Studio Production - Second Idea

My second idea relates to an old tv show i used to watch called Gamezville, it focussed on gaming, reviewing games and the finale of a head to head. I want to expand this idea of head to head. Maybe a group (or clan as it is known in the gaming industry), with e sports becoming popular in the gaming industry, a show that focussed on two teams in a best of three would be pretty cool and would fit in the half hour gap perfectly. now the games, gears of war? call of duty? i'll have to assess what's the most popular game and put out auditions for teams in the local area.



Based on viewings on a popular streaming site, twitch, I clicked on the top stream and there are 12,000 active viewers on this stream, with 16 million previous views and 39,000 subscribers on the stream, this shows popularity in this area and this is only one of the many streams with over 12,000 people actively watching


Another source that I want to relate to is an old tv show from the 90's called games world, this is a very aged corny show about e-sports in its infancy, i want to upgrade this by using teams and first person shooters, which seem to be the latest craze in the gaming industry





I was also thinking of having some commentators over the top to introduce the teams, give it a bit of backstory to the games and what is going on. Hypothetically this would help new viewers tuning in if this was on a network and or live stream if they were new to the game as the commentator would explain what is going on. For example, I watched the latest new japan pro wrestling pay per view but i didn't understand Japanese commentary in the previous ppv's so found it hard to immerse myself in the product. when they used english presenters, they explained all the latest story lines, who to like, who to hate, which overall enhances the experience.
