FaZe out of WESA

Hey–whaddya know? That rumor about FaZe wanting out of WESA wasn’t just a rumor, after all. Definitely found the topic for the lowercase esports podcast tomorrow.

Esports lawyer dude Bryce Blum just had his own overview of WESA based on today’s news published over at ESPN. I’m reading this right now, but from a cursory glance it doesn’t appear to contain any new information. Blum’s write-ups are always worthwhile to read, if for no other reason than a legal perspective from someone that actively represents parties in esports.

TLEP #037 – Miscommunication Internationale

There might be a potentially bullshit report of FaZe paying a $50k USD penalty in order to leave WESA floating out there in the ether at the moment, but I recorded today’s podcast covering the GameSpot interview before that report came out. Internet cool person Rob Crossley totally nailed it in his coverage of the WESA press conference. In today’s episode, I go through some of the details of what surfaces in an interview conducted after that press conference.

Podcast information will always be available on the podcast index.

TLEP #036: A DOOMed Sequel To The CGS?

I feel particularly stuck in a rut, lately. Here’s a somewhat accurate description of how that feels, thanks to Bill Wurtz:

I didn’t feel super confident about recording this episode of the podcast because I didn’t pay attention to esports this weekend since I was playing the single-player campaign of DOOM and hooooooooooo boy it is the fucking truth, friends.
