It's human nature to make everything we do competitive. I've played football, ran track at times, competed in hacking competitions at Def Con, and even participated in various gaming competitions like Halo tournaments. I always get annihilated by kids who had voices that were cracking, but I played! Humans have been competing in sports for thousands of years. The Lascaux in France shows people sprinting over 15,000 years ago. The Egyptians were bowling in the 5,000s BCE. The Sumerians were wrestling 5,000 years ago. Mesopotamian art shows boxing in the second or third millennium BCE. The Olmecs in Mesoamerican societies were playing games with balls around the same time. Egyptian monuments show a number of individual sports being practiced in Egypt as far back as 2,000 BCE. The Greeks evolved the games first with the Minoans and Mycenaeans between 1,500 BCE and 1,000BCE and then they first recorded their Olympic games in 776 BCE, although historians seem to agree the games were practiced at least 500 years before that evolving potentially from funeral games. Sports competitions began as ways to showcase an individuals physical prowess. Weight lifting, discus, whether individual or team sports, sports rely on physical strength, coordination, repetitive action, or some other feat that allows one person or team to stand out. Organized team sports first appeared in ancient times. The Olmecs in Mesoamerica but Hurling supposedly evolved past 1000 BCE, although written records of that only begin around the 16th century and it could be that was borrowed through the Greek game harpaston when the Romans evolved it into the game harpastum and it spread with Roman conquests. But the exact rules and timelines of all of these are lost to written history. Instead, written records back up that western civilization team sports began with polo appearing about 2,500 years ago in Persia. The Chinese gave us a form of kickball they called cuju, around 200 BCE. Football, or soccer for the American listeners, started in 9th century England but evolved into the game we think of today in the 1850s, then a couple of decades later to American football. Meanwhile, cricket came around in the 16th century and then hockey and baseball came along in the mid 1800s with basketball arriving in the 1890s. That's also around the same time the modern darts game was born, although that started in the Middle Ages when troops threw arrows or crossbow bolts at wine barrels turned on their sides or sections of tree trunks. Many of these sports are big business today, netting multi-billion dollar contracts for media rights to show and stream games, naming rights to stadiums for hundreds of millions, and players signing contracts for hundreds of millions across all major sports. There's been a sharp increase in sports contracts since the roaring 1920s, rising steadily until the television started to show up in homes around the world until ESPN solidified a new status in our lives when it was created in 1979. Then came the Internet and the money got crazy town. All that money leads the occasional entrepreneurial minded sports enthusiast to try something new. We got the World Wrestling Body in the 1950s, which evolved out of Jim McMahon's father's boxing promotions put him working with Toots Mondt on what they called Western Style Wrestling. Beating people up has been around since the dawn of life but became an official sport when UFC 1 was launched in 1993. We got the XFL in 1999. So it's no surprise that we would take a sport that requires hand-eye coordination and turn that into a team endeavor. That's been around for a long time, but we call it Esports today. Video Game Competitions Competing in video games is as almost as old as, well, video games. Spacewar! was written in 1962 and students from MIT competed with one another for dominance of deep space, dogfighting little ships, which we call sprites today, into oblivion. The game spread to campuses and companies as the PDP minicomputers spread. Countless hours spent playing and by 1972, there were enough players that they held the first Esports competition, appropriately called the Intergalactic Spacewar! Olympics. Of course, Steward Brand would report on that for Rolling Stone, having helped Mouse inventor Doug Englebart with the “Mother of All Demos” just four years before. Pinball had been around since the 1930s, or 1940s with flippers. They could be found around the world by the 1970s and 1972 was also the first year there was a Pinball World Champion. So game leagues were nothing new. But Brand and others, like Atari founder Nolan Bushnell knew that video games were about to get huge. Tennis was invented in the 1870s in England and went back to 11th century France. Tennis on a screen would make loads of sense as well when Tennis For Two debuted in 1958. So when Pong came along in 1972, the world (and the ability to mass produce technology) was ready for the first video game hit. So when people flowed into bars first in the San Francisco Bay Area, then around the country to play Pong, it's no surprise that people would eventually compete in the game. From competing in billiards to a big game console just made sense. Now it was a quarter a game instead of just a dart board hanging in the corner. And so when Pong went to home consoles of course people competed there as well. Then came Space Invaders in 1978. By 1980 we got the first statewide Space Invaders competition, and 10,000 players showed up. The next year there was a Donkey Kong tournament and Billy Mitchell set the record for the game at 874,300 that stood for 18 years. We got the US National Video Game Team in 1983 and competitions for arcade games sprung up around the world. A syndicated television show called Starcade even ran to show competitions, which now we might call streaming. And Tron came in 1982. Then came the video game crash of 1983. But games never left us. The next generation of consoles and arcade games gave us competitions and tournaments for Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat then first-person game like Goldeneye and other first-person shooters later in the decade, paving the way for games like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. Then in 1998 a legendary StarCraft 2 tournament was held and 50 million people around the world tuned in on the Internet. That's a lot of eyeballs. Team options were also on the rise. Netter had been written to play over the Internet by 16 players at once. Within a few years, massive multiplayers could have hundreds of players duking it out in larger battle scenes. Some were recorded and posted to web pages. There was appetite for tracking scores for games and competing and even watching games, which we've all done over the shoulders of friends since the arcades and consoles of old. Esports and Twitch As the 2000s came, Esports grew in popularity. Esports is short for the term electronic sports, and refers to competitive video gaming, which includes tournaments and leagues. Let's set aside the earlier gaming tournaments and think of those as classic video games. Let's reserve the term Esports for events held after 2001. That's because the World Cyber Games was founded in 2000 and initially held in 2001, in Seoul, Korea (although there was a smaller competition in 2000). The haul was $300,000 and events continue on through the current day, having been held in San Francisco, Italy, Singapore, and China. Hundreds of people play today. That started a movement. Major League Gaming (MLG) came along in 2002 and is now regarded as one of the most significant Esports hosts in the world. The Electronic Sports World Cup came in 2003 were the first tournaments, which were followed by the introduction of ESL Intel Extreme Master in 2007 and many others. The USA Network broadcast their first Halo 2 tournament in 2006. We've gone from 10 major tournaments held in 2000 to an incalculable number today. That means more teams. Most Esports companies are founded by former competitors, like Cloud9, 100 Thieves, and FaZeClan. Team SoloMid is the most valuable Esports organization. Launched by League of Legends star Dan Dinh and his brother in 2009, and is now worth over $400 million and has fielded teams like ZeRo for Super Smash Brothers, Excelerate Gaming for Rainbow Six Seige, Team Dignitas for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and even chess grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura. The analog counterpart would be sports franchises. Most of those were started by athletic clubs or people from the business community. Gaming has much lower startup costs and thus far has been more democratic in the ability to start a team with higher valuations. Teams play in competitions held by leagues, of which There seems to be new ones all the time. The NBA 2K League and the Overwatch League are two new leagues that have had early success. One reason for teams and leagues like this is naming and advertising rights. Another is events like The International 2021, with a purse of over $40M. The inaugural League of Legends World Championship took place in 2011. In 2013 another tournament was held in the Staples Center in Los Angeles (close to their US offices). Tickets for the event sold out within minutes. The purse for that was originally $100,000 and has since risen to over $7M. But others are even larger. Arena of Valor tournament Honor of Kings World Champion Cup is $7.7M and Fortnite World Cup Finals has gone as high as $15M. One reason for the leagues and teams is that companies that make games want to promote their games. The video game business is almost an 86 billion dollar industry. Another is that people started watching other people play on YouTube. But then YouTube wasn't really purpose-built for gaming. Streamers made due using cameras to stream images of themselves in a picture-in-picture frame but that still wasn't optimal. Esports had been broadcast (the original form of streaming) before but streaming wasn't all that commercially successful until the birth of Twitch in 2011. YouTube had come along in 2005 and Justin Kan and Emmett Shear created Justin.tv in 2007 as a place for people to broadcast video, or stream, online. They started with just one channel: Justin's life. Like 24 by 7 life. They did Y Combinator and managed to land an $8M seed round. Justin had a camera mounted to his hat, and left that outside the bathroom since it wasn't that kind of site. They made a video chat system and not only was he streaming, but he was interacting with people on the other side of the stream. It was like the Truman Show, but for reals. A few more people joined up, but then came other sites to provide this live streaming option. They added forums, headlines, comments, likes, featured categories of channels, and other features but just weren't hitting it. One aspect was doing really well: gaming. They moved that to a new site in 2011 and called that Twitch. This platform allowed players to stream themselves and their games. And they could interact with their viewers, which gave the entire experience a new interactive paradigm. And it grew fast with the whole thing being rebranded as Twitch in 2014. Amazon bought Twitch in 2014 for $1B. They made $2.3 Billion in 2020 with an average of nearly 3 million concurrent viewers watching nearly 19 billion hours of content provided monthly by nearly 9 million streamers. Other services like Youtube Gaming have come and gone but Twitch remains the main way people watch others game. ESPN and others still have channels for Esports, but Twitch is purpose-built for gaming. And watching others play games is no different than Greeks showing up for the Olympics or watching someone play pool or watching Liverpool play Man City. In fact, the money they make is catching up. Platforms like Twitch allow professional gamers and those who announce the games to to become their own unique class of celebrities. The highest paid players have made between three and six million dollars, with the top 10 living outside the US and making their hauls from Dota 2. Others have made over a million playing games like Counter-Strike, Fortnite, League of Legends, and Call of Duty. None are likely to hold a record for any of those games for 18 years. But they are likely to diversify their sources of income. Add a YouTube channel, Twitch stream, product placements, and appearances - and a gamer could be looking at doubling what they bring in from competitions. Esports has come far but has far further to go. The total Esports market was just shy of $1B in 2020 and expected tor each $2.5B in 2025 (which the pandemic may push even faster). Not quite the 100 million that watch the Super Bowl every year or the half billion that tune into the World Cup finals but growing at a faster rate than the Super Bowl, which has actually declined in the past few years. And the International Olympic Committee recognized the tremendous popularity of Esports throughout the world in 2017 and left open the prospect of Esports becoming an Olympic sport in the future (although with the number of vendors involved that's hard to imagine happening). Perhaps some day when archaeologists dig up what we've left behind, they'll find some Egyptian Obelisk or gravestone with a controller and a high score. Although they'll probably just scoff at the high score, since they already annihilated that when they first got their neural implants and have since moved on to far better games! Twitch is young in the context of the decades of history in computing. However, the impact has been fast and along with Esports shows us a windows into how computing has reshaped entire ways we week not only entertainment, but also how we make a living. In fact, the US Government recognized League of Legends as a sport as early as 2013, allowing people to get Visas to come into the US and play. And where there's money to be made, there's betting and abuse. 2010 saw SaviOr and some of the best Starcraft players to ever play embroiled in a match-fixing scandal. That almost destroyed the Esports gaming industry. And yet as with the Video Game Crash of 1983, the industry has always bounced back, at magnitudes larger than before.

Joining us on the How Did You podcast today is Mark Bryceland of Toronto Ultra, a former professional Call of Duty player into Head Coach, as well as the decisions he had to make to turn the team into what it is today, whilst divulging his thoughts on Swanny and others.

I had the opportunity to give a Keynote Talk at the Cal State University Alliance. The Keynote focuses on the Future of Content Creation, The Future of Esports, How to Get a Job in the Esports Industry, How to Get a Job in the Gaming Industry, and How to Become a Content Creator. Many of these jobs will likely be in tertiary and adjacent industries as marketers, chefs, video editors, and other secondary support roles. I also give advice on How to Get a Job in the eSports Industry as a College Graduate, How to Become a Content Creator as a College Graduate and How to Grow a Twitch Stream or How To Grow a Youtube Channel. Cal State was kind enough to give me 30 minutes to help their students learn How to Get a Job in Esports, and How to Grow an Audience as a content creator. I was able to share my experiences as the former CEO of CLG, Counter Logic Gaming, and when I ran the League of Legends team, Team Dignitas. If you're interested in learning How To Grow a Twitch Stream, How To Grow a YouTube Channel, or Get a Job in the Esports Industry, you've come to the right Keynote.

Denne podcast er sponsoreret af eOddset 1tap Update er tilbage med en optakt til Copenhagen Games, der finder sted denne weekend. Ugens panel består som altid af Toke Gripping og John Graversen, der i denne uge suppleres af Casper 'ruggah' Due, der indtil for nyligt var træner for North og tidligere Team Dignitas. Han er blandt andet med, fordi han reagerede på diskussionen i sidste uge, hvor endnu en French Shuffle blev vendt, efter at shox ikke lykkedes med at samle nok opbakning hos G2, hvorfor han nu er fortid der og står for at samle sit eget hold sammen med Ex6TenZ og SmithZz. ruggah uddyber sine betragtninger om de franske spillere, og så bliver der også tid til en snak om, hvilke kvaliteter vi bør kigge efter, når vi bedømmer en IGL - for der er mere nuanceret end som så, og det er ikke nødvendigvis rimeligt at sammenligne dem 1:1 på deres KDR eller andre "kolde" stats. Og så bliver der ellers snakket Copenhagen Games, hvor der bliver meget at holde øje med, for turneringens struktur giver i dén grad upset-potentiale, og det bliver spændende at se, om de inviterede hold North, Heroic, QBF og Kinguin kan stå distancen over for de hold, der kommer fra kvalifikationen - lyt med og hør hvem panelet særligt vil holde øje med. Vært og teknik: Sture Sandø

Would you trust the process behind 'Trust the Process'? If you worked with Philadelphia 76ers CEO Scott O'Neil and his indefatigable CMO Katie O'Reilly you would. (Arguably, you'd have no choice.) O'Neil is one of the most forward-thinking senior leaders in sport, and he’s renowned for the inspiring working cultures he builds around him - a working culture at the 76ers that has resulted in the franchise consistently topping various NBA commercial tables even with a historically bad team on the court. As CEO of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE), he leads the 76ers organisation in the NBA, as its Prudential Center arena, the New Jersey Devils NHL team, the new Sixers Innovation Lab, and esports outfit Team Dignitas. On the conversational agenda: - Onboarding and the the working culture at HBSE and the 76ers; - The importance of language in the business of sport, 'Trust the Process', and what it means to be 'palms up'; - The nuts and bolts of an NBA international trip, and what the 76ers did with the 200 people they brought from Philadelphia to London last week; - Building an international content plan around a cosmopolitan team that is finally coming good; - Forging the next generation of sporting leaders; - NBA China trivia; - The Sixers Innovation Lab - what exactly is it?

On the pod, I have a slight emergency podcast as so much happened today I had to re-do my Sunday pod! I talk about Steel to Team Liquid, Stanislaw's future, a rant about Optic fans, Team Dignitas's options for CS:GO teams after their break-up, and a wrap-up of the last week in ESL.

Chegou o 39º Central eSports com Felipe Felix e Daniela Rigon trazendo as últimas notícias e os mais recentes resultados do competitivo mundial do esporte eletrônico! O programa começa com o Giro de Notícias focado em League of Legends. Primeiro, fazemos um resumo das acusações de aliciamento em relação ao Flamengo. Uma apuração da nossa redação descobriu que uma denúncia foi aberta contra o Rubro-Negro por tentativa de aliciamento de jogadores do CBLoL para seu time do Circuito Desafiante. Em seguida, indo para os Estados Unidos, comentamos o novo sistema de franquia da liga norte-americana da Riot Games, que aparentemente já teve escolhido seus 10 times participantes. A polêmica fica por conta de algumas equipes que tiveram suas inscrições recusadas, como a Immortals e a Team Dignitas. Voltando para o Brasil, ao que tudo indica o Flamengo não será o único clube de futebol investindo no League of Legends em 2018. Um vídeo publicado pela Red Canids indica uma possível parceria com o Corinthians, com novidades a serem reveladas em 5 de novembro, dia de jogo entre o Timão e o Palmeiras. No Momento Clutch, a bomba da semana foi a rápida e inesperada saída de João "felps"" Vasconcellos da SK Gaming. O jogador será substituído por Ricardo "boltz" Prass em alguns campeonatos, como o Epicenter que está rolando esta semana, mas a SK terá que jogar com felps ou um substituto em torneios que boltz não poderá participar, como o Eleague Major. Ainda em Counter-Strike, a Tempo Storm não teve uma boa campanha na DreamHack Denver e acabou eliminada logo cedo na competição. A grande vencedora do torneio foi a Cloud9. Finalizando com o Foca o Nexus, fazemos aquele resumão esperto das quartas de final do Mundial e voltamos ao CBLoL para contar as últimas novidades da dança das cadeiras.

On the eighth episode of the Rough Drafts 2017 Summer NA LCS Team-by-Team preview, Chase "RedShirtKing" Wassenar and Walter "Ceades" Fedczuk examine whether fans should trust the Dignitas process.

It’s Day 2 of the North American NALCS Team-by-Team preview. After nearly two years of jokes about mediocre Korean imports Walter “Ceades” Fedczuk and Chase “RedShirtKing” Wassenar are stunned as former Legacy organization Team Dignitas, Apex Gaming, and NBA basement dwellers, the Philadelphia 76ers, team up to pull of the “dunk” of the NA offseason. The guys praise the team’s acquisitions while wondering if the players they kept can keep up. Enjoyed the episode?

On Day Five of the Rough Drafts Podcast's 2016 NA LCS Team-by-Team Preview, Chase "RedShirtKing" Wassenar and Walter "Ceades" Fedczuk turn their eyes to one of the potentially underrated powers, Team Dignitas. After a quick recap of their roster changes this offseason, the two argue over Kirei's ceiling as a top tier ganking jungler, whether KiWiKiD deserves more recognition than he currently gets as a playmaker for the team, and which player they'll have to turn to when they're behind and need a big play. After a quick conspiracy theory surrounding the departure of their former coach, the two make their predictions for this Team Dignitas roster in the 2016 Spring Split.
