Boise, Id and surrounding areas.. I would like to invite you to Barcraft Idaho's third free event. (minors welcome)

Awesome. I should be able to make it. I'll send you a PM later about bringing some stuff.

Is this Sunday at 11:30am? Or is that just when the games start? I'm in Washington for school right now, but I'm heading down to Boise this weekend to visit my family. If the event started early I'd love to attend.

I'm also the guy behind GLHF Apparel and I'd love to bring down some shirts for a giveaway or something. Who would be the best person to contact about that?

It's great to see a Boise barcraft. I'd love to put together one myself through GLHF Apparel when I get some more free time.

Thanks! I was quite proud of how the website turned out. We just released a new shirt today and so that on top of classes will keep me busy for a while. Looking forward to doing more for the community though.

I love this post. It's great that you were able to combine two things you are passionate about and get such positive feedback from the community. I encountered a similar incident when I designed the Artosis Pylon shirt for me and my brother and then sent an extra to Day9 earlier in the year. I was so amazing to see so many people appreciate my design and get excited about it. Like you said, it was one of the greatest nights of the year for me. Since then I've been able to start GLHF Apparel and I hope to keep following my passion for design and hopefully use my abilities to grow eSports.

I've also been thinking, and your post has only furthered my resolve, about offering my skills as a designer to others looking to grow eSports. I'm sure there are plenty of people looking to do something fun for eSports that they're passionate about and they could use a designer to further their project. I love that people are passionate about these things and I want to see more collaboration of talents to build eSports. Gonna try and post something soon in /r/BuildingEsports/ offering design help once I get caught up in some of my classes.

Great post. We need more people following their passions and using their skills to build eSports.

Swarm love anyone?

Thanks :) I liked that design a lot when I finished it. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know the particulars, but I err on the side of caution with anything copyright related - especially after the drama earlier this year.

Thanks nihilist. I agree about the joke shirts too, and I want to avoid those for the most part in favor of "iconic and badass." I don't have anything to preview for a Terran shirt right now, but I'm thinking about doing a whole "making of video" that shows my design process from sketch to final graphic. If you'd be interested in that you can follow on twitter and I'll post little updates there.

Hey, glad you asked. As of now, we've only been live for 3 days, so we haven't had much of a chance to do much eSports promoting. I would love nothing more than to sponsor some tournaments or pros, put together some StarCraft videos for beginners, help other eSports causes, etc. Like I said, we've only been live for 3 days. There are a lot of things we would like to do to promote eSports, we just have to see if we'll be able to.

Yikes, thanks for catching that. Probably left over from when I was first putting together the site. Should be fixed now.

davefp · 3 months

Thanks! :D

I'm glad you like my designs. I have 4 or 5 others on the back burner I'm excited to get feedback on. It's great to see people like my work :)

I know upvotes don't equal sales. I got a lot of emails from people who wanted the design without the text and decided to oblige them. I've already filled enough orders where it was worth it to me and I've had fun doing it. I'm just happy doing something I love and we'll see what happens in the future.

ariviom · 3 months

I agree. We've all found something we love doing and even if it isn't a huge success, we're having fun and contributing to eSports. Even if it ends up only being a little bit, we at least have to try.

ariviom · 3 months

Thanks chococosby. I saw some of your designs before you launched the store. I love the DT shirt and you can expect an order from me when those are available.

I loved what Day9 had to say about BMing at the end of that daily. It was great too because I just finished writing this.

ManES57 · 3 months

Glad some people still like it! I'm excited to hopefully see my little operation grow and do some more stuff for eSports.

ManES57 · 3 months

It seems like there were two camps when it came to this. Half the people liked the text and the other half disliked it.

jwhite927 · 3 months

Glad you like what we have to say :) We'd love to grow and spread this message.

I've started GLHF Apparel after all of the interest and support I received over the pylon shirt I sent to day9 earlier this year. I'm really excited to be more involved in the eSports community and I would love to start doing things like hosting small tournaments or sponsoring pros or even doing some casting for beginners. Thanks to everyone who was supportive of me in starting this little operation and I really hope you like what you see!

Sure thing. Go to pylonshirt.synapsory.com and send me an email using the link at the bottom and I'll let you know when they're available.

I made the shirt and I'm still planning on selling it without the text (if you're interested). I'm hoping to be able to take orders by the beginning of February.
