All I hope is that they resign Supernova because this guy clearly deserves a great team.

I bet it was the mighty Tumba who manage to secure this deal. And I guess this means that the boys does not have to hurry to pay their "agency" fees. That is good news.

If this is legit, that means they have big plans for esports.
Ok if they really did mean what the post below mine says then its only around $13,000 usd

I'm not sure how anyone could defend GEM, I'm sad I missed that discussion.

german article I found about the sapinda "owner". This dude got a lot of bad things going on in the past.
Too bad there is no translation available..


thanks, finally I got some insight where the money comes from, even though I do not understand why they would "invest" that into eSports.

Honestly doubt all of this. How do they see return on their 34 Million? Fuck Sundance doesn't even get loans this big lol. Honestly twitch is probably the only site that could return on an investment like this and even they would take a LONG time to do so with expansion taking a huge chunk out of profit. If they weren't officially shady then, they are now.

I love eSports. LOVE em. Went to every game I could while working in Korea.

...


......but you've got to be crazy to invest 10s of millions into it unless you are PASSIONATE about the game, and not ROI.

I doubt these folks are the former.

Whenever I read about anything related to Azubu or Clauf I always imagine some shady deals taken right out of House of Cards. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes here.
