lpkanereports of my demise are greatly exaggerated
and then later...
lpkaneto be clear, and as i said last time this was brought up, a few companies have been interested in buying us recently, no done deals though and i'm in no rush
and even if ESEA is eventually sold, you can rest assured knowing any agreement will grant me an irrevocable lifetime black account with banning rights 8)

well if lpkane doesn't seem to think taxes are certain maybe the IRS is gonna get its own paid e-sports league pretty soon?
anyone else who gets it would probably drop tf2 like a sack of rotten potatoes

This is pretty end of an era. Future's looking kinda uncertain lest we get some confirmation of TF2's survival from our new diversity overlords.

I mean even if ESEA is losing money on tf2 couldn't they just cut prize pools rather than dropping it all together? (iirc tf2 is only like 1k in the red)
tf2 does bring, even if not a significant amount, exposure/money to esea and it seems silly to leave that on the table

I wonder if valve will want to host their own csgo tournaments rather than MTG running them all, assuming the rumors about them buying dreamhack are true as well.

This will definitely affect TF2, but only if we don't show our enthusiasm for them keeping us as part of their league.
This is also an opportunity to promote changes we want to see within the league, preferably small stuff
