CYNOPSISeSPORTS & GAMING
09.29.16
Good morning. It’s Thursday, September 29, 2016, and this is your weekly wrap-up eSports & Gaming brief.
Any remaining mental lines dividing sports and eSports continued to fade in the US this past week with the trifecta of news that included: the 76ers nabbing controlling stakes in Team Dignitas and Team Apex; Team Liquid selling controlling interest to an ownership group led Peter Guber and Ted Leonsis (along the likes of Magic Johnson); and the news that Grizzlies co-owner/vice chairman Stephen Kaplan is increasing his stake in The Immortals and joining the team’s board. These high-profile moves raise the stakes as eSports mines the resources and experience from within the traditional sports industry that includes key executive roles over the past couple of weeks at MLG and WESA for executives from FOX Sports and HBO Sports respectively.
The 76ers became the first North American sports team to acquire an eSports franchise with the pickup of Team Dignitas and Team Apex, which will now combine to play under the Team Dignitas banner. The Sixers will manage the day-to-day operations of the eSports squad, sharing best practices in sponsorship, sales, branding, digital marketing, merchandising, publicity and more; as well as devote resources to player recruitment, development and wellness.
"For us it was very much an opportunity to help turn Team Dignitas into the marquee eSports brand. We had to ask ourselves if we wanted to invest in eSports. The answer is yes, the numbers in eSports are incredible and it represents everything that our owners are all about, which is innovation in sports entertainment," Akshay Khanna, Vice President of Strategy at the Philadelphia 76ers, told Cynopsis. He noted that synergies between the two organizations would open new doors for the eSports franchise. "In many ways, it is a completely different industry than traditional sports, but on other ways the skills and assets and resources required are not that different than what we can bring. We have a lot of resources that we can help with whether it is licensing or sponsorship sales or ticket sales or maybe an opportunity to shape future revenue streams that maybe don’t exist yet in the eSports space."
Meanwhile, Steve Arhancet and Victor Goossens will continue in their respective roles as Co-CEOs of Team Liquid. Guber and Leonsis will serve as Co-Executive Chairmen of their new eSports ownership group aXiomatic.
"I think [the interest from sports entities] gives eSports more of a mainstream legitimacy," Leonsis told ESPN. "There are talented people in this industry, and we will learn from them, and they will learn from us. We understand how to negotiate a CBA and naming rights, and how to sell media content to major networks. So we all add value, but so many people in this industry built this from scratch without us."
Indeed, other teams welcomed the backing of the organizations. Jace Hall, CEO of Echo Fox, owned by NBA athlete Rick Fox, noted that "We continue to see increasing professional interest and involvement taking place in this ever expanding eSports opportunity and we are excited and supportive of the Philadelphia 76ers recent decision to engage," he said. "As the number of experienced management organizations involved with eSports grow, the overall opportunity potential can be better realized. While Echo Fox is uniquely positioned to navigate and grow in this environment, it is also focused on encouraging and supporting others in the wider community where it can for the collective benefit of all."
COMPETITION & TOURNAMENTS
The Collegiate StarLeague inked an exclusive deal with Riot Games for the 2017 uLoL Campus Series, with the agreement seeing CSL working as the engine running the tournaments, managing logistics like registration, scheduling, qualification, production and broadcasting the upcoming season. In addition, CSL will beef up broadcasting to a minimum of six matches per week with additional content that includes in-depth game previews and analysis, player interviews and more throughout the season. The league will be formatted to include a round-robin group stage with qualifiers moving onto the play-off bracket and then to the live Campus Series finals. Teams will be divided into four divisions — north, south, east and west — and include club or varsity teams. Schools are permitted one team to participate in the Campus Series.
CS:GO staple Mohan "launders" Govindasamy announced today that he is founding his own eSports franchise, which will be known as BOXR. ESPN reports that the commentator/content creator signed Super Smash Bros. Melee player Julian "Zhu" Zhu as the team’s first player and that he will compete at the upcoming Big House 6 under the BOXR banner.
ELeague announced plans for a CS: GO major that will be held from Jan. 22-29 at Fox Theater in Atlanta The Grand Final will be carried live on TBS with a simulcast on Twitch with the ELeague Major serving as the tenth Major Championship in the history of CS:GO and one of only a few majors held each year. "When we launched ELEAGUE, we set out to deliver a best-in-class experience for esports teams, players and fans and we’re grateful to the entire community for their ongoing support and engagement with our content," said Lenny Daniels, President of Turner Sports. "Less than one year since ELEAGUE’s debut, we’re thrilled to host the next CS:GO Major Championship and we will utilize all of our collective resources to help further elevate this prestigious event."
Riot Games laid out is vision for the future of eSports, following recent criticisms, with a strategy targeting revenue sharing, league partnerships, prize pools and sponsorships. The League of Legends publisher released a statement addressing the changes, noting "As we move into 2017 and beyond, we’re continuing to take steps towards a future where top LoL players have very well paid, long careers doing what they love – and where LoL eSports team organizations are thriving businesses led by empowered owners who share responsibility and accountability for the long term prosperity of the sport." The initiatives kick in at the World Championships, where Riot says 25% of Championship skins and Wards will be added to the total prize pool while another 25% will be put into the Mid-Season Invitational prize pool. Riot also announced that each of the 13 regional leagues will be guaranteed a lump sum to counter gaps in team revenue.
Blizzard announced that it will be shaking up Heroes of the Storm eSports in 2017, tipping that it will shift to a uniform online league format in North America, Europe, China, and Korea with players on the top eight teams in each region contracted and "guaranteed both compensation and regular competition." In addition, as part of the new Heroes Global Championship program, the company will also offer more international events matching rival teams from different regions against one another as well as a promotion and relegation system that allows amateur teams competing in the Blizzard-sponsored Open Division to "know exactly what’s required to make it into the HGC league."
MARKETING & PROMOTION
ESL hits Brooklyn with the announcement that it would be partnering with the Cybersmile Foundation as part of a wider incentive designed to address toxicity within the gaming and tech industries. ESL’s support will widen the reach of Cybersmile resources for those who are affected by online abuse and promote positive gaming campaigns and experiences. Cybersmile will also increase its presence at ESL events around the world.
Speaking of ESL, the company nabbed a big new sponsor with Fuse making a major play into eSports. The two organizations inked a deal to make Fuse the exclusive music sponsor for ESL One New York 2016 from Oct. 1-2 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn with duo Krewella on deck to close out the event with a performance. The agreement marks the network’s entrance into eSports and the network will subsequently offer coverage of the tournament across all platforms including Fuse, Fuse.tv, the Fuse TV app and @Fuse on all social channels. Fuse will also produce and premiere an eSports themed special from the event. "This partnership is an incredible opportunity for Fuse to enter the eSports arena and connect with players and fans, and to bring our audience a glimpse into a sport that is growing exponentially in popularity," said Fuse Media President & CEO Michael Schwimmer. "Gaming culture resonates deeply with our core multicultural, millennial audience, and ESL One New York 2016 is the perfect entry point for us as we enter this space."
Bud Light is activating at TwitchCon, announcing that its eSports initiative the Bud Light All-Stars will be joined by the likes of Shaquille O’Neal, Snoop Dogg, Adrianne Curry, Greg Jennings, and Ron Funches at this year’s event for the first-ever Bud Light All-Stars Bash on Saturday.

PLATFORMS
SiriusXM is adding to its eSports lineup, announcing the launch of Machinima’s Inside eSports Radio, hosted by Alex "Axeltoss" Rodriguez and Joshua "Piscator" Lee, yesterday with eps running weekdays from 6-7p on SiriusXM Bleacher Report Radio (channel 83). The show will look to offer listeners "the latest news, highlights, and analysis from the biggest tournaments, with an in-depth focus on first person shooter, multi-player online battle arena (MOBAs), real time strategy, and fighting games."

POWER PLAYERS: GameCo’s Blaine Graboyes
What’s the relationship between gamers and (casino) gaming? According to GameCo CEO Blaine Graboyes, it isn’t ideal. That’s why his company is launching the world’s first skill-based video game gambling machines into the marketplace with the first machines hitting the in Atlantic City inside Caesars, Harrah’s Resort and Bally’s Wild Wild West. The shooter game, titled "Danger Arena," pays out according to the player’s skill level. It is a first-person action video game in which player skill determines the payout. Each VGM features a single-player game, generally 60-90 seconds to play, and is adapted from top console, PC and mobile developers. The company also announced a new round of financing this week, totaling $8.25 million with the latest round led by Javelin Venture Partners. Cynopsis eSports spoke with Graboyes about the importance of adding this type of experience to the casino floor for gamers.
On the company’s growth: The thing I’m most proud of at GameCo is that it was only a year ago when we did our first fundraising, so in only a year we’ve now done two rounds going from concept and prototype to final machines on the floor in Atlantic City. I think that’s probably unprecedented in the casino industry. It’s been very challenging but we’ve put together an amazing team.
On opening with a shooter: We’ve prototyped a ton of games, racing, shooter, fighting, casual games, etc. But when you talk to people about video games, the first thing they say is Call of Duty. So that was one reason we did it. Another is that it clearly differentiated us from anyone else in the industry, clearly showing that we are going for a new market of gamers and aren’t cannibalizing from anyone in the slot market. But over time, we would expect to release other types of games, action/adventure, racing, sports, etc.
On gamers: The average gamer is 35 years old, over-indexes in household income and education, and is really looking for a place that makes them feel like a VIP. I think it is fair to say that no industry is more successful at that VIP, sexy, cool experience than casinos. So ultimately, our vision is to create a space or experience that gamers want to come and feel like a VIP. I like to say that the first gamer that win’s bottle service from the casino will be our greatest ambassador ever.
