“e-Sport meets Sport” in Austria

held an “eSport meets Sports”-event at the health department of Austria.

On this information day we tried to get the players back to a better lifestyle and

tried to help the parents to pay attention with their children‟s gaming behavior.

Playing too much without taking care of your own health is a growing problem;

especially for young people. The goal of “E-Sport meets Sports” is to merge the

fun of online-gaming with the necessity of offline activities.

Therefore, we created a system, where online- and offline-activities come

together. We arranged a tournament, where people have to play Wii-Golf first

and on a real golf putting mat later. Players get points for every activity and are

able to win nice prizes. Next year the project “eSport meets Sport” will be pushed

to the next level. We will show best practice examples for sports like tennis,

swimming, boxing and even more.

On the second day of December the Austrian Esport

Association, together with the “Federal Office for the

Positive Assessment of Computer and Console Games”

Dutch e-sport development

by Jasper Schoo

On October 15 it finally happened. For us it was like a dream came true. The

first Dutch E-sport club became a fact in Enschede. This E-sport club is the first

of hopefully many more E-sport clubs through the entire Netherlands.

The opening was a huge success. Many visitors enjoyed the Xbox 360 kinect,

PS3 move, Nintendo Wii or 1 of the pc‟s with trackmania and FIFA. The club

was opened by Tencate sportboulvard manager Henny Roerink and E-sportclub

Enschede president Oscar Ruiterkamp.

The Logo of the E-sport club Enschede was also presented. The visitors had the

possibility to compete with Koen Weijland, wich is one of the Best Dutch FIFA

gamers. Further Ravi Bhikhie, gave a Dance dance revolution demonstration.

The club opening also attracted a lot of media attention. Two famous news

programs, Rtl nieuws & Het Jeugd journaal visited the opening to take some film

shots and interview the visitors and organisers of the E-sportclub.

At the same night the items were shown on national television. The items can be

watched by following these links;

The month of February went under the theme of Safer Internet. Bulgarian

Federation of Electronic Sports celebrated The International Day of Safer Internet

with multiple trainings among the smallest, campaigns and demonstrations with

educational character. On February 8th itself, BFES, together with Deputy

Minister of Transport and Communications Parvan Rusinov, Deputy Culture

Minister Todor Chobanov and Deputy Chairman of the State Agency for Child

Protection Kalin Kamenov as well as representatives of "Parents" Association

played a game with the fourth graders in different schools with the aim to explain

to the children the basic steps and rules that must comply with in the cyber space.

March was marked by qualifications for the coming national competition in the

next months. This was the period of the last live tests of the Beta version of the

ranking system that BFES is developing for automatic arrangement of

competitions, ranking and management of players.

In April, BFES took part in the National Sports Panorama, which was held

between 28 and 30 April. It took place in front of the National Palace of Culture

in Sofia, where more than 80 sports federations participated. The event brought

together representatives from across the country and enjoyed great public and

media attention. The presence of BFES was marked by demonstrations of PC and

console games in a network where everyone had the opportunity to stand face to

face with the opponent in a live online game or observe the demonstrations of the

best players in the most popular games in Bulgaria.

During May, June and July the Bulgarian Federation of Electronic Sports held a

number of competitions in the bigger cities across the country, which aimed to

the largest metropolitan park in the capital. The team of the Bulgarian Federation

of Electronic Sports presented a variety of computer games that are part of the

gaming disciplines. Furthermore BFES demonstrated its renowned web site and

new online-based system for competitions and qualifications in e-sport – “World

Cyber League”. The stand of the Federation awakened the interest at all guests

present, among whom there were many hard core gamers.

Minister of Education and Science, Sergey Ignatov, and MP Irena Sokolova

showed their optimism about e-sports and their development.

At the end of August began the organizational preparation for the IeSF World

Championship 2011.

The entire month of September passed in qualifications and training of our

gamers for the upcoming World Championships in Andong, South Korea. After

clarification of the winners, the Bulgarian Federation of Electronic Sports spent

special time and attention to the Bulgarian representatives, which aimed to

achieve good mental preparation of the players for the upcoming competition as

well as the desire to win.

The second half of November and the month of December mark the final steps

before the release of the online based system for competitions, ranking and

management of players – World Cyber League.

Rinie Ramli (President / Malaysia e-Sports Federation)

The year of 2011 has been another great year for Malaysia e-Sports Federation

as we were able to host our very own Malaysia e-Sports League last weekend(26-

27 November). It was the first of its kind and we receive tremendous support

from the gamers and all parties involve. Special thanks to AMD Malaysia and

Cyberview Sdn Bhd who has been supportive of our noble mission. We are

looking forward to host the next season in middle of 2012 as we are one step

closer to make e-Sports a reality in Malaysia.

I would like to show my greatest gratitude to IeSF committees & its members

for helping us and recognizing MeSF as one of its members. We are very

humbled by this opportunity and we look forward to work together in making e-

Sports a reality around the world. Thank you everyone and have a great happy

new year!

Colin Webster (President / Mind Sports South Africa)

The 2011 year was by no means an easy year, The world-wide economic

downturn seriously affected every country in the world and every sport known to

man. However, not all is 'doom and gloom'. The IeSF under the skilful

management still held true to its course and even when all around there was a

tightening of belts and a great deal of cutting back, the IeSF (under the astute

guidance of Won Oh, Noha Park, and Alex Lim) still managed to show solid

growth in terms of its membership and still held a first class world championship.

The growth of member nations is not just for the sake of growth. The new

members that were admitted into membership met the exacting standards as laid

down by the IeSF's own Statutes as well as those as required by SportAccord.

Thus not all applicants were successful in attaining membership on their first

attempt. Some applicants were indeed not admitted into membership, but such

applicants are encouraged to review the way they operate and reapply in future

years.

In order to have a proper functioning IeSF, all the members must also hold

themselves to the highest standards. However, anything of value does not come

cheaply or easily – and so it is with the IeSF membership. All applicants for

membership are expected to have their own nations recognition, and to also be a

properly constituted association. And this year, the following members were

accepted into membership; Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Greece, Namibia, Serbia, Sri

Lanka, Sweden, and United states. The IeSF as a whole heartily welcomes all the

new members and hopes that they will all benefit from their association with the

parent body.

Few could have imagined that the IeSF could have topped the championship at

Taebeck (2009), and then in 2010 the championship was held in Daegu in 2010.

Daegu was without doubt even better than the championship held in 2009, and all

the gamers and officials on their return home longed to return to the next

championship. Then there was the 2011 IeSF World Championship in Andong!

The 2011 Championship exceeded all expectations.

Few realise the work that goes into running a successful championship, from

finding sponsors, venue, accommodation, meals, happy helpers, etc., etc., there is

also a great deal of work to do in terms of the 'back-end'. For example, the

development of suitable the rules, training of officials, etc. In other words, the

ability to host a championship, does not start just a couple of months prior to the

event, but is instead a reflection of the parent body as a whole. The championship

is nothing more than the outward expression of the IeSF's vision, dedication,

good governance and proper administration.

Although there are still areas which can be improved upon, the commitment

from all the members and the Secretariat will undoubtedly lead to an even better

2012 championships.

Thus, looking back at 2011, the IeSF has been able to further cement its

foundations to create a fully accredited International eSports Federation that can

proudly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the other international sporting

federations. With such accreditation, the IeSF will lead eSports into the mainline

sporting area and into a brave new world!

Steven Leunens (Belgian Electronic Sports Federation)

2011 was a fantastic year for eSports and the IeSF World Championships were

the perfect apotheosis for this eventful year. Bringing together gamers from all

across the globe and letting them compete at the highest possible level in perfect

conditions is what eSports is all about and we have the IeSF to thank for that. I

for one am already looking forward to what 2012 has in store for us

Dario Salice (President / Swiss E-Sports Federation)

From the perspective of the Swiss E-Sports Federation (SESF) as well as the

eSports Community in Switzerland, 2011 has been kind of a restart. After a

couple of years, where activity in the community of electronic sports decreased,

this year first improvements have been visible.

The most visible improvement was the increase of players participating on

tournaments and interested in competitive gaming. Like in other European

countries, the release of Stacraft 2 had a positive impact on the community in

Switzerland. Aside from the known players which left Warcraft 3 behind and

found new motivation with the new Blizzard Title, a good amount of new players

coming into the eSports Community have been noticed. This “new blood” has a

very positive impact on the Swiss community and the way they behave and enjoy

eSports. Starcraft also brought one Swiss player on the international stage. The

very talented player biGs, with Korean roots, managed to get a contract with one

of the major organizations in Europe: Mousesports. Various successes in online

tournaments certainly made him the star of the Swiss eSports season 2011.

With the start of a new community site “thisisesport” a couple of eSport

enthusiasts launched a new site to write about eSports in Switzerland. Surfing on

the wave of Starcraft, they also managed to reach an audience beyond the RTS

Genre and combine a part of the local scene.

Following this “rebirth” of Swiss eSports journalism, motivated clans and players

to increase their activity thanks to the existing coverage of BYOC-Events and

Online-Tournaments.

2011 Retrospect (Cont.)

One of the most innovative events in Switzerland was the first Barcraft. A small

group of motivated people reached to the SESF to ask for support. Together with

the group called “Barcraft Switzerland” the SESF helped to put in place a

“Barcraft” covering the MLG Event in the US (Providence, Rhode Island). This

cooperation was successful and brought around 100 spectators to one of the most

traditional pubs in the old part of Zurich.

The SESF also made a couple of small and large steps to be more prepared for

the future. In 2011 the focus has been on the structure of the federation. In this

process various new people joined the federation to improve it‟s performance and

support the eSports community at its best.

Benyamin Küry took over the role of the “LAN Ambassador”. His mission will

be to support clubs, which organize BYOC-Events in areas like Promotion,

finding suitable dates and all other questions, which come up. Thanks to

Benyamin‟s help, conflicts of dates between LAN-events shouldn‟t happen

anymore.

The role of the second ambassador, the “Clan Ambassador” is taken by Lars

Vögtlin, which gained a lot of experience over the last couple of years with his

own Multigaming Clan. This experience now will be used to support existing or

new clans to improve their operation and structure.

One of the issues the Swiss eSports Federation faced, was the communication

towards the community. This gap will be filled with Marco Juen, which took over

the place of the “News Coordinator”. His job is to coordinate News with partner

organizations through available channels. This way the SESF will be able to

distribute relevant information trough different channels reaching a broader

audience with its activities.

Looking forward to 2012, I expect the re-organization to proceed and finish.

With that new structure the federation will be able much more to support the

Swiss community and reach a sustainable growth in the eSport scene in

Switzerland.

Now, I‟d like to take a short to reflect what I have in my hands as the secretary

general of IeSF. There are, not sufficient enough though, fiscal supports from the

government and the presidential company. I have experiences in this field

accumulated for the past 10 years, and friends and colleagues from in and out of

the country who listen to my words. Also, there are universities interested in

cultivating human resources, a broadcasting company well disposed to us, and

game publishers who would like to support us for good. When considering all

these attention and supports, I may need to count my blessings and stop

complaining.

Rethink one by one as going back to the time when there was no infrastructure

of e-sports. Wipe out all of the useless agonies, anxieties, and regrets. Imagine if

it is empty hands as releasing all the worthless interests. And I ask myself if I

really did my best or selected right devices in the given circumstance. I reflect

myself if this is just my own desperation after only few times trial. Now, my

reflection brings me back to my first intention. What are the people‟s

expectations on me regarding e-sports? What are my duties and specialties to

meet these expectations?

To talk about the relationship between e-sports and myself, I should go back to

end of 90‟s. In fact, when I first met e-sports, I was a bit aloof on it, because I had

been more like general sports oriented person with less interest in gaming.

Preferably than gaming itself, I was just fascinated by somewhat nonsense vision,

Profitability and Human Resource in e-Sports

!

As looking at the natural disasters occurring

around the world, it strikes me how fine

situation I am facing, what I despond of the

current position for, and if the situation itself

that I can try at least is the happiness. Wouldn‟t

it be the right thing to look for if there is

anything left for trial, before we whine for

being stuck in the trials of life? We may need to

rather have another hope than regrets when we

trip on a hurdle of the life, even at the end of

our best shot.

which we could organize international game tournament for the very first time

in the world, or could establish an international organization such as IOC. I

remember that the pride and sense of duty as a pioneer somehow attracted me as

well. To me at the time, it was not an important matter whether e-sports have the

potential to grow up as a sound industry. I just felt good with that I could dream

cool and challenge drastic. Moreover, the promise of companies triggered my

decision, which would support a good sum of sponsorship with considerable

interest in this unfamiliar field.

It went pretty well at the beginning. It was the world‟s first attempt and unique,

but, for last 10 years, it has ended up with the current crisis as it met the

limitation of profitability and creating human resources. In those days, I

somehow overlooked the fact that sustainability may get threatened when fails to

secure long term profitability and fine human resources, howsoever the idea was

unique and attractive.

Thus, for the better future of e-sports, I deeply contemplate these two missions.

First of all, since e-sports have several aspects differed from general sports do, e-

sports organizations should arm themselves with more business oriented mind

than other sports organizations do in order to position themselves as reputable

sports organizations. Also, they need to design and create things for ROI with

dedicated attitude getting rid of dictatorial behaviors.

Even a moral obligation clearly justified works only when there is fundamental

demand. We need to realize that anything is worthless unless there are needs of

consumers. For realization of sports-wise of e-sports, even if it is hard to establish

a commercial basis, yet we should practically consider transforming the system to

business-friendly, which would satisfy ROI of stakeholders or consumers‟ needs.

Whichever we take for a direction to transform, I think we need to listen earnestly

to developers, publishers and sponsors‟ voices. Although we have to take

hardship, transformation is essential.

Secondly, it may take time, yet development of high skilled human resources

must be resolved with answers. As the saying, „garbage in, garbage out‟ states, a

field can sustain longer in the market when best products are derived by best

manpower. This is truly not to denigrate current professions in the field, yet this

industry should be led by more professionals who have studied deeply and

dedicated to the field intensively.

I believe that there is a way, for sure, where there is a will, with the best shot. Of

course, it may be beyond one with a lone hand, yet, wouldn‟t it be possible if all

the parties and colleagues in this field found a kindred spirit?

1. How long have you been working in e-sports field and what motivation

brought you into this field?

I have been following international e-Sports from 2004, but only took an active

role in developing Sri Lankan e-Sports in 2007. I was passionate about both

video games and sports from an early age – leading my school teams in Tennis,

Football and Cricket and being very active in local gaming cafes at the same time.

The overlapping of competition and video games came naturally to me. I used to

watch events like WCG and ESWC and fantasize about the day that Sri Lanka

would hold similar events. During the 2007 and 2008 period, I reached a point

where I was in position to start setting the foundation for what e-Sports in Sri

Lanka is today.

2. Please tell us briefly about beginning, history, and current status of e-

sports market in Sri Lanka.

The e-Sports phenomenon came very late to Sri Lanka, with a lot of barriers.

There existed gaming cafes, where youngsters would get together and play

Warcraft III and Counter-Strike 1.6 over LAN. At this point, e-Sports didn‟t exist

in a proper format – but cafes used to hold mini-tournaments for their members

with ad hoc rules and regulations. In 2007 we formed the online community

“Gamer.LK”, which was the catalyst for bringing proper e-Sports to Sri Lanka. It

started with organized online weekend sessions called “Weekend Gaming” where

about 15 – 30 members would login and connect to a home-hosted Counter-

Strike 1.6 server. This was at a time that dedicated gaming servers didn‟t exist in

Sri Lanka. From there, with weekend gaming growing at a rapid pace, Gamer.LK

introduced the first 32 slot dedicated Counter-Strike 1.6 server. This proved to be

hugely popular, and with that came more interest in the game-server hosting

business. The first official inter-clan online Counter-Strike 1.6 match was played

in December 2007. This was the beginning of the clan scene in Sri Lanka.

We are introducing Raveen Wijayatilake, the president

of “Sri Lanka e-Sports Association (SLESA)”. SLESA is

the sole and representative e-sports federation of Sri

Lanka, which newly joined as one of the respectful IeSF

members. We would like to share his vision and passion

toward e-sports with you all.

13

Fast forward 4 years and we have several large and established clans with

members exceeding 500+ with hundreds more smaller active clans. Frequent

gaming tournaments held to international standards, and one large scale regional

tournament held annually. We have participated in WCG, IeSF and other national

tournaments abroad (ICGC etc). We have made significant strides in getting e-

Sports noticed by Sri Lankas marketing industry and Governmental organizations.

The Sri Lanka Cyber Games 2011 tournament was opened by Secretary to the

Ministry of Sports of Sri Lanka, where he promised his full support for pushing

e-Sports forward as the sport of the future.

3. Please give us introduction of “SLeSA” and major projects of it.

The Sri Lanka Electronic Sports Association (SLeSA) is Sri Lanka‟s only

association dedicated to the growth and development of e-Sports in the country. It

consists of a number of Sri Lankan organisations involved and contributing to the

Sri Lankan e-Sports scene today. SLeSA oversees the organization and conduct

of all major LAN and online tournaments in Sri Lanka, with plans to introduce a

Gamer-ID for Sri Lankan gamers. It is also the sole association pushing for e-

Sports to be recognized as an official sport in Sri Lanka.

4. What are the policies of Sri Lanka government towards e-sports in the

country? And how do these policies effect on the e-sports in Sri Lanka?

The Sri Lanka e-Sports Association has been working closely with the Sri

Lankan government in making it aware of e-Sports and the e-Sports situation in

Sri Lanka. Previously, we made significant progress in educating the Sports

Ministry as to what e-Sports is and what our plans for e-Sports is in Sri Lanka.

The Sports Ministry was eager to learn more about this new sport and did

extensive research into the subject of e-Sports world wide. SLeSA also produced

a proposal which contained all information about e-Sports internationally and in

Sri Lanka, along with the cognitive/social/economic benefits of supporting the

sport. We took a large step forward this year by inviting the Secretary to Sports

Ministry, Mr. Udaya Seneviratne to open the Sri Lanka Cyber Games 2011

championship. He pledged his support to push e-Sports forward as the sport of

the future.

5. what do you expect „SLeSA‟ can contribute to global e-sports?

As the e-Sports scene in Sri Lanka grows, our capability to get involved in

international e-Sports will increase greatly. Greater participation in international

tournaments will be a first step for us. With more emphasis and exposure given to

e-Sports, the quality and skill level of Sri Lankan cyber-athletes is expected to

increase. We already have talented cyber-athletes today. That way, we can

contribute in the form of increased participation and more competitive matches at

international e-Sports events. On a more long-term basis, SLeSA along with the

cooperation of other South Asian countries, plan on developing e-Sports in South

Asia. e-Sports has a long way to go in South Asia, if compared to other

continents such as Europe etc. SLeSA has spoken to several e-Sports leaders in

South Asia and have made plans to get together and work towards improving e-

Sports within the continent – a realistic and reachable goal.

6. What do you think should necessarily be taken to raise and develop e-

sports in Asia or boarder countries of Sri Lanka?

Regional cooperation will play a key role in improving e-Sports in Asia.

However, true improvement can only be seen when put against other countries in

the region. A regional tournament that involved all South Asian countries is

something that should be established and organized collectively by all South

Asian countries. The geographical proximity and overlap in large company

presence in some of the countries should be taken advantage of when considering

funding of large-scale tournaments. This is something is lacking at the moment,

but the first steps have been taken to create change.

7. If there is any recommendation or supplement point that you want to

comment on IeSF for being the global leader of e-sports, please tell us.

The IeSF has taken great initiative in consolidating international e-Sports with

the formation of a governing body. Once the countries that already support e-

Sports have been registered as members and the IeSF membership is at a stable

state, it is important to push forward to spreading the joy of e-Sports to countries.

Introductory workshops and establishing local organizations with interested youth

will go a long way in spreading the word. This is where the IeSF should step in –

introduce and educate people about e-Sports. Enlighten them that the past-time

they enjoy can be pushed forward and taken more seriously – that it can be more

than just a waste of time as perceived by the general populous.
