I also just wanna wish TBgood luck because he has a channel to run but now also a full team to manage. That must be very difficult but if anyone could do it, it's probably you. Good luck.

this seems silly and I don't think Take has any legal basis for any action.

The information revealed in those chat logs does not constitute a strong case for defamation or violation of privacy law. Perhaps it would be serious if a contract was drawn up between both parties clearly forbidding public disclosure of any conversation between said parties. Otherwise any faint hint of legal action is just bullshit.

You know why this scene is such a mess? Because it's riddled with incompetence and dishonesty. Gennas first duty was to the team, that means damage control, that means showing our side of the story and that means minimizing how slammed we got because the statement that was put out threw Axiom under the boss while saving face for ATC, regardless of poor communication and mismanagement that event suffered.


I agree, but I feel like she didn't need to post the chat logs to achieve this end, she could have told the story without giving out the logs, or at the very least asked Take if she could post them.


Wait. If TaKe is the proverbial straw, since that seems to be the metaphor of choice, why would she talk to him first?

Wow, I thought you at least notified or moreover got permission from Dennis to post the private conversations you had with the taketv admins/crew. It's professional courtesy let alone etiquette not to air private behind the scenes matter to the public without the other parties agreement.

Genna, I think you screwed up.

Looks like this backfired on Take pretty hard lol. Genna and TB don't need esports. They do JUST fine without it. Trying to go after someone so aggressively when you have more to lose than they do is fucking retarded.

TB's reaction to someone threatening to legally pursue his wife is absolutely justified. What would you do - NOT support the women you love and is married to? Come on...

Despite whatever may be the issue you have to realize that threatening with a lawsuit is a 100% sure way to make enemies. If you expect otherwise then you're not very bright.

I like transparency and I have no doubt that there is a lot of immature childish shit going on in e-sports. We can probably find a lot of other profiled people who share that opinion.


Since when is wishing threatening?

edit to clarify: He even said he only wishes that it was punishable.

If someone told you they wished you weren't alive, you wouldn't take that as aggression?

Being unprofessional and saying you're "lifting the veil of e-sports" still means you're unprofessional.

Also as if she WONT be still running things its a massive drama whore/ego trip and a way to punish Take a guy who has done an incredible amount off his own back for this community over a private disagreement.

The reason these things stay private is because they should be between the parties interested just because you can muster more fans and angry reddit pals doesn't make you more right and posting private conversations on a public blog is pretty disgusting.

Its pretty fun watching you get a good chunk of power in this community for you and now your wife so you can just abuse it at your whim to bandwagon against a guy who has been nothing but solid in this community.

Jenna I am not sure why you are stepping down for something this minimal, you are fantastic as the owner of Axiom but as an owner you will have people who want to throw hard balls at you and try to create inside drama that you don't want to have to deal with but have to. This is one of those things, did TaKe say this conversation is confidential and in no way can be discussed outside of the 2 of you? I really doubt he did as it would be in the transcript, seems he is over reacting and this is one of those things you try to smooth over in time.

As an owner you will deal with this type of stuff more often you have to not take things as personal and be tough, TB is a perfect example of this and I would think he would have a strong opinion on the situation which I am sure you both discussed before making this decision.

I feel like more is not being discussed because you can't be sued for a skype chat.

I wish you the best but I honestly see Axiom hitting some hard roads ahead as TB already has way to much on his plate.

Fuck Dennis. If he wasn't so concerned about saving face rather than being honest with everybody about his mismanaged tournament then some of this might not have happened. When you say "I hope there are legal consequences for what you've done" all bets are off, I lose any respect I've had for you. I hope Take enjoyed the free casting and the numbers, I'll never deal with him and his organisation ever again.


Oh that is so mature TB. I really agree witht you on most topics but you can't see that everyone made a mistake in this situation? You just trying to shitstorm him now... "classy".
To post privat discussion openly in a forum is a big no-no even if you don't want to see it his way. The lawbullshit by take it obviously just angryman talking and not smart either.
So everyone looses.

He's always causing shit storms.

what did take do?


Read Genna's previous blog for the backstory.

A TL;DR version is required... her blog is so long. Hopefully I'll remember to read it over the weekend. Then my opinion will change. But for now.. :S


So the TLDR version is this. Axiom committed to the ATC, but there were some communication issues regarding travel support. Axiom's budget couldn't support flying Axiom to the event due to WCS expenses, and the money provided by Acer wasn't enough to make up the difference. TaKe stepped in to try to find more money from Acer to help teams attend but wasn't able to make it work for Axiom.

Genna posted all of this in a blog, supported with emails and Skype logs between Axiom management and people involved with the ATC. TaKe, apparently, took offense at that and threatened legal action.


Yeah before the legal action, I wouldn't have had an opinion. The legal action, otoh, just rubs me the wrong way. I feel like there's more than was included in the length blog post. Despite the posted logs, I imagine there's still more we aren't privy too.

Oh boy. I think you and your girlfriend need a lesson in public communication. Even if you feel this way, You should exercise some restraint in how you convey your thoughts, not that this is anything new from you. Take has done nothing but awesome things for the community, and now you and your girlfriend are both blowing things out of proportion, as well as dragging other parties through the mud to try save face.

What is the point of this blog? I think the mature course of action would be to quietly pass off the responsibility and do as you please if you want out. Whether you were treated unfairly or not, this is not the professional and adult way to do things. It feels like a manifestation of ego - trying to get attention as you go. That's not to say the post isn't 500x more mature than what most people here would do in your position. It's not bad - it just seems unnecessary and tending more towards creating drama than keeping the best interests of everyone involved in mind.

I guess what i'm trying to say is that even though this blog isn't atrocious, it's not ideal.

Yeah man we should totally just hug it out after he threatened my wife and the team with legal action.

Is this the first time you got threatened with legal action? My mom deals with that daily at her work with clients. Grow up. I got threatened with legal action and racism a couple days ago. You know what I did? I played it cool, stayed calm, and finished my transaction with the buyer.


News just in, eSports is not the same as working at a supermarket.

Apparently working in a real estate law firm is the same as working at a supermarket. Hmm.... Last I checked my common sense, real estate is much larger than e-sports.

Uh... no. Everything was nice and settled, and then Take threatened to sue Axiom for posting chat logs which made him look like a wonderful human being. Genna has undergone ordeals throughout the past year that generate the kind of stress most people couldn't endure. No doubt this last incident was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Things obviously were not settled if Genna's previous blog revealed information that got TaKe in trouble with either the main tournament sponsor (Acer) or other teams...
