  • SmartAPE: orangie: The on-boarding web2 gamers to web3 has not been done right. By targeting active web2 gamers who seek opportunities to win prizes, & connect with communities, i’d say the values line up pretty well to those of the web3 community. In my experience, I am absolutely certain that you’re never - ever - going to onboard Web2 gamers to Web3 by having them play and/or sponsor via Web2 games. The conversion rate, I would guess, would hover around 0 because, Web3 gaming angst aside, it’s going to take a lot more than just passive sponsorships to convert. It’s specially why, in marketing, you have to do “targeted” engagements. e.g. don’t trying marketing condoms to a priest. So, sponsoring a Web2 esports outfit isn’t going to be impactful. Might as well spend the money on plastering the Apecoin logo on park and bus stop benches, sides of buses etc. At least then, they would be seen - and the targeting is all-encompassing. Any type of marketing, sponsorship, partnership etc. is always a good thing. However, most people in our DAO simply don’t understand that concept because they’ve never actually run let alone owned a business or even worked in marketing. That’s the only way to understand what it means to market via sponsorships. I have just experienced this first-hand in my game AIP-316 in which some people simply don’t understand the concept of “impactful marketing spends”, despite the fact that I spent a lot of time laying it all out. Unless the DAO spends money on sponsorships, marketing etc. it’s not going to succeeded in the long-term. There’s a reason that marketing - for any venture - is a key aspect of growth and sustainability. I like this AIP idea, but I don’t like that it’s targeting the wrong demographic, as that’s just a waste of money, and is of no benefit to Apecoin.

  Content: Overtime Gaming filter from Most Popular when it was being focused on as Fear Chonic. All videos have hundreds of thousands of views. This is when it was ran by us. Same applies to Luminosity. Filter that by most popular. This is when Aeolus was running it. Every video has millions of views. Ghost Gaming, look at it when it was One Percent; also done by Aeolus. And same to Obey. Aeolus has brought his squad everywhere. He knows how to build Millions of views. I’m not here to ask for 1 . 5 M$ and pull a couple thousand views. I genuinely want to continue to build something amazing for ApeCoin Esports. So to answer your question - Filter all those videos to when they were ran by us. Few years ago. Ghost Gaming is only one currently uploading and ran by Aeolus but they dont have a roster of Creators right now that are big. Mainly a big Rocket League team. (Franchised)

  Content: I just checked the budget. It seems someone changed it all to “operating expenses” . Wasn’t anyone on my team. Edits were public. Editing that now, thanks for letting us know. Yes essentially this is a title sponsorship / an esports team powered by ApeCoin. This is a marketing play for ApeCoin. A way to use the name and logo and have it shown everywhere, an esports team being built from the ground up. As far as the comparison chart you speak about, would like to see that too. This is what Aeolus wrote up - In comparison to other organizations, these views per their brand channels are actually competitive. These views are not inclusive of what would be network wide viewership per month from all players. These KPIs are precisely about brand channels, and that is where the true value is built because we have complete control over the asset and the things it promotes. This team has run organizations and or been part of them for over 25 years combined and in the process been part of building some of the biggest brand channels in esports. Overtime Gaming: Overtime Gaming - YouTube Luminosity: Luminosity on Youtube Obey Alliance: Obey Alliance - YouTube One Percent (now Ghost Gaming): ghost gaming on youtube (CANT LINK MORE THAN 2 LINKS) Current industry standards across monthly brand channel viewership for the teams see that most top tier esports teams are above the 100 , 000 viewership line, and landing there and up until 300 , 000 viewers per video. Notable brands would include TSM, Team Liquid, and G 2 esports. Within three months we are essentially proposing to build monthly viewership to levels competitive with top brands and within the full year be surpassing and also competitive with some of the biggest esports teams in the space. ** I also think it’s important to note that while we were running these teams the views were millions a month. 2 of these teams are not currently run by us.

  • BojangleGuy: Not sure if I clicked the wrong links or what but all those orgs you mentioned are averaging sub 2,000 views per video on their youtube channels. Overtime gaming hasn’t posted in 11 months.

  Content: Hi Bojangle. 100 T all day here too haha. We both know this is not for profit because esports profit truly is not there completely. This is strictly an enormous opportunity for a marketing especially with Otherside and other games for HV MTL I truly think we can on-board thousands of people into that ecosystem. I personally do not think the best way to start is by starting off on the content creation side because I don’t believe there is anyone who is currently a free agent who can move the needle. I also value a potential Team ApeCoin competing at a top level and building a storyline/emotional connection to the players and coaches when you see how much time they put into competing at the highest level more than just paying a content creator to represent the team. That is why our budget is mainly set up for a strong VCT team. I agree that we will 100 % need more than $ 1 . 5 M. I want this first year to be a period of us proving to the ApeCoin DAO just how beneficial this can be. I don’t think it is in our best interest to try to ask for a $ 50 M grant right off the bat. I am confident that in a year the DAO will want to continue the relationship; and im sure we can figure something out legally to where ApeCoin remains the title sponsor with our without further funds. Trying to answer these as best and honest as possible. Let me know if you any further questions!

  • BojangleGuy: I just don’t see how starting a VAL team for $1,500,000 (who would need $20,000,000+ more within 12 months to stay afloat) is a good idea. With $1,500,000 the DAO could sponsor 50 content creators (YouTube/Twitch/Kick/Stacked if they start) for $1,000 a month each (which IMO is shooting high and could probably pay less and sponsor more) and still have $700,000 left over to sponsor tournaments, contests, giveaways, merch lines, product, etc in the e-sports realm. They could fund a content house powered by ApeCoin with gamers, creators, influencers, etc and bring in much more views than a VAL team trying to start from nothing. I bring this up because 98% of the people who will vote on this have no idea about esports. They won’t know that the top esports teams in the world who have brought on hundreds of millions of dollars are still not profitable and are on the verge of going under. Content is king right now. People are watching YouTube shorts and TikToks. If we are funding 50+ people to create content for us that reach would 100x the reach of a VAL team. You wouldn’t be able to log onto Twitch without seeing someone streaming who is Powered by ApeCoin. Why do you think GFuel sponsors everyone on Twitch who has more then 5 viewers?? Because it gets their name EVERYWHERE and they don’t have to pay for it because it is all based on how much product that creator sales to their community. I don’t want you to feel like I am attacking you. But there is definitely better ways to spend $1,500,000 to break ApeCoin into the esports/gaming scene and to bring Web2 gamers into Web3.

  Content: Appreciate it. To answer your concerns; a key step in this esports team success is to keep the runway going for as long as possible without needing to ask for more funds from the ApeCoin DAO within the first year. I want to be clear that in my head I see this as a trial-period. An esports team realistically requires millions of dollars to compete at the highest level of every title. 100 T raised $ 60 M in Series C most recently. Their initial funding series was $ 25 M to begin with. Franchise spots in esports are expensive. We are not starting there. To answer question # 2 this is a title sponsorship oppurtunity.

  • anunnaki_reborn: orangie: To answer question #2 this is a title sponsorship oppurtunity. I’m not exactly sure how this works or what is being proposed. Would the title be permanent regardless of future sponsors? My frame of reference professional sports. If an american football team’s city stops paying the NFL a franchise fee, the team moves. And often changes it’s name. Or in commercial real estate, flagship skyscrapers like “the Salesforce Tower” here in San Francisco pay for that distinction. If Salesforce stops paying Boston Properties that licensing fee another company can take over the name. In fact, they are in an 8 year lease. They may not renew.
