And why is TSM an L?

because they had a 10 million dollar sponsorship from them or something

And how is that an issue for TSM?
Actual W since they can return to just being TSM and keep the money that has already been given to them with the sponsorship

I dont think its all paid up front though, I think it was 10mil over X years but I could be wrong on that

and looking forward, now they need to find a sponsor to replace FTX, and their brand is not what it was when they signed that deal (pre Regi/DL public blowout + employee abuse and tax scamming)

Its actually worse for TSM than I thought:

The deal is for 10 years and $21 million per year (for a total of $210 million)

https://www.sporttechie.com/tsm-esports-signs-210-million-sponsorship-with-ftx-crypto-exchange#:~:text=The%20deal%20is%20for%2010,as%20part%20of%20the%20deal.

So they made a good chunk of money, but theyre also missing out on a LOT of money in the coming years if they don't find someone else that wants their naming rights for around that price

TSM aka “Truly Somewhat Mediocre” is a North American team that consistently underperforms in all international tournaments. It is specifically known for having a weak early, mid, and late-game.

Why u calling TSM an L. No one expected FTX to be like this. Sad for the people who lost money especially the small accounts who just started out.

just talking shit for the sake of talking shit, no one actually blames TSM for signing it

their L is the sponsorship money theyre not gonna get

They still got 21 mill out of it, so theyre basically gonna lose the money they never had (the rest of 210m deal)

Its an L for esports.

The scene is very unprofitable.
most orgs are now switching to a CC/clothing brand model which has proven to be very successful.

death of order? cause by lack of merch sales.

Teams like c9/100t/fnc all push their merch heavily and it pays well.

Its hard to rely on outside funding constantly, they need to start providing more revenue to show for it
