Esports as a New Professional Business

The rapidly developing esports or electronic industry promises professional career opportunities. No longer seen as a game, esport grew into a growing industry.

A market research and consultancy company specializing in the game and esports industry in Southeast Asia and China, 41 percent of the 266 million Indonesians are casual mobile or PC gamers. Revenues for online PCs and mobile games in Indonesia reached 606 million US dollars in 2018. That number is expected to increase to 1,156 million USD in 2022.

The President of the Indonesia Esports Association (IESPA) Eddy Lim explained, electronic sports (esports) in Indonesia had actually appeared since 2000. But when it was just a game, it had not become a sport — six years starting to develop into sports. Indonesia itself has hosted game matches at the 2016 Tavisa event.

“Esports is not just playing games, but brain battles, fighting strategies. Precisely the physical training needed to improve concentration,” said Eddy while speaking at the IEL Campus Seminar, Esports: Beyond Gaming at Maranatha University, Bandung, Friday, February 8, 2019.

He said, esports is a sport of the future. This sport develops by riding on technological advances.

Profession Other Than Players

According to him, the development of esports provides opportunities for new professions. Not only as an athlete and referee but explore the business side of esports. For example, being a game organizer event organizer, also to prepare for the production of game competition.

“We invite universities to form Esports SMEs to prepare their human resources. Esports is 30 percent talking about achievements, 70 percent about the preparation of human resources in the esports industry,” he said.

The business side of esports can be explored and studied through the UKM. “Esports start from a business. Because it is down from business, the business side is very thick,” said Eddy.

In this event, four speakers explained their career in the world of esports. They are Stanley Tjia as an international referee of Esports, caster, and influencer Clara Mongstar, PBIC 2012 World Champion, who is also an alumnus of Maranatha University August Urip Santoso, and Nixia founder and NXA-Gaming team manager Fram Shaw.

Deputy Rector III of Maranatha University Robby Yussac Tallar said games are the world of the millennial generation now. Like a knife, games can be used for both good and bad things.

“Not only playing games but also developing ourselves. This is not just a game,” he said.

He hopes students and young people generally not only play but also get to know all the ins and outs of esports.

“In the coming era, everything is virtual and digital, and it’s your world,” he said.

Prize of IDR 1 billion at the 2019 University Series IEL competition

He expressed his pride for the success of the Maranatha University team, which became one of 12 universities in the 2019 Universities Series IEL competition.

MIX 360 ESPORTS, as a business entity with a commitment to developing the esports industry in Indonesia, is currently working on various initiatives to build the esports ecosystem in the country, starting from fostering professional athletes and caster esports seeds, to preparing quality esports team management. One of the first steps was by launching the 2019 IEL University Series.

Ministry of Youth and Sports (KEMENPORA) supported the 2019 IEL UNIVERSITY SERIES which is the first official and famous esports competition for university-level in Indonesia, (KOI) Indonesian Olympic Committee, the Federation of Indonesian Community Recreational Sports (FORMI), and (IESPA) Indonesia Esports Association. This competition was also approved by (AeSF) Electronic Sports Asia Federation, which later will become part of the official local university league under the auspices of the IESPA.

“To develop esports, it must first start from changing the traditional paradigm of parents and educational institutions towards esports,” said MIX 360 ESPORTS Chief Operational Officer Harry Kartono.

In the IEL 2019 University Series season 1 event, as many as 12 selected campuses were ready to send representatives to win. One of them is Maranatha Christian University.

Is It True That Stock Investment is Profitable for Young Entrepreneurs?

As someone critical and intelligent, of course, the truth of a statement needs to be examined. How about you?

Have you ever gotten a call from telemarketing or anything that promises to be profitable? I think almost everyone has gotten a call like that.

But if I invite you to invest in shares, do you want to? If you immediately want it just because I asked him, it means you are not investing in stocks, but investing in my trust. And that is the wrongest and problematic thing: trusting something without researching it first.

Alright back to the question of the title of this article, “Is it true that investing in stocks is profitable?” Too bad, the answer is no. Precisely: not always!

In this article, apologize without intending black campaign or entrusted promotion, examples of shares that have proven to make investors profitable, and examples of stocks that have proven detrimental will be displayed. But remember! This is not a recommendation for you so that after reading this article to buy or sell these shares, this is just a fact.

If I mention Krakatau Steel, do you know? Krakatau Steel is the largest steel producer company in Indonesia. Do the stocks benefit the investor? Let me give a price chart.

How to assess the benefits of owning this stock? Yes, it can be answered by looking at the first time this stock was on the stock exchange to this day, stock investors from Krakatau Steel always lose regularly. Let me take the example of other companies.

Do you know Unilever Indonesia? A consumer goods company that produces a lot of products that are used daily. I can hardly believe that there are people in Indonesia who have never been in contact with one of Unilever’s products. Is it profitable to own the shares? Here is the price chart.

Obviously, from the growth in prices, Unilever’s stock investors benefit. Do not stop there. It turns out there is an interesting story if we want to study the movement of stock prices that are profitable for us, for example, Unilever in its past.

Unilever Indonesia (UNVR) listed on the stock exchange in 1982 for Rp 3,175. Let us illustrate by buying one lot (500 shares) in 1982. In 1989, UNVR gave 6: 1 bonus shares, which means that each has six shares will get one bonus. Then, 500 shares will be 583 shares earlier. In 1993, UNVR again distributed bonus shares at a ratio of 66.88: 1. Then, we will have 592 sheets.

In 2000, UNVR conducted a stock split of 1:10, i.e., everyone share became ten shares. So that, 592 sheets to 5920 sheets. In 2003, UNVR returned to stock split 1:10. Thus, our current number of shares is 59,200 shares. Let’s try to calculate how much dividend you got in 2014.

How much capital do you buy UNVR 1 lot? IDR 1,587,500 In 2014, UNVR distributed a dividend of Rp 701 per share, meaning that the total dividend for shares owned was 59,200 x Rp 701 = Rp 41,499,200. So what percentage is the profit of having UNVR shares without having to sell the shares? 2,614 percent!

Is it profitable to own shares? From this article, the picture is clear that wrong in choosing stocks will make us fall into losses.

The importance of learning how to choose profitable stocks is the need to invest knowledge in yourself, such as by reading a book or learning from various sources.

It is true. There are various controversies from the failure of large companies, as I demonstrated in this article. I discussed examples of other stocks that were not successful in my sixth book, titled Bandarmology: When all shares have a bookie.

Investment is like choosing and developing a duck that has a golden egg. It requires patience and sufficient knowledge to succeed — greetings for investment in Indonesia.
