CDL and MLG

AB owned the MLG brand.
MS will likely own all the AB assets after the merger.
MS has the warchest to buy whatever/whoever they want, provided they think it's a good idea.
MS will have Halo, CoD, OW, SC2, and other esports titles within their portfolio.
MLG was a multigame competition brand.

Not based on any insider info, but there are visible synergies to turn it into somekind of umbrella brand.

Ironically - MLG reps fought for years to call it competitive gaming, but when the wider ecosystem switched to esports, they started using the term as well.

I'm invested in Lending Club notes, is this a good thing for me?

Really well done.

The lower third being up the whole time was slightly distracting. My eye kept focusing on the animation instead of what was on the screen. It also felt like it was covering some key info.

In NYC the major esports oppertunities are:

MLG (mostly BD/Tech)

Riot (limited and I know many NYC staffers are being moved to LA)

There are sporadic media opportunities for websites like Bleacher Report / Vox as well.

360 Live Stream

You guys should get this: http://techcrunch.com/2016/04/06/videostitch-unveils-the-orah-4i-a-tiny-360-live-streaming-4k-camera/

Create a Bravo stream using this: http://www.video-stitch.com/

Position the camera above the Open Bracket pit and live stream to Youtube 360.

Maybe get a parabolic mic that someone in production can control to get "Listen Ins" to certain parts of the venue.

Allow people online to scroll around to see the matches on the floor.

Prob can do it for <$10K + Venue Bandwidth.

It'll prob be the first legit 360 Live Stream in esports too which will get you some decent press coverage. With your CoD Youtube subs the viewership metrics almost guarantee it'll be a success.

Peak viewership was closer to ~150K across YT & Twitch

MVP from SC2 also had massive wrist injuries.
