FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Why league? Why 2 month?

This is because a league has constant action, whereby a tourney is just 1 time off. Therefore running a league is the best choice to accomplished Spotgamers mission & vision which is to expose gamers.

The time frame was decided base on our budget & cost as well as the amount of exposure we can give to the gamers. Since it is a league, it is not feasible to be organized for a short period of time. But because most of the gamers are students or working, it is not advised to be done for a long period of time. Therefore, 2 month is the best median point for all parties.

2. I have exams/working on the match day. Can i postpone my match to the next match day?

Yes we would love to encourage that all our players to fulfil their responsibilities in both education and career. Therefore, you are allowed to bring forward your match to the next match day.

However, the management team will need to sit down with both you and your opponent to discuss on the best possible way to solve it and the validity of your reason. The player that request to postpone his match will be given a penalty from his commitment fee.

3. I want to play but i have class/work until 3.00pm. What should i do?

Our league runs from 1.00pm – 6.00pm. We would encourage and really appreciate that you will come over ASAP right after your class so that you can still play your games and to avoid any rescheduling. Re-scheduling would increase our management cost so it is better to come late than never.

There will be penalty given to late comers from their commitment fee.

4. What happens if i don’t turned up during match day?

Assuming that you didn’t inform us, your match will be forfeited and there will be penalty deducted from your commitment fee.

Therefore we would encourage all players to inform us beforehand if you couldn’t make it. We would love to establish a good communication & understanding to solve any problems with our players.

5. What makes Spotgamers E-Sports League different than the rest? What so special about this league?

The difference between Spotgamers E-Sports League and any other competition is that 80% of our energy will be focusing on exposing gamers to the public. Imagine ESPN but its for gaming!
There will be Match Prediction, Match Briefing, Pre-Interview, Live Coverage, Post-Interview, Summary & Compilation Videos, Upload Replays, Player/Team of the week, Match Analysis and many more.

All of this will be done through video recording and will be published online at Spotgamers. This is to give the best amount of exposure to our gamers. Imagine if there are 10,000 people watching your game EVERY WEEK, this will make it easy for the players to search for sponsors & recognition as well. Not just that, we are working closely with some colleges/universities to promote Spotgamers E-Sports League. So don’t be surprised if you saw your face in our posters at your colleges/universities.

So we hope that gamers don’t just look into the amount of prizes, but look into the amount of exposure that you can get and long term achievement. You will definitely be famous & popular when you are in our league.

Spotgamers E-Sports League is where we turn E-Sports into reality.

Hi Xiaofong,

Please be informed that we did not announce about any winners yet. In fact, there are misleading facts that Xlo was announced as champion due to the margin between them and Ks and MUFC.

Please note that the final matches will be played on 11th April 2010. Do ignore those forums and cite our sources from our official website. We are not responsible for any external news that differs from our official statement.
