  • Toast is pumping out content like he spent too much on an esports team and I'm here for it.
  • @HeisenbergFam
    Only Toast casually says he lost a million with a cheery voice, he truly needs a small loan of a million dollars
  • @Watcher_OW
    The cool thing about him is that he’s just being genuine explaining the situation he and E-Sport orgs are facing, also that he’s not greedy noting the low profit of the plushy and the salary of the members.
  • @clrk5867
    We here for you Toast, besides the audience, you made a lot of pro players happy ✨
  • @moisesszz
    Toast being humble, honest and helping people, it's incredible thinking that a single man can run a Team in better way then those massive organizations
  • Love the candid and honest way that you discuss the space, hope the rest of your day is a delight. We love ya man.
  • Not sure how to describe Toast. He’s so real but seems far away at the same time. Like he genuinely wants his fans to be happy but at the same time needs to profit.
  • @Shosara
    Huge respect for doing this, enabling the players to follow their dreams, and trying to make the finances work. I always wondered howe some of these newer esports orgs (out of the past 10 years) managed to survive and am not surpised that in essence, they didn't. Long standing orgs Like Team Liquid seem to have their shit together a lot more, having survived through the "early days" in the 00's. Thats why i always support team Liquid, no matter what game i come across their teams. I never played much, or any really, LoL, but i am genuinely excited to see your ambitions with valorant succeed. I really hope things turn around for the mens team! for how much heart and soul you put into this undertaking it was heartbreaking to hear them drop out. <3
  • @Ser--
    Toast: "these esports teams don't know how to market themselves" Also Toast: "I've lost one million dollars in esports and my valorant team did so bad they got kicked out of their league. Invest in my team"
  • Oh damn, thank you so much for all that insight and experience from this venture! There's really a lot of value and wisdom in you reflections of your mistakes and "overestimations". But the fact that you share what you have learned from it, is truly admirable and a best example you could possibly set in my opinion. I had no idea the gaming industry was struggling so bad ! If I had money, I'd support you for just this video alone, love the honesty <3
  • @xjustn
    I'm not really in a position to support but I really respect all you've done for DSG and the esports scene with your transparency and fresh mindset. Its a breath of fresh air and I hope to continue seeing DSG in esports
  • @btchpls6363
    It's refreshing to see the inside things of an Esports with the Owner POV. Thanks for this content sir. Good luck on your teams!
  • @defnotfez
    I really respect the transparency and honest you are with this not many people got the guts to do that got my support 👍
  • @gulox6946
    You've been an inspiration to me throughout this journey of DSG. Eventhough DSG valorant didn't work out, you didn't give up and continued to pursue what you believe in. That in itself is very impressive. I am confident DSG will succeed someday because they have an amazing owner and team
  • One of the more popular league streamers said to make the players themselves be streamers. Making them have their own fan groups and identities can make the games more exciting and can really help.
  • @kick93
    I think Watching Esports takes alot alot of time and is only for specific people. I dont watch Esports live or Vods for time reason but love when people put out video showing their journey in à 20-30 minute video. Also, making the players people is à very good way to cheer for them. I would love to see more video’s and more content of the players
  • @muzzrah7438
    A lot of respect for this transparency and love the approach taken on everything! Hoping that you find a way to sustain the org and compete!
  • @OhOnGod
    I like the Idea that DSG is kinda a community project to make NA esports profitable, and despite the current projections, I hope the meme magic pulls through. I will be watching to see where this goes.
