Topic: Online Video game tournament awarding bitcoin: proposal (Read 200 times)

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in collaborating on a national/international level tournament which awards players in bitcoin.

The format would be a massive bracket ending with a very serious final broadcast on twitch.

prizes could start small and raise as we go OR just have a massive prize waiting for people to compete for.

Suggested games:
league of legents,
Starcraft 2
Counterstrike

there are many others but these I believe are the top 3.

The purpose of this tournament just like bitcoin is to give everyone a shot at something bigger. No matter where you are in the world, you have a serious chance at winning this bitcoin prize. I understand specific logistics like server location etc. but that is a bridge to cross later.

My experience:
I am certified in basic Japanese, know some German and Spanish and have in fact shout casted and hosted tournaments for the purpose of making people aware of the gaming circuit in japan. i built the website and for better or worse translated it all.

I know what i'm doing and players earned cash prizes from me in the process usually in a prize pool consisting of a couple hundred dollars USD or 20,000JPY.

The business plan at a glance:
With twitch as out main media hub we can have 1-4 channels broadcasting a tournament every weekend up to the final. I suggest having it in the fall but any time is reasonable.

The bracket would be as large as possible and we would try to highlight any Cinderellas. Each bracket would comprise a season. This wouldn't be one weekend but many weekends leading up to the final bouts.

No more than 4 games would run at a single time.

Money would be made from streaming and simple merchandise sold on site with an emphasis on some of the bottom line feeding the over all prize pool as the season goes along.

Tournaments are online only until possible investment and profit is high enough to invite contestants with a stipend to a central location.

initial capital:
personal investments
crowd funding

With anyone who has the know how, will and drive we can make this happen.
