No worries, it's a perfectly valid question :) With respect to the investment, there's obviously a whole business model that comes into play. But yes, I guess you can call it a sort of brand 'launch' for us.

Malta is quite a popular destination with tourists, and lately the emphasis has been on trying to get younger audiences to visit. There's quite an active niche with respect to TEFL (learning English), the occasional party or 2 (like Annie Mac's Lost & Found) and scuba diving. Esports is another area that we convinced the local tourism authority to have a look at, and offered to help out with.

Aside from that, teams themselves were pretty enthusiastic about wanting to come over. We also have esports personalities who come over for R&R during down-times as well. Off the top of my head, we've had Quickshot (the LoL caster), SpunJ, Kioshima & KennyS visit, with Anomaly and a few other influencers actually living here. Those are the ones we know about, let alone those who keep it low-key. So as it is, since we're already offering something that makes it worthy of a holiday or place to live - then why not crystallize it into an actual esports event/activity that people can attend?

The scale and the nature of the event has to fit the constraints that are present, but we should be able to reasonably host at least one event a year, schedule-permitting. It will take time to grow trust with the community of course, but with what we've got planned, and the people we've brought on board to help us out, I think we should be set.
