If you’ve ever wanted to run your own eSports or video game tournament, but weren’t sure where to start, this book gives you the blueprint from someone who’s actually lived it.

For over two decades, Marcel 'Cello' Torres has been in the trenches of competitive gaming. Long before eSports became a billion-dollar phenomenon, he was hosting packed events in New York City, building The Best in New York City Official Tournaments (BIN) back in 1999.

From the N64 era onward, while growing up in the shadow of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, he hosted tournaments for Smash, Mario Kart, and Street Fighter helping to build communities and shaping the grassroots foundation of the competitive gaming scene we know and love today.

After stepping away for a time, he returned in 2019 to find a totally new landscape and rebuilt from the ground up. New venues, new tech, a global pandemic, and the shift to online brackets didn’t slow him down. Instead, he evolved, running international events and proving that great tournaments are possible anywhere when you understand the fundamentals.

Now living in a new state and still pushing the craft forward, Cello distills 20+ years of real experience into a clear, practical guide for new and aspiring Tournament Organizers. Whether you want to host a local bracket, start a community, or turn your passion into a long-term venture, this book gives you the essential knowledge, mistakes to avoid, and battle-tested systems that actually work.

If you’ve ever dreamed of building something meaningful in gaming, this is your head start.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
