Doctor Battles, a Revolutionary Esports Ecosystem, Announces Official Launch Party October 23, 2020
Doctor Battles, an esports ecosystem that rewards organizers and competitors for their engagement, this week announced after one-year in beta testing, they are officially launching their first public version of the app this September. With a launch party slated for October 23, 2020, Doctor Battles will broadcast the celebration on their website via YouTube.
Passionate about creating an engaging interface where esports organizers can create, host, and manage amazing events digitally, Doctor Battles features an advanced algorithm that helps players find the perfect teammates and more.
“We believe that the true potential of esports has yet to be realized, which is why we wanted to create an app that helps players dive even deeper into their passion,” said Bryan Ragin, Founder and Owner of Doctor Battles. “After a year of testing, we are so excited to be finally going public with our interactive concept.”
Additional Doctor Battles features include: advanced stats that are tracked on a global leaderboard system, a prize shop where players can redeem real-world prizes, a recruitment center, chat communities, and more.
Competitors only need to create one team per game category. For those wishing to join a competition, they simply need to go into the app, select a league or tournament, and click on the join button. If they do not hold a team for the platform, they will be asked to create one manually, or join an Auto Team (based on algorithm). Once done, they will be able to join the league.
Doctor Battles is available in a free and prime member package. For prime members, they can unlock some features, access a 25% discount on all products in the shop, access a 500% rate increase for winning weekly giveaways, and engage automatic VIP invites for all special events.

The KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival debuted in 2012 with 180 shows over five days in downtown Rochester, NY, and drew more than 33,000 attendees – twice what it had anticipated. Now a 12-day event (Tuesday, September 10 – Saturday, September 21), the 2019 Rochester Fringe will feature more than 575 performances and events, and organizers expect attendance to exceed last year's 78,000. One of the most-attended fringe festivals in the U.S., it is also the largest multi-arts festival in New York State.
“While all fringe festivals are reflective of their own communities, we’re proud of the fact that, to date, we are the only one that programs large-scale spectacle entertainment in public spaces,” says Festival Producer Erica Fee. “This is not only a unique experience for festival-goers, but it provides incredible access to the arts for our community at large.”
Beginning with California’s aerial dance troupe BANDALOOP dancing on the side of a 21-story building in 2012, Friday & Saturday on the Fringe has included the U.S. premieres of Canada’s Circus Orange and the U.K.’s Massaoke. This year, the festival will present the return of French street theatre company Plasticiens Volants(pronunciation here), which made its U.S. debut at Rochester Fringe two years ago with a show called "BIG BANG" to more than 20,000 enthralled audience members. On Friday and Saturday, Sept. 13 & 14, they’ll turn downtown Rochester into a giant aquarium with another U.S. premiere: "Pearl: Secrets of the Sea." Using their giant inflatable puppets, Plasticiens Volants’ two 8 p.m. performances will begin with a 20-minute street promenade, as sea creatures – including a 60-foot whale – “swim” to their destination at the City’s vacant Parcel 5. There, a dramatic story involving a gigantic sea serpent, an enormous octopus, and a precious pearl will unfold for audiences of all ages.
Another big factor in Rochester Fringe’s success: so many free performances and events in general – more than 150 this year. Those include Fringe Finale Weekend’s return of Massaoke. This year, the sing-along sensation will perform its signature rock-anthem show, "Massaoke: MixTape," on Friday, Sept. 20, and its "Massaoke: Night at the Musicals" show – the North American premiere – on Saturday, Sept. 21, the final night of Fringe.
The Spiegelgarden, a public, pop-up, outdoor lounge, will feature free KIDS DAY activities (Saturday, Sept. 21) and Pedestrian Drive-In – a free, big-screen film series that kicks off with a special showing of "RBG," the Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary. Other free Fringe favorites – including the exciting, all-styles dance battle featuring teams from all over the Northeast called Fringe Street Beat (Saturday, Sept. 21) and Gospel Sunday (the best of the Rochester gospel scene in the Eastman School of Music's Kilbourn Hall on Sunday, Sept. 15) – will also return. Many venue-curated performances and events are also free.
Turning to ticketed events, Fringe’s 2019 comedy headliner is award-winning comedian, actor, director and author Mike Birbigliain "An Evening with Mike Birbiglia" in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre on Friday, September 20 at 7:30 p.m. Fringe will also present Nate DiMeo’s The Memory Palace, a Peabody-nominated history podcast, in "The Memory Palace Live" at the Eastman School of Music's Kilbourn Hall on Thursday and Saturday, Sept. 19 & 21, as well as "The Memory Palace On-Site Listening Experience at High Falls," a free, site-specific show running throughout Fringe. Both events will feature a specially commissioned Rochester story.
New in the Cristal Palace Spiegeltent this year will be the fifth world-premiere comedy/variety show created especially for Fringe by Las Vegas masterminds, Matt and Heidi Morgan: "Cirque du Fringe: D’illusion." They'll also bring a brand-new "Shotspeare" show for late-night entertainment, this time a bawdy remake of "Macbeth." Another late-night Speigeltent sell-out, Silent Disco, returns, along with its equally popular, daytime edition: Disco Kids. This year, Fringe debuts Drag Brunch, featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants Mrs. Kasha Davis and Darienne Lake, in the Spiegeltent on Sunday, September 15.
A new Fringe partnership with Gateways Music Festival has resulted in "A Celebration of the Life of Paul J. Burgett Through Music" at the Eastman School of Music’s Hatch Recital Hall on Saturday, September 14. Burgett was a beloved board member of both organizations, and a driving force in the success of these and so many other wonderful community initiatives. Also new to Fringe this year: the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s 2019-20 season opener, "Scheherazade .2." Fringe is also partnering on special events with ImageOut: The Rochester LGBT Film & Video Festival and Rochester’s Puerto Rican Festival.
“We are – above all – a true community festival run by a Rochester non-profit with local board, staff and support, and each year, we work hard to engage more and more of the community we serve,” adds Rochester Fringe Festival Board Chairperson Justin L. Vigdor.
The vast majority of Fringe performances and events are booked by the venues themselves from applications received from shows during the spring submission process: The Avyarium, Blackfriars Theatre, Central Library of Rochester, Eastman School of Music, Garth Fagan Dance, George Eastman Museum, Geva Theatre Center, Java’s, Joseph Avenue Arts & Culture Alliance, The Little, The Lyric Theatre, Multi-use Community Cultural Center (MuCCC), Nox, RIT City Art Space, RMSC’s Strasenburgh Planetarium, School of the Arts, and Writers & Books. Additional site-specific venues this year are: High Falls, Memorial Art Gallery, Merriman Street (between Atlantic & University), Rochester Dance Theatre, UUU Art Collective, and Village Gate.
Information and tickets for all shows are now available via rochesterfringe.com. The printed Fringe Guide and app will be available in August.
From its five-day debut in 2012, the KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival has become one of the fastest-growing and most-attended fringe festivals in the U.S and the largest multi-genre arts festival in New York State. A bifurcated festival, it allows for a combination of curated, headline entertainment and an open-access portion programmed by the venues themselves. Renowned among the world’s 200+ fringe festivals for its large-scale, outdoor, free-to-the-public performances – including the U.S. premieres of Canada’s Circus Orange (2014), France’s Plasticiens Volants (2017), and the UK’s Massaoke (2018) – Rochester’s Fringe was also the first fringe festival in North America to feature a Spiegeltent, which is now an annual attraction. From comedy to theatre, from music to dance, from visual art and film to spoken word, and from children’s entertainment to multi-disciplinary collaborations, the festival’s diversity also extends to venues that span the gamut from parked cars to grand theatres.
Rochester Fringe Festival connects and empowers artists, audiences, venues, educational institutions, and the community to celebrate, explore, and inspire creativity via an annual, multi-genre arts festival. The not-for-profit, 501(c)3 corporation was pioneered by several of Rochester’s esteemed cultural institutions including Geva Theatre Center, the George Eastman House and Garth Fagan Dance; up-and-coming arts groups like PUSH Physical Theatre and Method Machine; and higher-education partners such as the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology. The organization’s overarching mission is to make arts readily accessible to audiences, as well as to provide a platform for artists to share their ideas and develop their skills, while stimulating downtown Rochester both culturally and economically.
Rochester Fringe Festival is made possible with support from New York State through Market NY/Empire State Development under the Regional Economic Development Council initiative. Other 2019 Fringe sponsors include: KeyBank; I Love New York; New York State Council on the Arts; University of Rochester; RIT; Rochester Area Community Foundation; Waldron Rise Foundation; City of Rochester; Ames Amzalak Memorial Trust; National Endowment for the Arts; Imagine Monroe; Estate of Marianne L.

Ask the Expert: Why Should I Consider Shaw Sports Turf for My Next Project?
With more than 3,000 successful installations, Shaw Sports Turf is leading the way toward a future where synthetic turf athletic fields outnumber natural ones. Given the versatility of different turf systems, they pride themselves on helping customers pick the best fit for their field throughout the entire process. As a former natural grass specialist, Philipe Aldahir has been on the other team. But now, as the company’s director of research and innovation, he knows turf deserves a chance to be king of the court. Here, Aldahir explains why turf may be the perfect fit for your next project.
Artificial turf has evolved as a system, and these days, the playability it offers can be comparable to natural grass. I don’t think high performance was a possibility with turf back in the day. Now it’s demonstrably better than what it was 10 years ago. Considering that and the functionality of artificial turf, it can’t be overlooked.
The number one thing to consider is the functionality of having a consistent field. If you think about your average municipal field, sportsplex, high school, or community center—if those fields are natural grass, they may not receive the maintenance they need to remain a good playing surface. Artificial turf offers a big advantage over those kinds of systems because it provides that consistency of play, instead of becoming a mudhole, weedy, or agronomically unsafe. If you have to grow grass, you’re at the mercy of Mother Nature, but with synthetic turf, the consistency is already there.
But not all turf is made to perform as well as Shaw Sports Turf. With Shaw, you can design turf systems with entry-level playability, advanced playability, or with world-class elite playability. The way you do that is by turning the knobs of the components you install—what type of subbase, underlayment, turf fiber, and infill. You can have extreme performance in artificial turf. Our professional teams gravitate toward those systems, and they play very close to natural grass.
I’m understanding and dispelling turf myths as I work in this industry. I used to be a natural grass specialist, and now that I’m on the other side with artificial turf, I’m learning a lot. When I was in natural grass, turf was an afterthought. It was there, but it wasn’t the focus. I think that has changed because the popularity and performance of the systems have increased greatly. We have been dedicating a lot of research, development, and innovation resources toward this. I don’t see it as grass versus turf anymore; I see it as grass and turf. They coexist.
