Remember the PowerPoint presentation photo that quickly went viral a few months ago? Were these really examples and was it just a coincidence that 100% of the teams announced were featured in this image, or does this slide actually contain more information about what is happening?
I believe this coincidence stems mainly from the fact that the slide listed the nine largest cities in the United States and seven major international cities that already host a huge amount of esports.
And Montreal in all this?
As some of you know, I had launched a series of behind-the-scenes actions to raise awareness of Montreal among the people at Blizzard who work with the Overwatch League. The major social movement I initially wanted to create ultimately didn’t materialize, as a channel of communication is currently open between Blizzard and the FQSE, both with Montreal and Quebec City. We must not give up!
Are you interested in the Overwatch League and would like to bring a team to Montreal or Quebec City, or do you know someone who would be? Send me a message or email if you meet several of these criteria:
- Be financially capable of paying $3 million to $15 million just to purchase the league’s location.
- Have the working capital necessary to have about fifteen salaried employees, offices, and all the infrastructure necessary to maintain a sports team.
- Being an owner or a member of the management team of a traditional national or international sports team.
