In order for ESI to continue, they need more dependable admins, support from the teams participating and sponsors.
Yenta, the head-administrator of Esports International has posted a thread in Teamliquid's forums concerning a Season 3 of the league. The future of Esports International is uncertain, and they need more motivated and realiable admins to continue. The participating teams must also give their support, with or without sponsors. Asking more than 30 companies for sponsorship, Yenta got response from only Razer and one unnamed site, and they both rejected the offer. In other words, ESI don't have any sponsors for the next season so far, and no sponsors means no prizes, other than pride, for the top teams.
“Along with the bad, it is good to note that ESI has grown to be a pretty fun and well liked league. I think by turning to the community for help, by finding the right set of admins, and by dropping the ESPORTS mentality - ESI has the potential to continue for many seasons to come. ” - Yenta.
He explains further that in order for the league to continue he needs people who are motivated and trustworthy, so he can work on the coding only, which is, according to himself, what he does best. So if anyone out there with some experience feels motivated to help out Yenta, ESI, and a great contribution to the Starcraft community, don't hesitate to raise your voice and contact the ESI administration.
