I'm most worried about the good people we know went over there... maybe we'll see Frodan at ESL? And please, SOMEONE think of CHANCE!!

ESGN had put down quiet a bit of money for barely having a stable grounds when they started fight night... this shouldn't be a surprise unfortunately. but i do like their production, and i hope they can pull through this difficult time. glhf

This is where I have to come in as a new employee of the eSports industry and say, "Unfortunately payments here come late or not at all." reading through this article and the scam that it is, however... I must say I am thoroughly disgusted.

Weren't the guys behind ESGN basically the same guys that were behind Azubu?

Not they're backed by clauf, a mysterious company that has recieved a fuck ton of money from sapinda to invest into esports that is put into projects with seemingly zero ability to return profit. They're nothing like azubu a mysterious company that has received a fuck ton of money from sapinda to invest into esports that is put into projects with seemingly no ability to return profit.

Well Twitch just sold for $1Billion. Azubu might not have been a bad idea if they executed on it.

i think Kripp mentioned some random guy becoming the director or something. Dunno, doesnt seem they have the highest selection criteria for a lot of the jobs. It seems like a lot fo the companies in esports are suffering from a lot of financial difficulties so im not surprised.

Well that fizzled out earlier than I was expecting.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Actually, I have heard name esgn but I have absolutely no idea what they did. Did they host events?

If they have used so much money,maybe they should have used more to advertise their "product"

while this sucks for all the people who took job offers with them and took the time to go to thier events, everyone and there dog saw this coming a mile off
they had a massive glossy studio with high production values, well known casters ( some of which live in korea ie artosis) and big name players...
and then had something in the region of 2k viewers to show for it
considering thats the sort of numbers destiny puts up i doubt it was anywhere near enough to pay for thier costs
heck it even got called out on unfiltered a while ago ( the general consensus being where do they expect to make that money back from)
