I'd also be very suprised if hadn't had more offers so this should even be a descent offer for him I am sure, nevertheless I'm happy to see Idra get sponsored for sure  | ||

Edit: And their website does not hold a few people clicking on the news. | ||

Yeah that's what I meant. I understand what eMG is supposed to do in theory, but I have a hard time imagining how that works in practice. | ||

I guess that might also mean we'll see Idra more often on Meta? | ||

People look at Geoff and generally recognize his name, face, and personality rather than his excellence as a player, and I expect Greg to take on a similar perspective. Not to detract from either of them as professional gamers, but I'm sure both would agree that their exposure in the realm of eSports is mostly derived from the person behind the name instead of the person behind the keyboard, so to speak. It makes sense to capitalize on that. | ||

Imagine you are a company that want to put some money into esports. Instead of picking representatives yourself, you hire eMG to do that. + You get someone to do your work who might actually have a clue about the scene and picks (hopefully) the best representatives for you. - They take money for their work (surprise) Imagine you are a esports persona who looks for sponsors. Instead of looking for yourself, you make a contract with eMG to do that. + eMG might have better contacts so you get better deal, or deals at all - They take a cut from the sponsors money That is the theory, if that actually works with eMG, I don't know. Depends on their contacts really. | ||

Add to that the fact that Idra said he wanted to go more into casting direction, I think it means we've just gotten ourselves an excellent analytical caster who's going to more events due to being helped by eMG to get more gigs. Good for Idra, good for eMG, good for us | ||

”I’m very excited to start working with eMG. I look forward to seeing what we can do together as i begin my career as an eSports personality,” said Fields If IdrA hasn't been an eSports personality already then I have no idea what does that even mean. | ||
