Title: Integrating E-Sports
Post by: Byron Cavendish on September 23, 2013, 06:58:54 pm
Currently we have a downtime in our competitive scene. I'd like to raise certain points about how we could promote it on Muse's end. I think a majority of in-game players are not aware that there are competitive matches to watch. It would be great to see a comeback of the steam pop-ups of Cogs events starting, just like you currently do with the fireside chat. Furthermore, I would love to see some kind of integrated in-game UI, such as a streaming news, that lists upcoming events and links. Maybe even a little box with live video. I know keeping the in-game UI free from being cluttered and busy is a delicate business so I understand this may not be possible. However trying to integrate the vast community in our e-sport would keep them interested in the game much longer. Look what it did for LoL and SC2.

So basically you're suggesteing something like an ingame Twitter feed? I agree then.

I am sure the training day guys would also appreciate an in game feed of the latest community events.

I'm fairly certain they have mentioned it many times before.

Remember E-sporters - training makes the players of tomorrow, we don't need to be strangers. In fact if you're in gmt-5 or gmt+1 (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GOIO_Training#announcements/detail/1805105980389391199)
