Anyone else here see this coming the minute you saw their studio set?

Poor Frodan. Poor Chance.

So, when do we see the next incarnation?


According to what Richard Lewis said on the latest episode of Live on Three, they are discussing two options for ESGN atm:
a) Get a new studio that is smaller and less expensive and basically try again.
b) Become a "TV channel" for Azubu.tv with 24/7 content.

So I guess either of those options will be the next incarnation. I just feel really really sorry for all those who were desperate enough to work in eSports to take a job with ESGN. I just hope eSports will eventually get to the point where shit like this will finally stop happening. I mean anyone could tell after 1 episode of Fight Night that they were spending way too much money.

Who wants to watch a 24/7 esports stream in the first place? I mean thats one of the great advantages of the internet with tons of streams, VODs etc to choose from - you can make your own tv programm without relying on some "TV" channel. Don't think such a concept will ever work out.


I dunno, but I still miss IPL running their content 24/7 with cycling events and repeats. I mean, sometimes I don't want to go looking for something to watch or listen to in the background, but I knew that they would just about always have something good running on their stream that I probably hadn't seen because of my work schedule. It's like TV - yeah, a lot of people can find what they want to watch via DVD/BluRay, streaming netflix, hulu, whatever... but when you don't have a specific show you want to watch, you can just turn it on and run through channels until you find something. You can almost do the same thing with Twitch in general, but the quality varies.

Yeah I kinda see your point, that would be an interesting topic for a market survey, how people behave in their media consumption these days.

How could this happen, I'm utterly shocked at this completely unexpected behaviour from ESGN. I thought they and clauf were so trustworthy and legitimate I just can't comprehend what could cause this turn of events.


Unbelievable right rofl XD
