Stop letting down your heroes korea...

Why is it that i can watch proleague which was awesome except brood war graphics now gives me siezures, and see huge numbers of fans and the go to gom studio and see 3 people plus some players and...
religion in esports
Its not often that someone of the y-generation would attempt to bring up a discussion about religion in an ultra modern world. But i am going to attempt to do so.
Of late i have been learning alot about islam. I was born as a christian but am not very religious. My belief is to just try to be a good person and not hurt or negatively effect other people. But i also believe knowkedge is power so i...
Why Koreans should stop joining foreign teams.
Today I heard a rumour from some birdies that 5 Korean players are looking for Foreign teams. Top level ones.. In the pursuit of a SALARY…
Firstly these players are not making much income from results… They are good, but no results…
And yet they are expecting thousands of dollars per month and unlimited travel around the world, even without a track record that justifies...
How to make an e-Sports quilt?
Everyone in the world these days is greedy. Including myself.
I am never satisfied with one job, or one project that is making money I always want more. Its human instinct, at least of this generation.
You are probably wondering now where I am going with the title. If you have ever seen the lesbionic movie “How to make an American quilt” you would realise that good quality...
Potential signs of a failing e-Sports organisation
Hello Ladies and Gents,
On the back of MLG’s successful season, I would like to point out what warning signs to look for, for an e-sports organisation to be considered as failing.
I won’t go into huge details, and you can bite my face off if you like. Its not a very pretty face anyway.
Ok, so what do we look for when a business is starting to fail? Economists and traders have...
Whilst we think about a 50k cheque. Perhaps think...
So, as I have tweeted I just got back from Myanmar (Burma) and have had a relatively enlightening experience.
Before I get into that, I just want to say how proud I am of both Leenock, OZ and the entire team right now. People need to realise that the results of players is not just the effort of 1 person. Its the entire team that makes it happen. So even though Leenock won MLG providence, the...
Identifying business models in e-Sports
Hello Ladies and Gents,
A day or two ago one of my twitter followers suggested I explain how to make money from e-Sports. I stated that if I did that I would piss alot of people off.. Which is true, so I am going to instead identify business models in e-Sports. Most of my experience comes from starcraft 2, so if you play another game and its completely wrong, please join a pub dota game and bad...
Something a little unusual
Dear valued fans/haters/viewers/etc
Although, I have always been a generally happy person, today was a first.
I woke up in the morning at about 8 am, and I was happy.
Having gotten a solid 9 hours sleep for the first time in about 6 years, I woke up, went to my PC and opened my e-mail.
Inside it was the logo for a new company of mine, which will be sponsoring FXOpen e-Sports as well.
I...

Return on Investment for Koreans in Foreign events
Time to get some more flak for being honest in business and upsetting community members I think.
Recently, I have been looking at the value of having Koreans play in local events and the effects on sponsors and the return on investment if a non local wins the event.
Some assumptions on my analysis have come as the following:
it IS NOT beneficial for a Korean player or even a european player, to...
The promised land
Hi Ladies and Gents,
Its a beautiful day here in Malaysia, and I have a smile on my face. Not because things have gone right. But because things have gone wrong.
I love IPL… I love every behind IPL, from top to bottom, and I think they are doing an amazing job. But I knew that an American organisation would end up screwing up when they ventured towards South East Asia.
No one in the...
