Esports demands a unique set of skills from its participants. Players must possess excellent hand-eye coordination, quick reflexes, strategic thinking and deep knowledge of game mechanics. Traditional sports on the other hand, emphasize physical athleticism, endurance, and mastery of specific techniques. The skill sets required in traditional sports often involve years of training to develop muscle memory and refine techniques. Esports vs. Traditional Sports — Using the Olympics as Analogy Consider traditional sports as the classic Olympic events such as running and gymnastics, where athletes showcase their physical abilities. In contrast, esports can be compared to newer Olympic events like snowboarding or skateboarding, where competitors demonstrate skill and strategy using electronic platforms. Just as both types of events are celebrated in the Olympics, traditional sports and esports each have their own dedicated fan bases and competitive landscapes. We can't wait to see the esports in the Olympics someday! #esports #esportsdifference #esportsbusiness #esportsskills #traditionalsports #sportsworld

Thoughts on how to win from a weaker region. Recently our R6S team from Korea after many many many years of trying was able to qualify for the Manchester Major as champions of Korea . This is a huge milestone for us as R6S has been a game we have struggled to find competitive success. Talon's mission statement however being "Represent the best of Asia Pacific." means we are always try and find ways to bring the level up of our region to challenge the best in the world even if its historically from a weaker region. In each and every esports you see competitive performance across different regions develop a very different speeds. A lot of this is down many different factors but a simplification might be due to the popularity of the game which directly leads to how big the community is which in turn leads to the competitive community. While we are generally face a smaller player pool for R6S in APAC this does not mean we cant find success here are some of the areas we feel have helped us level up. 1. Knowledge and Game Understanding - Our R6S team previously had leveraged local coaches to develop and select players. While we had mixed success we saw the development of EU region has far outpaced that of the APAC region and thus decided to bring in some of worlds best coaches and analysts (shoutout Dohoon Kim for making it happen). Thus we decided to bring in Fabien and Pengu (Multiple time world champions in R6S) as means to level up the knowledge and game understanding. The short term results speak for themselves but longer term we aim to soak up as much knowledge and also build networks to ensure we can provide the best infrastructure from scouting and development of R6S players for our region. 2. Training - We have a saying at Talon 'Iron Sharpens Iron' If you want to become the best you need to train with the best. In esports scrims are an important part of practice and execution for game day. If the quality of the scrim partners around you is not at the highest level domestically when you go to international level you will always be left wanting. Recently we have been in the process of developing performance centers in regions outside of APAC so as players can bootcamp to develop and improve outside of our region. Why you ask? Well if the quality of training is not good enough in APAC then we need to be spending periods of time training with our EU, US, MENA or LATAM counterparts to learn and develop. Scrimming and training with the best will help level up your standards. 3. Inspire for the next generation of gamers - Often when teams from weaker regions do well at international tournaments it can inspire the next generation of future talent for that game. At Talon we feel its important to set lofty goals to work towards in order to set an example of our region to inspire the next generation that we can beat the best in the world. Amazing Q1 start to '24 and a lot more to come hopefully :) Also Shoutout to the PSG buff as well :)

As a French company, headquartered in Paris, we’re incredibly proud of the fantastic coverage at this year’s Olympics. Paris truly was a great host and now we look forward to the start of the Paralympics next week. 🇫🇷 It was great to see some new sports inaugurated this year, representing the increasing diversity and participation in different sporting activities. 🛹 We’ve already seen that the IOC lent its support to the first-ever Virtual Olympics Series in the runup to the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and it seems like the Committee may have its eyes on the inclusion of esports for the next Games in Los Angeles in 2028. 🇺🇸 With strong growth in all major areas of esports, particularly with the younger demographic across the world, including esports could increase the appeal of the Olympics and engage new audiences. 🎮 Whether or not it is sanctioned for inclusion remains to be seen but we’re keeping an eye open further news. 👀 Have your say in the comments. Do you think we’ll ever see the likes of CS2 or LoL at the Olympic Games in the future? 🤔 #OlympicGames #Paris2024 #Esports #IOC #LA2028 #EsportsOlympics #PandaScore

Both in terms of audience and revenue, the Esports business has experienced phenomenal expansion over time. The growing audience has largely led to revenue growth and not simply because those viewers generate income. Although the term Esports Winter still affects this industry, there are many well-known brands (e.g. Microsoft, The Walt Disney Company, Savvy Games Group, Kia Europe, etc) that are investing in Esports marketing, both directly and indirectly, since they see the opportunity to reach a big and engaged audience. Esports has also experienced growth in several other aspects such as Collegiate Esports! As we look ahead to the future of Esports education, it’s clear that the trajectory of these programs (e.g. NEXUS Collegiate) will be shaped by both internal and external factors. On one hand, the continued growth of Esports courses within education and the maturation of the Esports industry is likely to fuel demand for specialized education and training opportunities. After all, there’s no sign of the education sector slowing down anytime soon. As Esports becomes increasingly integrated into mainstream culture, the stigma surrounding gaming-related degrees may diminish, leading to greater acceptance and recognition within academic and professional circles. Together with our partners, Phoenix Blue, Esport United, Jönköpings kommun. Region Jönköpings län, Destination Jönköping, JUSTICE Esports Association, and NYSA Sweden, we will do our best to create a condition for collegiate Esports, in Scandinavia (with Sweden as the center), to thrive in this part of the world!
