eSport pro Silver & Bronze Service Announced

Posted by Ripper at 19:40 14/9/2002.

As promised, Paul from eSport pro has sent word of the clans who will benefit from the silver and bronze support packages. The silver package involves the following:
Silver support will be, but not be limited to:
  • The Silver client will receive sponsor support from the sponsors that eSport Pro gains its self and is able to pass on to a team that it chooses. We will also pitch a sponsor directly if the team gives us full details of the sponsor
  • The Silver clients will become eSport-approved teams.
  • eSport pro will manage each of the Silver clients PR (if required).
  • eSport pro will support the Silver clients with any agreement documents that the team needs to structure its self.
  • eSport pro will help and advise the Silver client in all commercial matters relating to company formation, accountancy and cash management.
  • eSport pro will provide legal advice where the matter concerned could be potentially damaging to the Silver client or any member of the Silver clients’ team.
  • eSport pro will provide the Silver client the opportunity of revenue share from the proven eSport pro affiliate marketing scheme, that will produce hard cash for the teams benefit.
The teams receiving the silver support are:
  • 6K
  • Team56/Digital Edge
  • Blindspot
  • Fight Club Clan
  • North East UK
  • SiN
  • Snipers Alley
  • SO19
  • Twisted Reality
  • North & South
  • SCEE
  • Kaizen
  • Uninspired
  • TEC
  • Trippy
  • artis-infinitum
Also, there's the bronze support, click here to see a full list of the clans involved. Don't forget the Gold & Platinum support either, click here for a reminder of what that involves.

aarghh there are only 5 or 6 clans in the uk worthy of any kind of coporate affiliation. i think this kinda makes a mockery of the esports-pro idea.

id like to see the "PR" involved when a bunch of teams fold due to all the members taking their GCSE's. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Hey I'm sorry if not everyone did not get what they expected, some got what they did not expect.....winning is good, but the outlook of the team and the attitude of the people in charge of that team wes very important to me.

I saw a comment about only 4 or 5 good teams in the UK, I dissagree. Maybe not well known teams, but that does not mean they are not good! No one is forced to ask for help or advice from us and no one will ever be forced to stay involved with us, if they have a better plan...they should do it.

As for the ones that have no faith and poke fun at what we are trying to do, lets see you get half the structure we have done, in place and off the ground within a week or so. That in its self is an acchievement.

There will be some errors in judgment we know, but we will grow and mature as we move on. There is NO blue print for what we are doing.

Anyways, I hope the teams that what they felt they deserved are happy and those that are not, please com talk to me.

Thanks. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I didn't expect so many people unhappy, this was not the plan. I would like to have all the teams in the UK with expences etc, but it's just not possible.

^x^ by the way are an all girls team and there position is not by way of their 1337 skilz, it is a statement to other girls teams that they should consider applying and not just thinking "well its a fella thing and we have no chance"! TEC are from the US......"Europe is not alone :)"

rofl soz but that comment did make my laugh a bit..he does kinda have a point...perhaps an age limit is the way to go?..perhaps not as i'm sure a lot of ppl will soon point out. But something to prevent such an event would be useful [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Girl gamers have been going for years, and so have girl clans. Just because they don't get s***loads of PR (generally due to not committing as much time to it and thus not being as skilled) doesn't mean they don't play it. Don't act like you're promoting girl gaming when that's clearly bulls***: 40% of all PC gamers are female.

But why put a clan that is, quite frankly, rubbish ahead of lots of experienced been-together-for-years clans? It makes no sense other than to say "WE REALLY LIKE GIRL GAMERS! THIS IS EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES! WE'RE NOT TAKING THEM ON BECAUSE THEY OFFERED TO SUCK MY c**k" or some such. It's like having a workforce of 500 white people with a token black man.

And I'm sorry if you don't see it like that but that's how you will/are being perceived. Instead of actually giving the better clans better sponsorship (and this is being written from a 3rd person perspective) you're giving the token clans better sponsorship, which is cheapening the whole deal. It's not a surprise some clans are aggrieved at their positioning, because evaluation seems to have fallen into petty squabbles/ill-adjudication.

I seriously hope you revise every single support decision - some of the brackets are downright bizarre. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

HI Nick

Your team is Disturbed I believe?

Disturbed were one I had picked for Silver, but just decided to wait and whatch how the team did over the comming month and I have also not really had the time for a chat with your team to get a view on the teams attitude, but it looks like you have beaten me to it. You have done your team proud by seeming to have no understanding about this sport and how it needs to be presented to move forward. You are entitled to your views, but you should have some faith in what we are trying to make happen and how we do it may seem strange, but we will make it happen.

Sorry you have fallen out with eSport pro. It makes me sad. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Of course I have no understanding - this is the second time I've wet myself this evening. What are you trying to say? You're going to monopolise the CS sponsorship market? Anyone who isn't with eSport Pro won't succeed?

The concept, as someone on irc said, is great, but was carried out with short-sightedness. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

"haha Nick^, if you're team had recieved gold support, you wouldn't be crying."

If we'd got Platinum I'd be p***ed off at ^x^ getting Gold. They've been picked for Gold purely because of their sex and not because of their skill, which is a cheapening of girl gaming as a whole. "You don't need to succeed properly, all you need is looks!"

If you want to accomplish an objective I'd suggest breaking down all boundaries of race/gender/disability/being ugly/whatever. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
