About me:
Video gaming is a billionaire giant that even Hollywood envies, with large game titles, like Halo 3, having mouth dropping first day sales of over $300 million! Competitive console gaming has emerged as one of the largest tournament venues on the market where millions of viewers are tuning in each week to watch their favorite pros battle it out through MLG’s broadcast on the G4 Network. Beyond that, large companies are putting together their own tournament venues and looking to endorse the most marketable players on the circuit.
Consider these questions:
Is your company looking to diversify its advertising funds?
Are you stuck in a rut with traditional advertising?
Does your company wish its advertising would convert at a higher rate?
Player Sponsorship and Businesses
Several ad firms and companies are changing direction with marketing and are seeking new ways to drive attention to their products and services. Many large firms, including Best Buy, Pepsi, McDonald’s and Coke, have used video gaming events and player sponsorships to drive traffic to their stores and product. Even professional athletes are getting involved!
Lil Poison is one of the most marketable faces in the gaming industry, not only because of his age, but because of his success both inside and outside of gaming events. Latest publicity includes being placed in the Guinness Book of World Records and landing on the front page of the New York Times. Lil Poison is currently being filmed for a documentary due to be released nationwide in the summer of 2008.
Lil’ Poison=big man
Posted in Sports, City Living by Evan Narcisse on June 6th, 2007
Some child prodigies show an unmistakable talent, at an extraordinarily early age, for playing the piano or throwing a football. Eight-year-old Long Island resident Victor De Leon III, however, had a chance encounter with a video-game controller at age two that took him out of the playground and into the testosterone-fueled upper echelons of professional video gaming.
Currently rocking the title of “world’s youngest professional gamer,” the boy also known as LiL Poison competes National Event competitions and is one of the top-ranked Halo players in the world. How does Victor justify playing games from the M-rated Halo franchise, a sci-fi shoot-’em-up recommended for players 17 and older? “My dad makes sure I play games that aren’t too bad,” De Leon says. “He plays them first by himself and then lets me in the room if it’s okay.” So while college kids risk plummeting GPAs to stage dorm-room Xbox tournaments, LiL Poison picks up pro sponsorships, gets interviewed by 60 Minutes,Wired and The Wall Street Journal and has earned a handsome amount of prize money thus far.
Even for a hotshot joystick jockey, the big book of kid rules still applies. “I come back from school and do my homework first,” he admits. After that, there’s a rigorous two-hour-a-night training regimen: “I practice and compete like someone who is on a football team or baseball team.” After racking up the victories, he winds down by “doing normal things [like] watching cartoons, playing with my pets and going to my cousin’s house.”
Victor may be the envy of his classmates, but Lil Poison isn’t one to throw a game just to make the other kids feel better. “I never let them win,” he says. “It’s so funny. I always have to show them how to play.” — Libe Goad
