[Philosopher]

I am writing on behalf of SEAcraftTV. SEAcraftTV is an oceania based e-sports broadcasting and production group, specializing in Starcraft 2 content. Our flagship broadcast, SEAcraft Weekly, is a Starcraft 2 tournament which is the largest weekly tournament of its kind in the South-East Asian region. We also run SEAcraft Melee, which is a SEA only tournament for up-and-coming talents in our region.


However due to some financial difficulties, I myself may not be able to contribute the $70 a week contribution that I have set myself. I am therefore reaching out to the community to ask for help. I was hoping that I would be able to get through this on my own, but with changes to my financial status, and Rent, Food and other things that have priority at the moment, I no longer have the comfort of being able to support SEAcraftTV. Therefore I am reaching out to the community.


SEAcraft Weekly has been running continually since May 2014, with a prize pool of $100, with the introduction of SEAcraft Melee which has a prize pool of $70. SEAcraftTV gives away almost $680 per month. We run both international and SEA only competitions changing the format each week. Our goal in this regards is both to foster growth in the South-East Asian Starcraft Scene as well as giving the chance for SEA players to prove their mettle against the best in the world. To date SEAcraftTV has given away over $3000 in prize money to its competitors.

The SEAcraft Weekly tournament also boasts an incredible participant list from local talents such as Exile 5's PiG, mYi'Blysk and IPT'EnDerr to international household names such as Startale'Life, Samsung Khan's Solar and Axiom'Heart. We have also had a chance to showcase some rising stars in the SEA and Chinese starcraft scenes.
SEAcraftTV would like to continue our success in this region, as well as globally. SEAcraftTV aims to become one of the largest and most well respected content provider in the SEA scene with links to an international audience.

As of now SEAcraft Weekly has been funded by myself and the generous weekly donations by Leigh 'Maynarde' Mandalov, SEAcraft Melee is funded by myself and Brandon 'Ronso' McGrath.

The question is, what can be offer our sponsors in return for their support? Since its inception, SEAcraft Weekly has had an average concurrent viewership of 157 per Weekly. We can offer to run advertisements for your product during the ad break of our tournament, as well as place your logo up on the stream at various times during the live-stream of the tournament.

Below is the average concurrent viewers for August, September, November of 2014 and January 2015


As you can see from the graphs on the next page, we on average are getting between 150-200 viewers for SEAcraft Weekly and we have reached over 300 on a few occasions. Our current aim is to make SEAcraft Weekly friendly, not only to competitors, but also to audience and to increase participation in both groups.
