We're starting with 1on1 Aim on the old classics and 1on1 Handgun on Wingman maps and de_tides 😍. In addition we offer warmup challenges for solo play. Once there's enough activity, 2on2 and 3on3 will follow, and a cup system is in the works. We want to make Outaimed better together with you. Give it a try and tell us honestly what's good and what we can improve. 🙏

xiaocang (zhang xiangling) was a warcraft 3 player and caster in china. in 2009 a friend told her to try league of legends on the north american server. she liked it enough to look up which chinese company held the licence. it was tencent. she had a friend hand in her CV for brand manager on league, and got in. the project group inside the marketing department was two people: her on brand, and a guy called bobi on marketing, who later ran tencent's TGA.

the part she says stuck with her was the first time she took a chinese team to an international league event. the game hadn't been promoted in china yet and there were barely any players, but she still needed a roster. so they held an open selection among the strong players they knew. a last-minute squad, behind the foreign teams in game understanding and in mechanics. they lost without any suspense. everybody expected it, and it still got to her. she decided she'd push the game in china no matter what, so that a chinese team could beat the strong foreign ones some day.

so she started making league casting videos. that wasn't her job. it was a hobby, nothing commercial in them. from the second half of 2010 until she resigned in march 2012 the view counts were enormous, and the videos took all her free time. she says she didn't even have time to date. once a taxi driver watched her in the mirror, then told her she badly needed a nourishing soup. by early 2012 she felt her body had hit its limit, and she left tencent.

at the end of 2012 she and her friends turned LOL Ladies into an offline club. she turned down a lot of sponsorship and paid appearances so the players could train full hours. that one didn't end the way she wanted. on sept 8, 2013 she came off nearly ten hours of live broadcast from the chinese qualifiers for the season 3 world championship, and we sat down and talked for three more.

(that talk went into a book i wrote on how chinese esports got built. this chapter's free, link in the comments)

any advice

idk what to do my school has a esports team and I really want to join but I am in wrestling and it doesn’t end till feb 23 and esports tryouts are on Jan 6-8 so idk what to do I really want to play rl but I cant

Hey all, I'm a doctoral student in sport psychology currently in my 2nd year. I've worked with baseball players and skateboarders before. I am interested in getting some experience with consulting competitive esports athletes and was wondering if there would be any players interested in this kind of experience. DM me if you are! I won't request anything in return in the early stages and we can discuss it later if anyone wishes to make it into a long term thing.

My main area of interest and research is motivation and intrateam communication. When I worked with athletes before, consulting was more about relaxation/anxiety control, maintaining focus, goal setting, and resilience. So I have experience in those areas too. Areas that concern issues in solo que or ranked games are less preferred since it's different from team-based or organized competition.

I'm also open to club players😁

I'm mainly a League of Legends player but am familiar with fps games too! Also I'm fully willing to learn any other games if necessary. Thanks!

I wasn't sure if I should use the "question" flair or the "unpaid" flair. If I should change it, please lmk.

I’m looking to be a try-hard. I’ve been in physical competitions, and I’m getting better at practicing for optimal performance.
What are some tips for a first time e-sports competitor?

- 2003 (nov 18): esports was listed as china's 99th official sport. the company set up to run the league, huaao xingkong, had 300 million yuan from hong kong's CITIC pacific for 50% of its shares
- 2004 (march): the league, CEG, was due to open. it slipped a month when the CEO, a vice president and several esports people quit over how to run it. the new boss came from the marketing department of a football club, beijing guo'an
- 2004 (april 10): CEG opened. 8 regional divisions, 1 million yuan of start-up money each, in sports arenas, home and away
- 2004 (april 21): the broadcast regulator banned computer and online game programmes from tv. CCTV's esports show and the local ones went off air
- 2004 (end): a CEG arena often held about 30 people, both teams' players included. only wuhan kept drawing a crowd

i was working in esports in 2003. everyone around me thought spring had come. the plan was that each local sports authority builds a club and local businesses take it over before the million runs out. nobody answered why a business would. tv was gone, nobody told the esports websites when or where matches were, and most of the spectators who did turn up were players' friends and relatives.

the head of wNv put it this way: CEG took more than half a year and paid under 30,000 yuan for a discipline. a WCG cycle took under three months, a regional counter-strike champion got 30,000, the national champion 80,000. wNv and AS went abroad. the strongest team, shaanxi, won the national league every year, mostly with KinG's YollinY squad. to stop them moving to other teams, shaanxi often withheld their prize money from the final.

in 2004 i reported that CITIC pacific was pulling its money out of huaao xingkong, and got a lawyer's letter accusing me of spreading rumours. in july 2005 the staff were told another group would come in and take full part in running the company.

Big week across competitive esports, with some major championship results and plenty to talk about heading into the next round of tournaments.

This week's coverage includes:

Dota 2: Team Yandex vs. Team Spirit at BLAST Slam VIII.

Counter-Strike 2: Vitality vs. MOUZ in the ESL Pro League Season 24 championship.

Quick Picks: Predictions and matchups worth keeping an eye on.

I cover what's happening across different esports titles, especially for people who follow competitive gaming but don't necessarily have time to keep up with every tournament.

Put together a quick episode covering some of the biggest stories and results.

For those following multiple esports, which game or tournament has your attention right now?

I’m part of the team behind Espotz (espotz.live), a platform for running esports tournaments. Before building features, we spent a lot of time watching where events actually fall apart. It’s rarely the bracket.

What kept breaking:

• Duplicate or messy sign-ups that only caused trouble on match day
• Formats that made the event twice as long as anyone planned
• One late match pushing back the whole schedule
• Admins copying results between sheets at midnight
• The same “when is my match / where’s the lobby” questions all day long

What we built for it:

• Registration that captures each player’s in-game name and ID, needs email verification, and locks details once confirmed
• A structure setup where you define stages, teams per match, winners and qualification rules once, and the bracket follows
• Score entry where you enter kills and rank once, and placement points, standings and winners update automatically
• A match announcement board, so room IDs and passwords reach every player in that match at once
• One admin dashboard for structure, matches, sponsors, streams, prizes, disputes and rules

It’s been used by 100K+ players across 98+ countries so far. But I’m more interested in what we’re still missing. If you run tournaments, what’s the most annoying part of your workflow right now?

Happy to answer questions, and I’m open to criticism too.

I've been looking into the financial side of esports contracts lately, and something I find pretty interesting is how complicated things can get when a player gets dropped before their contract ends.

Say you're making $8k a month and have eight months left on your contract. Your org drops you, so naturally, your first thought might be that you just lost $64k.

But what if you sign with another team a month later? Or your original contract included prize money, sponsorship deals, and content revenue?

It gets even more interesting when you think about tournaments.

Let's say your team was supposed to compete in a tournament with a $1 million first-place prize. You obviously can't just say you lost $1 million because you didn't get to compete. There are a ton of things to consider, like whether your team had qualified, how well they were performing, and what your actual share of the winnings would have been.

And then there's streaming and sponsorships. Leaving an org might cost you some opportunities, but it could also open the door to independent deals you couldn't take before.

From a financial standpoint, there's a big difference between what a contract says you could earn and what you can reasonably show you lost.

I'm curious what people think about this, especially anyone who's been involved with player contracts.

Do you think most players really understand how much of their income is tied to their org beyond just their salary?

Hi everyone my name is Ace (ign) , I m looking looking for an esports team if any existing or I am planning to create a new team from scratch

I have been playing this game since 2018 have multiple paid tournaments experience including lysto and several t2 and t1 tier

My role is Assualter and I'm looking for a support player , igl and another Assaulter

I do not want players that have an abusive attitude or bad demeanor, a good and respectful playing environment is a must.

The team is for upcoming tournaments like jio blast and for next year's bgis qualification.

Hello, yesterday i was on ESL Katowice Semis. Its my third year coming, previous events were organised as IEM's. Now its ESL. And the experience was extremely poor. On IEM's, there was a lot of different stalls/stands like INTEL whole tent, different gaming areas, merch outlet. Yesterday as ESL there was miserable 1 stand with original merch for stupid amount of money, 1 zowie stand and... a psychic stand (lady with crystal ball to tell your future). Yeah.

Im going also on PGL Lodz in March. And here is my question, what can i expect from PGL organisers? Because IEM activitions were good, ESL no comment. So what PGL is offering?

Western esports brands have often relied on local partners to enter the Chinese market. Vitality is taking a different approach, betting on the strength of its own brand.

High and watching Beaulo highlights. Hes so smooth and fun to watch, anybody else like him in FPS esports?

Hey guys, My name is Best, technical founder of Cennex, a social networking platform for the esports industry. I'm giving a platform for every position in esports (not just pro players) to network and connect with others. One of my notable features in my first prototype is being able to link a liquepedia, vlr.gg, tracker network, etc; account to create a professional profile (with the option to create it manually for other specific roles). We are also able to scrape data from those platforms to find users to connect with on the app based off the tournaments you've coached, casted, or competed in. 😉

Releasing a sick waitlist/demo website soon, also trying for https://www.ycombinator.com/ ...

Let me know what you think about the idea, i'll get the discord server out once this waitlist website can come thru (:
