Insight Studios

  • Quote

Post by site »

Hey guys! I'm going to use this as a content hub and forum plug to brainstorm and plan with my companions in my newest endeavor.

Insight by site is no longer just by site. This is Insight Studios, and we're planning some fun stuff for you guys!

Goals:
Tournaments
Interviews
A newsletter
Opportunities
Community Recognition

Tournaments:
Several of you have noticed my unique style with my twitch channel, including polls, currency, and fun playstyles. It's caused the channel to take off and all the fun times with my co-casters have inspired the first of many tournaments the Studio will produce. Tournaments will be quarterly and serve two purposes.

The first purpose is to provide competitive gameplay between players of a wide range of PR. We will have a PR 17-25 Tourney, a PR 26-34 Tourney (the current one), and a PR 35+ Tourney. These tournaments are all invitationals. The last tournament will be an open signup for all PR's.

The second purpose is to provide aspiring casters and co-casters an established channel to grow their personal fan base. As my pool of casters and co-casters grows I will be able to easily pair experienced and inexperienced folks to various tournament games. This will allow for quality content and mentorship at the same time!

Interviews:
I plan to begin to do Insight Interviews so that you guys can get some Insight into what goes on behind the scenes in the various facets of the community! More on this at a future date.

Newsletters:
The Studio's Insight Editorial Staff will start to roll out weekly papers beginning in February! These papers will cover the latest news in ESOC. Tourney updates, up and coming players, community shout outs, Ask Insight column, latest drama, and of course a comedy segment.

Opportunities:
All of these things have started some forward motion due to the fantastic people that have been brainstorming and planning alongside me. If you're interested in having a shot at co-casting a series, please drop in to the Studio's Discord and tag me! If you're interested in being part of the newsletter, do the same! If you want to see the behind the scenes do the same as well! I'm always open to ideas and getting to know you guys even better.

Community Recognition:
One of the things we want to do is start a Hall of Fame and weekly contests with the reward of landing in the Hall of Fame.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's begin.

A vanilla tournament is something I would like to host. At the moment I've only got the staffing to do a sole tournament at a time. Let's revisit this after the New Year's Invitational is complete.

I really like the way this has been set up and organized. I'm the past there have been many people trying to do similar things but most often cause of failure is they lose motivation but the way you have it setup, you can decide to stop or take a break or even lose motivation (not saying you will ofc) and but there will still be many others left to take over. Overall this is just incredibly well organized so good job.

Thanks for recognizing the format! It has a sustainable model for growth, as the weeks progress we should see more and more videos and the like.

As of now, the plan is to both post it on the Studio Discord and to post it to the forums here. If you have any suggestions on how else to distribute it, let me know. :D

Can't schedule stuff. If I do casting it will have to be on my own with myself.

Well, casting is not the only avenue for you to get involved! I still need some more writers for the editorial staff. You could be our nilla plug and talk about nilla things in your segment.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have some lovely news for you all. I have been approached by the ESOC team about the content we have been putting out as of late. They have requested that we collaborate more closely and use our teams’ skills in content creation and event organization in full on partnership. I will soon be joining the Media Team!

Where does this leave the Studio?

In an even better place! The Studio now has a very involved plug to the ESOC team, allowing for very close integration between aspiring content producers and ESOC itself. The Studio will serve as a media hub for the community, allowing for the quick acquiring of a caster or co-caster in a pinch, not only for ESOC Tournaments, but for anybody running an event. Our prior goals have become even easier to achieve and will be easily distributed to a large audience.

What are the goals as of now?
A weekly newsletter, beginning in February.
Regular community interviews.
Invitational Tournaments
OPPORTUNITIES! If you want to cast games, write articles, edit videos, or create maps… this is the place for it all to come together!

More info on the development of the Invitational Tournaments soon, everything is about to get a whole lot more… HYPED
(Spoiler Alert: The full integration between the Invitationals and ESOC means that the dream of tangible, wide PR ranged prize pools will become a reality!)

Because not everyone has to? You seem to be obsessed though, so why don't you do something meaningful in this community?
