Why do i have to choose between 2 (or 3) great persons about
who is the more accomplished person for the esports community?
Faults like this can happen. Nobody has to overreact that much.
Keep up the good work all and make things happen in the future like you
did in the past.

I have literally spent 2 hours going through Genna's original post, Her blog announcing her retirement/showing Take's messages that were posted and listening to TotalBiscuit's soundcloud recording on her decision. I am officially informed. Interesting, but petty in the big picture and is being blown way out of proportion. Clearly the community was starved for drama since the SlayerS situation was the last actual thing to happen that made such a splash.

To me, this sounds like Genna really has had too much on her plate as a person to manage a team in the first place. It is clearly noted that she is a "CEO of 2 businesses and a mother", while TB also states in his soundcloud that she has been diagnosed with clinical depression. I understand mental health being diagnosed with general anxiety disorder earlier this year with a prescription which has helped majorly to get rid of the disorder. However, the constant throwing around that "I am a mother and a CEO of 2 businesses is an excuse bottom line. Do you think successful CEO's and business personalities go around telling other CEO's their personal info on why they were unable to get something done, and or follow up? What she does day to day is clearly a busy schedule, but if you can't handle it, then Genna you've made the right move to get out of eSports. We're finding out more and more that it really is not nearly financially stable as we think or will be any time soon. I think the decision you made in not sending Axiom to ATC was the right one, and as you stated to Take, you can't risk financial instability for the sake of getting your team there, especially when top prize didn't even cover the cost to get there, all-in, in the first place. So kudos for that.

The second part of this whole situation I do understand is the response from Take, seeing his private emails and Skype conversations aired out to the entire community. This is not something that the community should be seeing. It's just asking for a sh** storm. Instead, it simply could have been handled by a blog post without the private conversation/email posts, or a tweet saying "Axiom will not be able to attend ATC due to unfortunate financial circumstances, we apologize to our fans." Why the posts of private information that was expected to remain so? Take took offense to this because people like me look at this and say why are you trying to discredit ATC and ATC only for which really is just as much a mistake of yours as is theirs. Sure, they didn't email you directly, that is a big mistake. But to not hear anything for months, and not even confirming travel arrangements to begin with is completely your mistake in not following up, when surely (being a team in the financial situation you were in, according to TB's soundcloud) would have been in the back of your mind throughout those months?

I wish you luck with less on your plate Genna. You deserve a schedule you can handle, and maybe just handling Cynical Brit's channel and going back to the way things were before Axiom will only benefit you.

Shoutout's to TakeTV for epic SC2 content as well. I hope this doesn't bog down the greatness that is the SC II community for days and weeks to come.

Dennis : but before a team is not coming i really wanna help and even willing to pay some of my money into it thats why i ask i just try to find options

Genna : I'll have to talk to John about it to see if we have anything leftover from our sponsor pool for the month.

Oh and Fuck Take by the way"

Take offers to help them with money and this is what he gets.really do not know why the genna-tb couple feels they ar emore entitled than anyone else in esports.


Take threatened legal actions against her. That's what prompted the fuck Take not the tournament.

He hoped. He wasnt threating legal actions agaisnt her.

It's confusing. I didn't realize that TB and axiom suffered so much negative publicity before they released the chat logs. I vaguely get the sense that they might be eyeing an exit between this and the "no events" tweet. Very peculiar twist to try and frame this as "making it open source". Actually in the sound cloud, he is really hinting at an exit.

I think they want an excuse to quit SC and maybe move back to only their business or another esport.

Ah what a waste. Still like/will consume both party's content.

Wait, TB said she's had to deal with "clinical depression to the point of suicidal thoughts"?! If that's the case, she definitely cannot be handling this well, I can't imagine how painful this thing would be for her to be accused of or to deal with...

I can see why Dennis may get angry over publicly released private conversations, but the sympathy of the community will definitely goto Genna + TB, and we all know the community follows their hearts in most issues so... things don't look too great either way.

In the end, the thing I'm most worried about is Genna's mental health being able to recover from this team management and stuff... gl Genna.

Sad to hear this. It's unfair that such misfortunes happen to people who have done the world of eSports a great amount of good.

Would be a shame for all their players tbh. They're a good bunch.

One does not run a team (business) with copy pasting private conversations.
One does not quit for minor obstacles and mistakes.

This sucks for everyone. I'm sympathetic to Axiom, but I don't think there's any way they can justify posting private conversations. The whole "We need transparency" thing TB has got going is honestly a bullshit excuse. Yeah, if you want to publicly show your teams economy etc, that's perfectly fine, but there's a clear limit where YOUR will to be transparant puts OTHER PEOPLE in shitty positions. You can't say "He just wants to save face" as an argument, it's a private discussion and you shouldn't post it without permission, and I'm not surprised Take would discuss legal measures, especially in an emotional state.

Axiom couldn't make it. Funds or whatever.
Take and Acer couldn't find the funds to help them out.
Therefore, Axiom couldn't attend. The shit that was on Twitter about them not attending was ridiculous "Herrr they're stupid why compete in a tournament you know you wouldn't be able to attend", like you know that this far in advance.
Genna made a mistake posting the content of the e-mails/conversations. However, as she's not German she's not really covered by the "all private conversations have some privacy thing attached to them" that German law has, so nothing can be done.
Take is angry, said angry things, now everyone is angry and we're in an infinite loop of hate.

It's sad. Everyone made mistakes here. Nothing generally illegal, but widely regarded as immoral.
I'm pretty confident that if people knew everything that went on in the games industry and the e-sports industry, a lot of people would laugh and leave.
I will reduce you to a series of numbers.

Huh, I didn't expect that. When I saw her blog post, with the chats, I just assumed she asked every party involved beforehand. I think she did a mistake and I get why Dennis and Acer are angry, but I don't think she has to step down. Well good luck Genna, maybe we will see her back.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
