ENCE outplayed themselves

Posted: 19 Jul 2018 08:22 AM PDT

ENCE Allu on the Minor system: " Instead of regional minors, just have one really big minor that advances teams to the Major, since some regions are stronger than others, to have the best teams at the Major."

Major winners should have a star(s) on their jersey

Posted: 19 Jul 2018 03:59 PM PDT

As is the case in football (soccer), everytime a team wins the world cup they add a star above the logo on their jersey. (Ex. France 2 stars, Brazil 5 stars). As the Majors are the World Cups of CS, I feel like that should be the case for CS teams. Would be a nice reward for teams (with the glory and the cash).

I'm Bryce Blum, founder of the world's first dedicated esports law firm, AMA!

Posted: 19 Jul 2018 09:26 AM PDT

It's been 2.5~ years since my last AMA on this sub. I don't have nearly as much time to post here as I used to, and I genuinely miss it. I'm prepared to spend most of the day answering questions, so fire away! Happy to cover legal/business issues related to CSGO, esports more broadly, my career, or whatever else you find interesting. For those who don't know me, I'll include some background below.


My Background: I founded the world's first dedicated esports law firm, ESG Law (https://esglaw.com/firm), where we exclusively represent esports-related clients. We have four attorneys and two law clerks, and work with about 25-30 esports teams (including 4 of the current top 10 in the HLTV rankings), major esports talent (mostly broadcast talent), and esports-focused businesses. We don't represent any active pro players for conflicts reasons.

I have a second full-time job at Catalyst Sports & Media (https://catalystsports.com/esports/), where I am an EVP and co-manage our esports advisory division. Catalyst serves as the bridge between traditional sports and esports, advising major sports teams and owners, brands, and investors on how to successfully enter and navigate the esports space.

I'm also fairly active on twitter and as a content creator surrounding legal and business issues facing the industry. I've written a wide array of op eds for ESPN and appeared on various esports talk shows, including a few episodes of Thorin's Esports Salon. Here are a couple recent examples of pieces that are pertinent to CSGO:


Proof: Confirming Tweet

Law Firm Website: www.esglaw.com


Sorry, longwinded/obligatory legal DISCLAIMER incoming: Generally, an attorney's advice is personal and individual, and the attorney owes that client certain duties under the attorney ethics rules. The following disclaimer is meant to help clarify my relationship those posting on this AMA, and to ensure I am complying with my ethical obligations.

Information exchanged in this forum does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not post any information that you consider to be personal or confidential. It is possible this post could be considered attorney advertising, but it is not my purpose to solicit an individual or group to become a client.

I will give only GENERAL legal information in this post. Specific facts, applicable law, and other considerations will always affect every circumstance, and thus you should always seek the advice of an attorney on every specific situation before moving forward. Also, please recognize that I may be unable to answer some questions because they are too specific, or because providing an answer may conflict with the interests of my current clients or my ethical obligations. In some cases I may have to decline to answer without providing a reason. I'm an American attorney licensed in Washington State. Prior results do not guarantee similar future outcomes.

The ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 is EXTREMELY sold out. If you have tickets please read this.

Posted: 19 Jul 2018 12:52 PM PDT

Hi everyone,

Apologies for the exceptionally poor grammar in the title. I wanted to pop in here and let you know that we have 'sold' an awful lot of tickets to the Premier, are no longer selling tickets, and are quite likely to have to turn people away at the door once we hit the 200 capacity. It will be first come first served, as stated at the ticket portal, and we will not be able to make exceptions as the capacity is determined by fire code.

I'll be around for the next couple hours to answer questions, please ask away. I should note that ELEAGUE's tournaments are in a studio, not an arena, and the experience is one of being in a studio audience rather than attending an esports event. That said, it's an audience watching the best CS:GO players in the world, but if you've been before you'll know what I mean.

High levels of breakage (people reserving tickets and not showing) is common for free events, and we are committed to being free. It means that a couple of times a year we guess wrongly at the breakage level and a small amount of people don't get in. This is heartbreaking for us as much as them, and it is possible that next weekend could be one of those situations. PLEASE SHOW UP EARLY.

How early I can't say. You want to arrive in the first 200 people. That is usually more than an hour, and less than 5 hours. 5 hours is a LOT to wait, but some people show very early. We can't stop that, sorry. Also maybe nobody will show up that early. Your guess is as good as mine.

Hopefully see you next weekend!
