“Post-to-Post is about gaming entertainment and when one
considers the staggering statistics for E-Sports globally, it naturally follows
that we put our support behind the team with the vision to organise and lead
what many may believe is an idle hobby”.
CEO of P2P Betting
& Gaming Entertainment Sandra Donaldson commenting on their sponsorship
deal with the founders of CPC (Clan Pro Circuit) Video Game Tournament
E-sport, which involves professional and amateur video game
players vying for trophies and prizes like any other sport, hadn't been getting
much attention in Jamaica.
But it's slowly rising it prominence thanks to the CPC (Clan
Pro Circuit) Video Game Tournament as explained in my blog article
entitled “Wayne
Benjamin's Clan Pro Circuit Video Game Tournament – How E-Sports can work in
Jamaica despite no Video Game Development Competitions”.
Wayne' Benjamin's CPC (Clan Pro Circuit) Video Game
Tournament recently scored a landmark sponsorship deal with P2P Betting &
Gaming Entertainment, the first of its kind in Jamaica as reported in the
article “Tech
Times: E-Sports Boosted By P2P Betting And Gaming Entertainment”, Published
Monday November 9, 2015, The Jamaica
Gleaner.

With the CPC season finale of their 2015 Gaming season,
dubbed 'Mash Di Button' to be held at the Shirley Retreat Hotel, 7 Maeven
Avenue, Kingston 10, on Saturday, November 29th, 2015, and this deal
seem set for the long haul.
Good to note here that Wayne
Benjamin is no longer a part of CPC, albeit he still hosts the Cable Channel
show for the CPC Video Game Tournament. It seems he’s has a parting of ways
with Gregory Moore and Andrew Johnson, the principal founders of the Video Game
Tournament!
P2P Betting & Gaming Entertainment apparently wants to
be a part of the action, possibly being able to have punters place bets on star
video game players as many are already famous.
To quote CEO of P2P Betting & Gaming Entertainment
Sandra Donaldson, they want in, quote: “Post-to-Post wants to be a part of
bringing this exciting phenomenon to Jamaica and looks forward to the continued
success of the Clan Pro Circuit team in staging their series of E-Sports gaming
events”.
P2P Betting &
Gaming Entertainment sponsors Clan Pro Circuit - How E-Sports in Jamaica can
lead to Video Game Developer Communities
Globally e-sport is on the rise, slowly gaining recognition
abroad, the main reason why Amazon purchased Twitch, the game streaming website
for some US$970 million on Monday August 25th 2014 as reported in my blog article
entitled “The
E-Sport Phenomenon and Amazon's Twitch Aquisition - How Amazon’s Twitch creates
Video Gaming Celebrities and jumpstarts Jamaican Game Development”.
P2P Betting & Gaming Entertainment knows this and is
aware of the emergent trend of Video Gaming Tournaments in Jamaica, which is
already attracting hundreds of gamers.
At the rate global projected growth is moving, we might even
begin to see Video Gaming developement take root here in Jamaica as noted in my
blog article
entitled “Prof.
Joseph Saulter's Digital Game Design and Development Conference - US$112
Billion Video Gaming Industry may be Jamaicans Next BPO”.
Thus to them a bet on CPC (Clan Pro Circuit) Video Game
Tournament is a bet on a future entertainment medium that can potentially make
money from them as a younger generation gets hooked to watching competitive
Video Games as a sport to quote CEO of P2P Betting & Gaming Entertainment
Sandra Donaldson: “At Post-to-Post, our goal is to continuously improve and
enhance the gaming entertainment experiences we carry to our customers by
bringing them new and exciting products. This partnership represents yet
another fulfillment of this goal”.
Still have my fingers crossed for the developement of Video
Gaming Developer communities in Jamaica, something which a Video Gaming Developer Competition can
help to pollinate in the minds of Jamaicans. But for now, E-Sports slow rise
will help to feed to passion that local gamers have for what many consider a
couch potatoes sport!
