Some disturbing news coming from the DOTA2 arena with a deal being pulled back from TSM made alight earlier yesterday.
That was kind of expected after the disaster and the TSM players might have to wait a bit before they could remove the FTX part from their dota2 pro name since it's the off season.There were some who had shirts with the logo during road to rio so I am imagining this will affect their deals with the now defunct exchange as well.
I didn't even notice that FTX was sponsoring a csgo team and throughout the tournament, the imperial jerseys are always the ones that catch my eye. The team I couldn't remember was Furia, the hosts of the Intel Extreme Masters tournament in Brazil.

The company also were the official League of Legends championship series exchange partners.
"The deal immediately raised eyebrows from the esports community, as this announcement comes just months after LCS denied TSM from using FTX branding. Sources told Dot Esports that as part of the deal, Riot will have the ability to remove the branding from assets on applicable international broadcasts where cryptocurrencies are ‘strictly regulated.’
On the contrary, editing physical assets, such as logos on a TSM jersey, are not as plausible."
