New structure for ITB socials. Enables us to better curate content and engage with specific fan-bases without overwhelming on one Twitter. Moreover, they'll have different sponsors and funding based on game rules, etc. Appreciate all the support thus far :) T1 org soon I hope.

Alternatives we looked at that either didn't quite work or we couldn't get because we're a smaller org/reasons: BlameF, JKS, Konfig, Rigon, Dycha, Redstar, SDY. Of course, we were too late on the draw with Jkaem, also. I think everyone's settled in the right place though.

If anyone is wondering how @cyphercsgo_ became so good so quickly, he sadly didn’t know he could play without squinting until @Juve_csgo informed him that he can use 100% of his vision by opening his eyes. A blessed moment.

@GrimyRannarr Limited options that fit his calibre of play, him joining was contingent on another player joining who was also vital for skill ceiling + sponsor KPIs. So he was our star rifler, drew other players we wanted in and had the social/geo reach we needed for new sponsor.

@ITBesports @RuddyCorp @SlayTheMinotaur Update: A source reached out to Esports News UK after the publication of this article, saying the sponsorship breaches the ERL rulebook. Specifically, pages 62/63, which state that ‘any other esports team, owner, or affiliate thereof’ is a prohibited sponsor.

Seeing a lot of 'underinvestment' replies to this. A big issue is that players misunderstand what their actual value is. Your value to an org is NOT results. It's the visibility you can give to sponsors. You can be an INCREDIBLY mid team with a big audience and get a great org.

Am I just a grinch when I see no point in this? Why does esports need the Olympics exactly? There’s already so many established ways to showcase talent that aren’t run by dribbling technophobes who probably still type ‘big boobs porn’ in Google to get off.
