My latest article. Here is an excerpt
"Without a union to delegate problems such as these for teams, teams will come and go, sponsors will come and go, and so will E-Sports. There is nothing stopping any organization from torpedoing another organization. An E-Sports union that openly address’ the concerns of teams, fans, players and sponsors and helps direct things in a positive manner would go a long way to smooth things over. This would allow for problems to be solved in a way that everyone involved benefits.
On top of everything, there is no governing body to say ‘this is right, this is wrong’. Different from a union in the sense that the union is more of a comity of the teams/sponsors/players/fans and presents their cases to this ‘governing body’; the governing body would delegate trades, sanction events, determine pro status’, delegate payment of prize money/salary and other things that are, as of now, left up to each individual to try and work out for themselves. E-Sports is an industry with no rules or regulations, anyone can do anything they please; a model which has not worked out that well thus far."
