Hello!
My name is Kip Coleman. I was recently hired as the Esports Head Coach for Centralia College in Centralia, Washington. I would love to build a team of go players and include them in our esports organization. I wonder if OGS would be willing to be an official esports platform?
I’m not sure who to reach out to, but I figured I’d post here and see. If you have any recommendations of other ways I should reach out, I’d appreciate that, too.
Thank you!
I am not officially affiliated with OGS, just another forum poster and occasional code contributor, but my question is what makes for an “official” esports platform? I think this is a neat idea, but I don’t yet understand what OGS would actually need to do other than say “sure, have fun”.
What would this mean, in practice?
Some competitive events use OGS as a server to play, or to share a game played in person (by replicating the moves on an OGS board as it goes), but as far as I know this never required any specific involvement or organization on OGS’ side.
Not sure if I’m misunderstanding that dude but to me it seems that he wants OGS to officially declare that OGS is an esports platform.
I’d assume he needs OGS to be an official esports platform for it to be considered for his program.
I would reach out to @anoek either on the forums, on the main site anoek or potentially you can email contact@online-go.com
Or with the tag, maybe he swings by and sees it also
