E-Sports Website Feasibility

[fpga123]

I have experience in leading development of 2 such platforms. Both failed due to lack of investment, one in development while the other, a day before launch. The last one even had over 9000 registrations from professional gamers.

I was planning of crowd funding my own similar venture. I have recently developed the API and the Control Panel. UI Design is under construction. The following competitions will be available:

- Ladders
- Tournaments
- Individual Matches

Revenue generation will be through a subscription model. There will be free accounts as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Demo and VOD sections are always a nice feature, other than that a proper marketing strategy is what will get you far, best of luck.

Yeah we are getting some content ready and will publish on redit and some media outlets...

Fan club creation - places where people can geek out over their favourite player/team
Clearly linked/updated brackets. I go to liquipedia far more often than team liquid.
Embed stream of currently running tournaments on the main page.
VOD/Replay archive

Beware of E-sports, eSports, Esports, eSPORTS spelling. Apparently it is a big deal to some people (although I don't know if a consensus has been reached yet).

Thanks Maarsh for the suggestions.
