- Alan spent several months basically running a protection racket telling TOs including BTS "it'd be a shame if your event got shutdown for being unlicensed" in an effort to scare them into signing onto the Cup. BTS will absolutely never participate in a circuit led by Alan.The upcoming Smash World Tour Championships and the entirety of the 2023 Smash World Tour must be cancelled. Full Story: medium.com/@smashworldtou…
- Replying to @LDeeepIf you work for a production company, esports org, or other group that is hiring, please consider hiring from our amazing team. I can personally vouch for each and every one of them. I'll continue updating this list as our people consent. bts.gg/ourteam
- alan outing himself as mafia and then promising not to kill anyone next night if we just all go to sleep was not on my 2022 Smash bingo card
- Replying to @LDeeepVGBC has been a pillar of the Smash community for over a decade, and as a fellow TO, it's absolutely gut-wrenching to see the SWT get rug-pulled basically a week before their biggest event ever.
- Replying to @LDeeepThe damage is enormous and we urge Nintendo to listen to the community and re-evaluate their relationship with the Panda Cup and Alan going forward.
- From Fly/S4 ditching the team 8 hours before Supermajor, to being ranked 18 out of 18 by Teamliquid, to taking down their former teammates in dominating fashion, to grinding out the BO5 from down 2-3. Truly best TI ever. A fairytale ending for the ones who never gave up #TI8
- What is missing from this statement is any mention of Alan divesting his interest in the company My understanding is Alan owns Panda and basically controls the company. At first blush, this just sounds like damage control and a desperate attempt at grabbing a life raft
- I am very sad to report that we just ordered the deletion of all BTS Twitch VODs, highlights and clips dating back to 2012. So many memories. RIP Fistful of Tangoes, G-1 league, original DOTA / Smash / RL / CSGO Summits, 8 years of TI hubs, and so much more. We hardly knew ye 😭
- Classic @LudwigAhgren You may be thinking this is staged... I can promise you it was not. This is a clip from our meeting recorder <24 hours out from an announcement months in the making. But this game is worth the wait and we can't wait to share it with you all soon❤️so about our next game
00:00 - personally a terrible and sad day for me, and i know for much of the team here at BTS. we won't be producing a DPC league next year, and honestly it's unclear if we'll be doing any DOTA content at all moving forward. such an amazing game and community that has given me everythingout not with a bang but a whimper no idea what the future holds but thanks for everything all these years, love you all always
00:00 - One day last fall, @LudwigAhgren jumped into a call and told me he wanted to blow everything up and turn offbrand into a worker cooperative. This came right on the heels of closing BTS, launching 2 new companies at offbrand, and diving headlong into a gauntlet of events...WE'RE A WORKER CO-OP NOW
- Replying to @PlayfulPianoVGMYeah, I can confirm their statement about our experience with Panda is accurate, we reviewed it in advance.
