GCDTV European Winter tourney #1

Hello, my name is Adrian and I am going to be running a set of European World of Warcraft Player vs Player tournaments as a part of the company GCDTV.



In 2016, GCDTV saw incredible successes from our community driven tournaments, peaking at 18,675 max concurrent viewers on Twitch with our North American Pro League totaling 344,368 viewers alone. From this success, GCDTV were contracted by Blizzard to help run the European and Americas Road to BlizzCon, as well as Blizzard's World of Warcraft World Championships toward the end of the year. GCDTV was created to form a community around World of Warcraft eSports, and throughout the year this goal has been achieved through consistently high quality tournaments attracting equally high viewership.

In 2017 that reputation for consistency will continue to be realised as we have recently publicised our plans for monthly European tournaments, with further US events to be announced. Funding a Prize Pool is the greatest challenge toward this goal, therefore GCDTV has the policy that any money raised through crowdfunding will always go directly into the next tournaments prize fund, therefore directly benefiting the community as larger prize funds will attract more viewers and competitors alike.

The first of these tournaments will take place starting January 20th, a 3 day event, with the first day hosting an 8 team qualifier tournament for our main event at the weekend. It has always been a key principle of GCDTV to promote accessibility to WoWeSports, and therefore one of our goals is to always give the opportunity to as many teams as we can to compete along side the top-tier talent in the community.

Over recent years WoWeSports have become my passion, seeding from myself having been a competitor 2 years running at Blizzard's World Championships in Los Angeles California. This journey has enabled me to travel the world and meet some of the most amazing individuals who are equally passionate and driven toward the goal of growing this eSport. The dream is becoming reality, with last years World Finals peaking the highest viewership of any World of Warcraft eSports event.

It is now that we at GCDTV invite you to join us in our mission to make 2017 an even bigger year for WoWeSports. We look forward to seeing you during our broadcasts (which can all be viewed on our Twitch page -
twitch.tv/GCDTV) and at World of Warcraft's LAN events beyond!
