/e-sports/report.pDf So, how big is

    Counter Logic Gaming Names Weldon Green League Of Legends Head Coach November 1, 2018 NEW YORK, Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) announced today that Weldon Green has been named head coach for the organization’s League of Legends team on a multi-year agreement. Green, a championship-winning sport psychology trainer and assistant coach in both the North American and European League Championship Series, most recently served as the Chief Executive Officer of Mind GamesConsulting, a company he founded that focuses on high-performance coaching for esports athletes, coaches and executives. “Weldon brings with him a deep understanding of how a winning culture is created for a League of Legends team – his resume, which includes four LCS titles, speaks for itself,” said Nick Allen, COO Counter Logic Gaming. “His vision, strong leadership and effective communication will be invaluable assets as we compete for the championship.” “When I started my career in esports as a professional coach and sports psychology trainer, it was with CLG,” said Green. “Now, it almost feels like I'm completing a circle and coming back home to CLG. My primary goal for the League of Legends team is to first and foremost retake the title. I’m excited to be here at CLG and just want to let our fans know: the faithful shall be rewarded.” Green, a native of Minnesota, has been part of two NA LCS championship teams, in 2015 with CLG, and in 2016 with TSM; and two European Union LCS championship teams, both in 2017 with G2. He has a master’s degree in sports science, sport, and exercise psychology from the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland, and a bachelor of arts in math and English from St.
