LAN Party Tournament Streaming On MLG

Matt Jackson, owner of The Attic, made a profitable business around eSports and LAN parties/championships. His efforts eventually lead to the creation of The Ultimate Gaming Championship, which will be held from March 13 - March 16.

Mr. Jackson states...

"UGC went from being a small tournament into a national event. It will host the top 5 US teams in a Call of Duty tournament." According to the host "each member of the top team has over 100,000 twitter followers, which [UGC] hopes will tune into the live stream."

You are able to watch the UGC on the Major League Gaming website then tune in here to witness the tournament. With all the popularity in preparation for a LAN tournament, Matt has plans for a fighting game championship in April as well.

My Thoughts

As we look at how the industry can move forward, eSports is a clear choice for gaining a new audience. LAN parties/championships have been simulating these major events for years. Seeing a thriving business model around eSports with a property solely dedicated to LAN parties is refreshing. I hope we continue to hear about such success stories.
