Swiss game developer Giants Software announced this week its Farming Simulator League, a 10-tournament esports program that’ll kick off later this year with €250,000, or $284,000, in prize money.


https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/01/25/e-i-e-i-esports-newest-competitive-video-gaming-league-is-farm-simulator/?utm_term=.06dc35af8595

I’m in the process of forming a team to try and enter this tournament. I have a good amount of PTO saved for work, and may even be allowed to take off more time than that. I feel like it’s my destiny and I should do whatever it takes to conquer this league.

While I’m in the top 1% of FarmVille players, this game is something different. It’s more of a true simulator. I need to start practicing now. I also need two teammates, and ideally a coach to lead us.

For a coach, I’m not looking necessarily for an expert at this game or even a gamer at all. We will need a people leader. Someone like a retired basketball coach who grew up on a farm.

For my teammates, I need guys who can obviously game, have a ton of time on their hands, and aren’t addicted to other games. It’s not going to be easy to find. I have a lot of connections in FarmVille, but honestly the FarmVille talent is pretty lacking.

I also want to monetize this journey by getting a film crew to follow us. Think of Cool Runnings meets Fyre Festival. I’m calling Netflix tomorrow to see if they’re interested.

And finally, I’m going to need some investment. I know this place is filled with OT Ballers. If anyone would be willing to sponsor, let me know. For $25,000, we will put your company’s 3 inch by 3 inch logo on our team jerseys. Believe me, with how many people will watch these tournaments, our documentary, news pieces etc... you are getting your money’s worth.

I read all of your ridiculous FarmVille troll posts. I think that makes me somewhat qualified.

I grew up on a farm, do a little farming myself and play my share of Farming Simulator. I’m not a fan of FS 19 though. I suck compared to the youtubers though. My OCD slows me down.

I can’t plant crops on maps that don’t have the right climate and I can’t handle all of the European equipment and only buy stuff sold here which hampers me.

I honestly can't tell if this is a very well done troll, or if legit. I've never played Farmville, or even seen it played......frick it I'm in.

I'm waiting for Operator Simulator League. The OT Team would make some money.

Yeah, I need to ask him if we need separate this out - 1 thread for money board, 1 thread for movie/tv board, 1 thread for gaming board, and then 1 thread to stay on the OT for general discussion about this.

This is good to know. I’ll make a mental note that no OCD is a requirement to make the team.

My nephew has an Xbox and he only plays farming simulator on it. He’ll spend hours plowing even when it can be automated.

I’m sending him this and want half if it pays off.

Coach or player? Either way, I will need to know more about you.
