He had no right to name drop Mel right there. The repercussions for Mel are probably disastrous. There’s a reason she never spoke up abt these issues…
I mean orgs don’t work and act like you think they do man
Carlos wasn’t changed as a man after he was let go by g2
He always had those ideals in his mind
So the esports sphere is spearheaded by people like him and most of them do not want anything that would cause outrage if it hurts their image no matter what
And that’s not even accounting for the misogyny and bigotry in the circle either
orgs will get fans + merch sells just soley of having a girl on the team
i cheered for SHD every single match because i wanted geguri to do well
its pretty good for the brand, if the player is competent enough.
G2 had a GC team while carlos was still the ceo, why? because its good for the brand.
another example is potter, people cheered for EG because they had a female coach and fans want females to do well and succeed
The metrics don’t even come close to what you’re talking about man
G2 had a GC team because they’ve always approached esports as fast as they can
New esport? G2 already has a team
They know That Teams take time to build themselves that’s why they had a GC team
And I highly doubt with the amount of misogyny present in the brains of investors of these orgs, they’d spend the same salaries on a female player unfortunately :(
I want Mel to suceed as much as i can but I’m just saying things as i see them
I mean she did tweet was exactly opposite this i think right?
She shared the story about herself to the reporters i think
