"From Youth Tournaments to Elite Competitions - Our Journey in Esports Event Management"

The following article was written by Blue Birds Esports management team.


Hello to whoever is reading this article, we are an esports management team known as Blue Birds who recently assisted in organizing our own esports event at the Diehl Center Boys & Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan. In this event, we managed a professional esports tournament for the youth. Our responsibilities included overseeing the participants throughout the tournaments. Before the tournament date, as a team, we had to make decisions on various factors such as the game to be played and ensuring all technology was up to date and organized.


Each member of the Blue Birds played a crucial role in ensuring everything was done accordingly. Additionally, each of our members was assigned different roles including CEO, COO, CMO, CTO, & CFO. As a collective, our team believes that the event ran smoothly from start to finish, and we couldn’t envision it being any better. The event was enjoyable for all attendees, including adults who weren’t participating. There was plenty of laughter and excitement from everyone, especially the kids.


The kids provided us with fantastic feedback about the tournament, and each of them enjoyed it fondly. However, a few had suggestions for having more games such as Roblox games. We, as a team, take these suggestions as evidence of the children's desire for us to organize another esports tournament in the future, which seems to be the case with our next project we were requested to participate in. After our event, EGL invited us to assist them with a competition, Elite Gaming Live. EGL recognized how well we managed our tournament and would love for us to help them during their upcoming esports competition.

We believe that we have a promising future in this field and hope to succeed even more!
