Although these people served the company for years and helped the social platform grow from 200,000 to 25 million daily active users, they were laid off because the focus had shifted. BeReal COO Romain Salzman said that these staff members are deeply impacted by this sudden layoff because they worked under tremendous pressure and built the working platform for the users while growing it in 18 months. This year, the total number of employees at BeReal was 60, which has now decreased to 32.

The spokesperson of Voodoo said that they want to focus on BeReal’s growth in a sustainable way and, thus, have made the decision to let these staff members go.

According to the release of the gaming news, KitKat’s goal is to “connect with competitive and casual gamers” and promote the importance of taking breaks during long gaming sessions with their tagline, “Have a break”.

In addition, the Nestle brand will have a booth that will be running throughout the Esports World Cup, offering spectators a range of their products to enjoy during games.

Robert Helou, the CEO of Nestle KSA, has spoken about the deal: “This partnership gives us the opportunity to connect with the next generation of gaming players. We believe we will deeply resonate with gamers by implementing our ‘Have a Break’ philosophy into the esports world. This collaboration highlights the importance of taking breaks and prioritizing mental well-being, especially in the high-stress environment of competitive gaming.”

However, KitKat is not unfamiliar with the world of esports gaming. In January 2024, they renewed their partnership with ‘Riot Games’ LEC and EMEA Masters tournaments for another three years. The brand has also renewed its deal with GIANTX, an esports organization. Kitkat joins an extensive list of partners for the event, including Multinational conglomerate Sony and Saudi Arabian megaproject Qiddiya.

The Esports World Cup will feature a wide range of games, including League of Legends, Street Fighter 6, EA Sports FC 24, and many more, that will be taking place from July 4th until August 25th, 2024. However, in addition to the tournament, the Esports Awards will also take place on the penultimate night of the Esports World Cup on August 24th. Multiple stakeholders left the panel in response to the partnership following the announcement.

In May 2024, the Foundation chose 30 organizations to participate in the Club Support Program, which will provide six-figure payments to teams determined by meeting specific criteria. The Esports World Cup Foundation is a Saudi Arabian government-funded non-profit organization. Due to the country’s human rights record, the Esports World Cup Foundation has drawn criticism from some stakeholders.

This HOH program is mainly focused on organizing hiring events and offering fellowship sessions to harness veterans’ hands-on experience. EA provides essential education about gaming and management to veterans qualifying for the program. Considering a veteran’s experience in the real-world battlefield, EA also provides them with networking opportunities.

Veteran Hired By EA As A Top Official

Recently, EA hired two military veterans and celebrated the arrival of their valuable skills and experience in the company. Aaron Johnson is a former special forces operator, and now he serves as the Associate Game Manager at the Ripple Effect (Studio under EA Sports). 

Aaron’s two decades of military service have taken him to locations like New York, Japan, Afghanistan, Italy, and North Carolina. In the special forces, he started as an operator, got promoted to a team sergeant, and then became a small unit team instructor. Despite being in the military, Aaron had an interest in gaming, and he got his first XBox even after some criticism. His interest deepened when he was posted in Afganistan, where gaming was a big companion of his and his team’s free time. 

Retiring from the army was hard for Aaron, but EA’s HOH program gave him another chance to live his life to the fullest. Now, he enjoys his role as Associate Game Manager at the Ripple Effect, where his efforts and experience are well appreciated. At the EA studio, Aaron contributes to the future of the Battlefield game franchise. He helps the developer teams in creating an immersive and real experience for the Battlefield gamers. He helps them design realistic shooting simulations and create locations similar to a real battleground. Not only Aaron but many other veterans are getting the benefits of this HOH program and transitioning to the gaming industry business after their military service.

Despite the ban, the gaming community has once again highlighted the continued partnership. This move has not only sparked a significant backlash from the Indian Gaming Community but also raised concerns about the potential impact on upcoming gamers and developers, making it a topic of interest and discussion. 

With the announcement, there is a growing concern about minimizing the distinction between video games and other entities. This involves participation in real-money games (RMG) and betting and gambling. 

Skyespoorts, one of the country’s major esports tournament organizers, is now focused on Skyespotsts Championship 2024, the upcoming C esports tournament for Counter-Strike 2. 

How Partnership Is Exciting Players?

Esports is considered an extension of the video game industry, which allows numerous gamers to showcase their skills at the highest competitive level. However, this industry has continuously tried to differentiate itself from gambling, betting, RMG, or other entities. This partnership with major Indian esports tournament organizers and illegal betting websites can lead to short-term gains. 

So, it is fair to say that IGN India believes that players who are participating can get a chance to make a clear distinction between video games away from betting and gambling. 

This announcement was discussed earlier with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and top teams, organizations, and content creators discussed the issues and solutions. The report was clarified with Skyesports and 1XBET, and no comment was announced. This implies that responses to all queries regarding the decision are stances between gambling, betting, and esports. 

The developers also contacted JetSynthesys, Skyesports’ parent company, to discuss the matter. There, he said that as soon as the decision was announced, we would respond shortly.

What Is The Ministry Advisory Against Online Gambling Platforms? 

On 21 March 2024, the ministry advisory committee announced that the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued an advisory warning. They said that legal action will be taken against those who promote gambling and betting sites, and they will be arrested or deleted from their social media accounts. 

IGN also believes that companies are misleading gamers and the general public on account of e-gaming and gaming. Skyesports is gradually providing platforms for grand esports tournament spectacles in the country. Also, the gaming authority said that as influencers, it should set a good example for nationwide collaboration with others. It is fundamental before esports tries to elevate the levels of esports tournaments and boost India on the global stage.

CS2 brought fans a breath of fresh air and impacted the franchise’s esports industry. In this article, we will delve into How CS2 has impacted and changed the esports ecosystem.

Fostering new talents 

CS2 has experienced significant issues and glitches since it was released. One of the glitches was ‘peekers advantage,’ where players who peaked saw enemies first and could shoot first. This gave a competitive edge to aggressive players and rushers. While players who are ‘anchors’ or defenders struggle. 

Valve has patched some issues but wasn’t able to fix the peekers advantage due to their ‘sub tick servers.’ This change has benefited aggressive players, such as the 17-year-old Team Spirit prodigy Danil ‘donk’ Kryshkovest.

CS2 released help finding new and fresh talents, in recent times, several younger players, including Andreas ‘aNdy’ Massing and Ihor ‘w0nderful’ Zhdanov, have started playing for top esports teams. I don’t think this will become a trend, but if it does, it will encourage younger players. 

Changing the esports ecosystem 

The launch of CS2 has prompted Valve to take a direct approach to the esports scene of the game. Before the new sets of guidelines, Valve didn’t manage esports but rather gave these responsibilities to esports organizations like ESL, PGL, and BLAST. While these organizers still control the events, Valve’s new guidelines are going to change the way these organizations handle esports. 

Just before the release of CS2, Valve announced new requirements and guidelines for esports events starting in 2025. As per the requirements, esports tournaments that use invitations will need to utilize Valve’s ranking system of open qualifiers. 

Semi-franchised leagues like ESL Pro League and Blast Premier featured partnered teams with guaranteed spots, with remaining slots determined by open qualifiers. 

However, according to Valve’s new rules, they will no longer allow this. Valve said that they want to make the esports ecosystem more open and accessible to everyone rather than to those with business relationships. 

Not Sticking with Your Own Rules 

Valve will hold the next CS2 major in Shanghai, which marks the first Counter-Strike Major in Asia. Valve Majors have always operated as an Open Circuit, allowing any teams to qualify through open qualifiers. But for this event Valve will not have open qualifiers in Europe and America. 

Even though Valve supported open qualifiers and wanted to eliminate the franchising by 2025. The recent decision of Valve has received criticism from the CS: GO community. A petition to maintain open qualifiers has already garnered over 7k signatures.

CS2 Esports is Going to be Crowded 

Following the release of CS2, several esports organizers have announced a ton of events for esports. PGL announced a new series, and CCT is returning with a new circuit. This means fans will be able to see new esports tournaments every week.

2025 is going to be a major year for CS2 as we will see major changes in the ecosystem, with many tournaments taking place. With plenty of action for esports enthusiasts.
