What kind of gamers are you looking to get to play against each other? Actual professional gamers or amateurs?
It'll be pretty difficult to find people who would be willing to play in what's basically a casino, I don't think it's a good idea to try and get people to come over to a physical place and have gamblers make bets on those matches.
I really doubt that the quality of those games would be enough and how would you even calculate the odds, if you're not working with professional teams? Or will you pay pro's to come and play there?
What are your thoughts about coming them over to a physical place?
Mostly amateurs that have good skills, that's why they're going to show off in online games first and go to the physical place later to play on LAN. The odds are going to be calculated with statistics from online matches. I guess there're going to be professional teams too if the payout is enough. If they can get 50-100$ a day each, it's not that bad for a gamer.
Well, you're going to have a very small pool of gamers that would be willing to play at your event. Their travel costs would probably be greater than what they would win.
Why is there even a need to do this at a physical location? Isn't it far easier to host online tournaments and have people place their bets online?
You've also got to think about all the costs for you, it'll be very expensive to get a location and all the other equipment.
It would really be an expensive thing if we do try out to see all the things to be considered on such event.It would really be not sufficient on the funds be accumulated to host such event. Numbers would really be just limited since physical place would really be just be good into those local person who do live near that place but since we are talking globally then it would really be hard. Non-sense suggestion for me.
