PEL Team Owner on the PUBG Esports Disaster - chessbrah
Eric "chessbrah" Hansen is a chess Grandmaster, but also an ex team owner of a team that played in the biggest PUBG league in Europe - PEL. Since PUBG esports suddenly went downhill as 2019 was closing, we're going to uncover what PUBG Corp did wrong and how it felt being constantly in the dark as a team owner. Eric also touches on how much the whole endeavor actually costed and whether he'd try investing again in PUBG esports or not.
The video episode is available on YouTube!
