This is huge. Afaik this may be the first demonstration of the serious viability of the esports sponsored team business model outside of Korean companies. Boss or unstable, I understand that you might not want to reveal specific info and that's fine, but I and probably others. Would be really interested to know - out of these new "esports traders", are the majority from inside or outside Korea? | ||

Be sure to know that the profit isn't exactly huge and the return over 2 years hasn't been one worth really mentioning. The fact is it doesn't exactly COST us money to do e-sports as we get a return. The time commitment is huge though.. And its relatively painful. | ||
