Wax, "Clauf" is a compound word formed by the combination of "cloud" and "roof"

Hope that clears things up.

Also, if you take the last f away it sounds like "Klau" which is German for "steal".

Hope that doesn't clear things up.

And "lauf" means walk and "auf" means out.

Hope that ... what?
I think esports is pretty nice.

You say Clauf has been transparent about its vision, but nobody knows what Clauf is, so that's obviously not the case. Why don't you repeat here what Clauf's vision is? And no, a fancy graphic with "community", "media", "players", "teams", and "esports solutions" on it doesn't count as a vision.

What is Clauf's vision?
What are you doing for Clauf? Casting? Running tournaments? Hosting a show?
Where does Clauf's money come from? Investors?
What is Clauf's business model?
How is Clauf different than AZUBU?

I'm not against Clauf, I just want to know what on earth it is.

FrodaN!!! The main man from SD who truly started from the bottom and made his own way. You were kind in your response that every caster has worked hard to be at the top -- not universally accurate, but you truly have. But not only that, you were the proof that newblood who did bust their butts, and had talent, could make it into the old-boys-club. And you were also proof that if you do it right, the risk of quitting everything to follow your dreams can be successful.

You're a genuine, good, kind, selfless person, which can be rare in the A-list of eSports. Germany is quite a ways from your roots here in SoCal, but I wish you the best in your goals and pursuits. Hopefully one day we'll have you back to cast another local SCES tourney.

I know you're kinda bound by your new employers for now, but I do eagerly anticipate what CLAUF really is, where it comes from, and why it has such a kooky name.
Saving SoCal eSports one sponsor at a time: MSI, JINX, Tt eSPORTS, HyperX, Red Bull ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I should have clarified that then -- They have been transparent when they approached me. All those questions I have asked. It's not like I jumped into this blind.

Sorry that I don't have the answers for you, mate

What I can assure you is that we won't be silent about what we're doing like 6pool Gaming who did good stuff but never got off the ground
