More teens today play video games than traditional sports. Despite all this, most teens across the world don’t have access to structured amateur esports like they do traditional sports. Indeed, unlike traditional sports, there are no team-based rankings or recurring fixed-team leagues, resulting in an unsatisfactory experience. DAIGON is here to fix that. The mission of Daigon Esports is to promote the growth of Esports in international schools through the establishment of after-school gaming clubs, a competitive Esports league, and the International School Safe Queue. We want to provide the 2.3 million teens in international schools across the globe with the opportunity to participate in structured amateur esports. Especially since esports provides an incredible opportunity for international schools to promote the global exposure of their students and reinforce international competitions without the expensive and time-intensive travelling. My primary role in addition to providing support and experience to the management team is to deliver the platform for Daigon. This includes the learning management system for our after school clubs, our competition platform with the ability for schools to easily connect, view matches, communicate, share game information and report results. Putting into practice what I have learned over the 10 years at SchoolsBuddy we are building not only the platform but the backend system to enable improved onboarding and simplified automated billing.
