SearchThe Future of ESI
Posted by Lasse "Get.Enron" Engen 1 year ago
In order for ESI to continue, they need more dependable admins, support from the teams participating and sponsors.
Yenta, the head-administrator of Esports International has posted a thread in Teamliquid's forums concerning a Season 3 of the league. The future of Esports International is uncertain, and they need more motivated and realiable admins to continue. The participating teams must also give their support, with or without sponsors. Asking more than 30 companies for sponsorship, Yenta got response from only Razer and one unnamed site, and they both rejected the offer. In other words, ESI don't have any sponsors for the next season so far, and no sponsors means no prizes, other than pride, for the top teams.
“
Along with the bad, it is good to note that ESI has grown to be a pretty fun and well liked league. I think by turning to the community for help, by finding the right set of admins, and by dropping the ESPORTS mentality - ESI has the potential to continue for many seasons to come. ” - Yenta.He explains further that in order for the league to continue he needs people who are motivated and trustworthy, so he can work on the coding only, which is, according to himself, what he does best. So if anyone out there with some experience feels motivated to help out Yenta, ESI, and a great contribution to the Starcraft community, don't hesitate to raise your voice and contact the ESI administration.
If ESI continues, the qualified teams for the Premier Divison of ESI Season 3 are:

1.  Fnatic.MSI | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| i think price money isnt needed, hope ESI finds some new admins! |
| Can't help you but I can wish you all the best :) |
| im an idiot, GL with finding the right ppl |
| Are they germans or what? |
| #3 read the news. They need admins. And I think you're referring to ESL, not ESI. |
| i think he's saying that since he's an idiot he couldnt be an admin dont be so hard on urself delta! i think ur super duper genius! |
| I know that some of the teams will play this leagues even if there is no money, BW is one of them. And I hope more team will play as well. Come on people help out with ESI! |
| good to hear poGDI :) Hopefully the other teams will follow. Seems like ToT is up for it too. So far so good. |
| #6, well i know im smart since ive got 143 IQ ;p but in my original post i complained about ESL being casted in german and probable getting more attention if they changed to english but this was ESI -.- ESI ESl ESi ESL yeye =) |
| ESL has attention enough, many people who play leagues there pay for it and most of them are german - thats no wonder cauz: first it was DECL (deutsche clan liga = german clan league), then ähmmm something like ESL but with 4 letters, and now ESL maybe in some years they will cast in different languages, but currently they casting in the language of the country, from which most users pay for it --------------------------------------------------------- GOGO ESI!!!!!!! |
| i THINK they are north american. they were NASCL before ESI (North American SC League) but im not sure if that changed when they changed to ESI |
| yes ESI is from NASCL, ESL from DECL |
| good luck finding admins... maybe you would get more credits if the league not only qulifier was open for every team with more groups etc. |
| Maybe I can give $ 10 DLS for this |
| ESPORTS INTERNATIONAL, without the ESPORTS... |
| better late than never. thanks gg.net hopefully more people apply to help administrate. sponsors too.. -.-' |
| We'll play it, money or not. |
| I ve already explained to Yenta my vision about the future of Starcraft esports. Dreams of generous dotators are over. In my opinion there aren't others issues that pay to play with a similar method of poker. Something like 100€ by team to sign up will garantee a prize pool minimum of 1000€ for this event. Then you can purpose videocasts in differents languages for people in exchange of a little money. What about something like 10€ by season? |
| There is not many team that can pay 100€ for sure :/ |
| #19 But right now, how many people can you find who will fork over that money? Most teams know they can't win, so why would they pay to join the league? They need to keep it free if they want any team other than ESC, ToT, or Fnatic to join. |
| #19 And I explained to you that this is basically impossible. For one, Xeris tried to organize a league in this way and even the TOP teams laughed at the idea of having to pay-to-play. Its exactly this kind of money-mentality, thinking about the $$$ before thinking about the event, that ruins events. |
| one question, which clan wouldnt play the league wtihout price money? i think ESi about prestige not about getting rich |
| #20 You would be able to find it. Teams with enormous financial potential like mTw, SL, D4, EG, or RoX might participate. #21 There are always winners and loosers... #23 Imo that's the only point to keep eSports running. Ofc you can go on this league for free but what will be the difference with TL, ICCL or BWCL? This ESI will just become another league between a ton of similar events... imo there is no interest except to offer the possibility of playing vs ToT or Fnatic. |
| i believe there are not many teams willing to play Fnatic, because of their lag ... maybe on LAN it would be interesting, but if it's via internet, no fun with them. #24 -> 21 ofc there are always winners and lossers, but there is like max. 5 teams that can win the league, so why would the others pay their prizes? |
