Team GAMECOM
To start the ball rolling, recruitment begins for GAMECOM's team support division. Targeting PC, XBOX and PS3 teams and players, GAMECOM has several tiers of sponsorship in which they hope they can give the widest reach of support to the community;
Sponsor Tier 1:
Teams in sponsor Tier 1 are Team GAMECOM players. Every member of Team GAMECOM is a fully funded player. Flights, Accommodation, Event fees, Uniform, Gaming gear etc are all looked after - and you even get your own manager!
Sponsor Tier 2:
Teams, LANS and Organisations in sponsor Tier 2 are GAMECOM partner teams. These teams are supported by GAMECOM with some funding, but mostly receive Plantronics GAMECOM gear and some other fringe benefits.
Sponsor Tier 3:
Teams, LANS and Organisations in sponsor Tier 3 are GAMECOM supported. This means GAMECOM will help them out with some free gear to give out at events and/or use.
