Boy has it been a rough couple of weeks for some of our teams... not doing too hot in the esports department or the financial department if you guys have seen the budget sheets for the last 2 months. HERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS THO
Last weekend, our Tekken boy PhiDX took 1st place at the Sandia Showdown 2024! He didn't do too hot previously at ComboBreaker and Dreamhack, so we're super proud of him for getting his first W under DSG!
Valorant, we're now 2-1 in groups so far and just n...
DID WE SAY MAY WOULD BE BETTER CUZ ITS NOT
May was by far our largest spend of the year with 220K going out in payments including event expenses (ALGS LAN and Tekken event), player/staff salaries, hoodie restock order, and our long-awaited official DSG jersey & pro-kit order for launch next month. The good news is we did have a huge bump in revenue due to our ALGS event merch -- thank you so much for everyone who supported! (If you placed a pre-order, the merch is planning to be shi...

We really enjoyed the process of letting our Board of Directors decide to dive into smaller scenes like Pokemon, and hope you guys do too. We hope we can do more of these in the future!

ALRIGHT so last week we said that if the Board of Directors poll to sponsor some Pokemon TCG players got 100 votes on yes, we would sponsor them for the Pokemon International Championship. Well, it got 98... so we got 2 extra yes votes from our staff - we are going through with it! Note that they will not be official signed players for DSG, we are just sponsoring them for this specific event. More so, they are sponsored by the DSG Patreon.
We're gonna have the team do an intro video and...

WE ARE OMEGA RED THIS MONTH AHHHH
In April, we paid out a lot of POs to prep for the Apex LAN playoffs in LA (bootcamp, merch, booth, extra staffing to help us on the event, etc). We also had several severance payments to players who are no longer with us due to roster changes.
In May, we expect to see a huge increase in revenue due to our DSGxDOJO merch drop for ALGS LAN, as well as our newly signed sponsor Chipotle. However, we also expect to see a huge increase in expenses due ...

Hello Patrons. Our Apex team just wrapped up ALGS Split 1 playoff by finishing in 8th through a tough lower bracket run in true DSG fashion.
This was our first T1 LAN event and we had ALL hands on deck for the entire event - our interns tweeting and editing tiktoks live from the stands of the venue, our company leadership heads selling t-shirts and jerseys, and our editors literally staying up till sunrise to edit match recaps. Our booth was hands down the most popular - we sold out of...

Hey there DSG investors. Just dropping in here for a small update regarding content and what we got internally.
If you saw last week's update, you would know that April is a very slow month for us. Therefore, we won't have any weekly updates likely until May. Rest assured, we have a lot of things moving internally and things will really start to pick up in May! Apex LAN is in 2 weeks and we will be making our entry into FGC soon.
Regarding content, unfortunately this week's BTD ...

WE ARE BACK IN THE GREEN THANK YOU TO ALL OUR INVESTORS AND SPONSORS!!
In March, we received a huge boost from sponsorship revenue and profits from our Philippines event. We also had a great month on our social channels with all our teams going into playoffs so lots of content and growth there, especially on YouTube. Overall we ended Q1 positive (barely, but still positive) -- huge improvements from this time last year when we had zero dollars in revenue.
April is a fairly quiet m...

Hey investors! Toasty is back with another update. April is a pretty slow month for us - we're inbetween split 1 and 2 for both NACL and Valorant, and were basically just waiting for the Apex LAN to happen in first week of May, so we'll likely skip 1 or 2 updates the next few weeks as there's nothing really going on with us... Hope you guys understand!
Another thing - we'll likely postpone this weeks Behind the Disguise episode until next week. Apologies in advance!
Hola BOD! Got a bit of a different episode this week than our usual weekly episodes. Our valorant team is here to play a little gun roulette 1v1 challenge. Let us know if you want to see more content like this! Or not... any feedback helps :D
