Rethink Games with Scott Novis Scott

In this much-delayed final episode of my 7 part series on starting an esports program, I want to touch on perhaps the most important part of the program.  Play! It is a short episode but don't let that fool you.  There's still some great information. 

Continuing my series on starting a recreational esports program, I tackle part 6 - Progress.  Players join communities for a variety of reasons but one of the most important is their desire to improve.  There are a variety of ways to make sure your program cultivates the potential of the players.

Over this 7 part series, I am touching on the key elements for establishing an esports program.  The list



1. People

2. Purpose

3. Place

4. Platform

5. Process

6. Progress

7. Play!



Today I focus on the process part of the equation.  I hope you find it useful.  You can find more information at scottnovis.com, or my company bravous.com.

# Starting an Esports Program Part 4: Platforms

In the "trade" we call the computer hardware that video games run on the platform.  There are three:



1. Personal Computers

2. Consoles

3. Mobile



While mobile is becoming a thing in esports, in this episode I'm going to focus on PC and Console, talking about the tradeoffs and how to think about them.

When you are investing in creating a healthy esports community, place becomes the next most important item on your list.  If you have great people, a clear purpose, now you need to know where to focus your efforts.



You can listen to this episode on Anchor.fm or where ever you get your podcasts.

This episode runs a tad long at 14 minutes, however, this part of the content I think is pretty essential for starting a program.  You want to get clarity on your program's purpose.
