How three guys turned their college dream into an esports company
Hong Kong’s leading esports company wants to turn the city into a go-to host for global tournaments
Holding an esports tournament is hard work.
Each competitor needs their own separate computer running the game. When one match ends, the other has to begin soon after, so the audience doesn’t get bored.
And speaking of the audience, they depend on the tournament’s organizers to show them what’s happening. Someone has to keep track of dozens of separate player cameras to select the right perspective at the right time for the benefit of thousands of people in the room… and countless more watching online.
It’s a lot of work, but it’s a job that Hong Kong’s Cyber Games Arena has a lot of experience with.
“We’ve organized and set up esports events for about four, five years now,” said CGA co-founder and COO Kurt Li. “We have a very experienced crew and over a hundred helpers for events at this point.”
CGA is the one setting up all the player battlestations, broadcasting systems, and production equipment for the Esports and Music Festival in Hong Kong this weekend.
