PR TIMES

Streaming will begin for the new YouTube program "Fodekake!" as new regional revitalization content from the professional esports team "DetonatioN FocusMe" (@team_detonation).
"Fodekake!" is a program where players belonging to DetonatioN FocusMe visit local tourist spots and high schools for an esports exchange.
This "Fodekake!" program primarily has three concepts.

"Fodekake!" Program Concepts

1. Increase Attachment and Turn Liking Into Passion

To expand the range of player activities outside the competitive scene and create opportunities for many people to get to know the players themselves.

2. Support the Multi-Faceted Activities of Professional Gamers

Activities for players and streamers in the esports industry are often limited to specific platforms, but this content is intended to provide various opportunities for communication through the program and lead to future possibilities, such as a second career.

3. Regional Revitalization, Regional Tour, and Human Resources Education

Currently, esports events are primarily centered in urban areas, but this content aims to be created in partnership with local governments, local governments x educational institutions (high schools and vocational schools) x local businesses, along with esports fans across Japan.

"Fodekake!," which begins as new regional revitalization content, will feature four members—Nephrite (@Nephrite2), Buyuriru (@Buyuriru), Aim (@Aim_o_x), and Hamuppi (@Hamuppi_)—enjoying the charms of Shimane Prefecture over a two-day, one-night trip.
The players will convey the region's appeal by visiting famous places in Shimane Prefecture, such as Izumo Taisha Shrine, and Yunotsu Onsen at the foot of the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine World Heritage Site.
They will also visit Nanao Gakuen Masuda Higashi High School, a full-time high school that has an esports scholarship system, to coach students who aim to be the next generation of esports players.
At Masuda Higashi High School, the program plans to stream a heated exchange match between the DFM team and students belonging to the esports club, as well as an explanation of why the school focuses on esports.
"Fodekake!" will be streamed from Saturday, June 22, 2024, at 12:00 PM JST on the DFM Official YouTube Channel.
