With the appearance of LAN-Parties in the late 90s in Switzerland, the enthusiasts of competitive gaming came up. Over many years Switzerland had a healthy and active LAN-event landscape, which consisted out of events from 50 up to a couple of hundreds of players.
Almost every weekend gamers had been fighting for prices, trophies and honor at tournaments played on BYOC-Events (Brin Your Own Computer). The tournaments in disciplines like Counter-Strike, Warcraft 3, Quake and even Blobby Volley where the foundation of a healthy and growing e-sports community, which also started to spread over the Internet.
Aside of countless exciting tournaments those events where the source of new talented players in various disciplines. With the mass deployment of broadband Internet and focus on Online-Competition the LAN-Events lost a lot of attention over the past few years.?;
?; Even though those event still take place on a regular basis, the attention is not as much as it was in the early years. This complicates it to sell tickets and get support from Sponsors.
The board of the Swiss E-Sports Federation (SESF) is still convinced, that a healthy and active LAN-Party Community is crucial for electronic sports. That’;s why the role of the “;SESF LAN-Ambassador”; has been created. The “;SESF LAN-Ambassador”; will build relations with the LAN-Organizations and help them to get more attention from the community and Media as well as to support them in all areas of their activity.
We are happy that Benjamin Kury will join the board at SESF and take over this important role in the organization.
