Third major esports trophy

Guild Esports (LSE: GILD), a global team organisation and lifestyle brand, is pleased to announce that it has won its third major trophy after its Fortnite pro-player, Tai Starčič ('TaySon'), achieved first place in the prestigious Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) All-Star Showdown on 26 June 2021. The prize money amounted to $150,000. Guild's previous victories include wins at the Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) European Grand Finals in March 2021 and first place in the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) EU Spring Regional in April 2021.

Guild Esports' Henrik Mclean ('Hen') and Jannis Matwin ('JannisZ') both secured a top 40 placement, finishing 27(th) and 38(th) respectively. Guild's entire Fortnite roster qualified for the FNCS All-Star Showdown, cementing its ranking as number one in Europe and earning the team a total of $167,000 in prize money from the event.

Kal Hourd, Chief Executive, said: "To see Guild win a third major trophy in such quick succession is incredible. The hard work and dedication everyone has put in, from our players and coaches to sports psychologists, is delivering world-class results in some of the biggest esports tournaments. This latest victory is also a testament to Guild's academy model which is aiding players to consistently perform at their best."

NFT, I feel, has been a bit of a fleece - I got in at IPO, but wish I hasn't as I didn't do enough research... Basically the owners & their cohorts/initial ivestors, who may have missed out on argo after selling up too early and handing it over to PW and the new board, had a shead load of shares at 0.01p and 1p, which are still being rinsed through.

If I could be sure BLU won't need another raise, I'd jump in and buy even more at this price...

The last new investment was 2 months ago in NFT another blockchain investment from the people who founded Argoblockchain. Argo has done extremely well so lets see how NFT does after it rather poor initial performance. Good to see BLU sticking with blockchain as Satoshipay is its largest investment. Dtransfer and Pedulum have great potential in a hot investment area.

No they haven't reported news from at least 3 of our companies in last month or so! What are they doing about new investments too?

[888icb] 25/6/2021 09:47

The Directors make the investments but don’t control them so they can’t report to us unless the investee company issues information to them. What exactly are you blaming BOD silence for? Are you expecting them to make up some news?

[blueblood] 25/6/2021 09:05

BoD silence to blame imo. Need to start earning their money!

Truly dreadful this

Pathetic

[blueblood] 23/6/2021 11:23

Most of our investments are doing ok just BLU dead as a dodo and BoD are partly to blame with lack of communication imo

Leaf Mobile making good progress - closing price on TSX yesterday was C$0.36

[okspookie] 22/6/2021 17:08

the news about guild was posted by blu on twitter this pm

i don't know what ur complaining about dB

lol

Apologies - the Dynasty news was mentioned on BLU's twitter account on 2nd June.

You could probably write the half-yearly report yourself by now. I wonder how often the words "exciting" and "potential" will be used.:-)

[blueblood] 22/6/2021 13:08

The only positive U can find atm is the half yearly report has to be out by next Wednesday! They might tell us what the he'll is going on....

[doodlebug4] 22/6/2021 13:06

Latest comment on BLU's twitter feed refers to an article about eSports dated 17th May. I can't figure out why that is deemed more important than the news about Guild's agreement with Samsung which was announced yesterday on various media outlets. FinGo's deal with MasterCard was eventually mentioned on BLU's twitter about six days later and Dynasty's latest news at the beginning of this month didn't appear to be worthy of an RNS or even a mention on twitter. You have to question if anyone at Blue Star Capital has actually got a clue what is happening with some of their investee companies.

[doodlebug4] 21/6/2021 20:19

The marketing and communications from BLU is absolutely dreadful, which it has been for quite a few years now and sadly shows no signs of getting better from a new CEO. It's truly pathetic when shareholders have to find the latest news from investee companies on this advfn thread.

[doodlebug4] 21/6/2021 09:23

fairenough - thank you for that. It's strange that significant info isn't flagged up by BLU, either by RNS or on the company twitter account.
