 Hey there, I heard that you're trying to sign a CS:GO team. I have a team that is experienced and has played in online matches where thousands of people have watched. We achieved Top 4 in the ESEA Open league, in which the playoffs alone contained 256 teams. Because of this, we secured a part of the prize pool ($162 per player) and were granted a spot in the ESEA Main league, which is one division below the semi-pro (Premier) division which contains skilled teams such as TSM. Here's a link to the ESEA team page, and reply if you have any interest in continuing this conversation: https://play.esea.net/teams/138400

 Apologize. We don't use this Twitter on a phone and push notifications aren't a thing on the computer. We have to manually check it.

 p0ke | Hunter

 p0ke | Hunter

Well. Like you said. We don't want to keep you up too long. Therefore we can pencil you in tomorrow

 Preferably Teamspeak but I can use the other two if its more convenient

Jan 8
 p0ke | Hunter
 Hi there, we were told yesterday by the CEO that we would have a revised copy of the contract by that night, and we still haven't received it. Do you think that you could ask him for an ETA of when we would get it?
Jan 9
 Lion Guard Esports
 Yes. We moved everything over by one day. So interviewing, contracts, and other stuff should go out or be finished by tonight
Jan 9
 p0ke | Hunter
 Alright, was just making sure everything is ok. Thanks for the reply :)
Jan 9
 Lion Guard Esports
 Do you have records that we can review? Such as links to your ESEA page or other tournament pages?
Jan 9
https://play.esea.net/teams/138400
 p0ke | Hunter
 ESEA page
Jan 9
on there you can look at all the scrims / matches we've played over time
 p0ke | Hunter
 things are looking great so far so we're really excited to go through with this :)
Jan 9
 Lion Guard Esports
 what is your email again?
Jan 9
 p0ke | Hunter
 hbraum99@gmail.com
Jan 9
 p0ke | Hunter
 Would you prefer I sent all the signatures in the same email or everyone sending it individually
Jan 9
 Lion Guard Esports
 The same email would be awesome!
Jan 9
 p0ke | Hunter
 Ok, hopefully I can get it to you by tomorrow or the day after
Jan 9
 Lion Guard Esports
 Great, he is sending the email now
Jan 9
 p0ke | Hunter
 awesome
Jan 9
I believe it was in the contract for entry fees.
 Lion Guard Esports
 It should be covered.
Jan 10
 p0ke | Hunter
 could you direct me to the specific section please?
Jan 10
 Lion Guard Esports
 Yes, let me pull up the contract now
Jan 10
 p0ke | Hunter
 Much obliged :)
Jan 10
Under expenses and benefits, #3
 Lion Guard Esports
 For all applicable gaming tournaments or other events, the Player must submit in writing a request for funding for items under this Agreement (a Company expense form will be issued for submission).
Jan 10
So we have to sub,it a form in order to receive our fees paid?
 p0ke | Hunter
 how long would that take to process?
Jan 10
 Lion Guard Esports
 You submit the form. It gets approved. Money
Jan 10
Depends on the matter
Let's say, for example, its MLG Atlana
it's MLG Atlanta*
That can take anywhere from 3-7 days to get a response, only because it is high risk.
 Lion Guard Esports
 Where as a smaller online tournament or smaller fee can take up to 24 hours or less
Jan 10
 p0ke | Hunter
 In our case, league registration and fees are due in 6 days, so would you be able to process it in time if it was on urgent notice?
Jan 10
 Lion Guard Esports
 Yeah. What do league fees come out to?
Jan 10
I believe its 20$ per player, so the 5 players and the coach (myself) is a total of 120$
 p0ke | Hunter
 its usually only 10$ but since we're playing a higher division its morte
Jan 10
more*
 Lion Guard Esports
 That shouldn't be a problem. Might be around 24 hours
Jan 10
ok cool
 p0ke | Hunter
 hopefully i can get all of the signatures in by tomorrow. Thanks for your time
Jan 10
 Lion Guard Esports
 No problem. Glad I could help.
Jan 10
 p0ke | Hunter
 sorry to bother you, but one more question: is printing out, signing, and submitting a photo of the signature an acceptable form of submitting the contact? Most of us don't own scanners / drawing tablets / etc/.
Jan 10
Unfortunately, no.
 Lion Guard Esports
 Have you tried uploading the document to an electronic signature program?
Jan 10
no, could you name one?
Sorry if this sounds dumbbut we know like nothing
 p0ke | Hunter
 nvm i found one
Jan 10
 Lion Guard Esports
 Let us know if you'd like anymore help
Jan 10
 p0ke | Hunter
 ok, thank you
Jan 10
 p0ke | Hunter
 Hi, just wanted to let you know that I submitted our contracts via email. We look forward to working with you!
Jan 11
 Lion Guard Esports
 Great! Just got them
Jan 11
 p0ke | Hunter
 So once you sit down and sign them we'll be good to go?
Jan 12
 Lion Guard Esports
 Should be
Jan 12
 p0ke | Hunter
 In that case can we get the fund request form/stream package via email and all that when that goes through?
Jan 12
 p0ke | Hunter
 do you trhink you could give us an ETA on when everything will be finalized?
Jan 12
 Lion Guard Esports
 Should be tonight, waiting to hear back from COO
Jan 12
 p0ke | Hunter
 ok, sounds good. Thanks!
Jan 12
 p0ke | Hunter
 any update?
Jan 12
 Lion Guard Esports
 Trying to find out for you guys
Jan 12
 p0ke | Hunter
 Could you ask the COO if he can do this at some point today? I don't mean to be rude but I just want to make sure we don't run out of time and I'm trying to look out for my players.
Jan 13
 Lion Guard Esports
 Completely understandable. The COO has been sick from his Cruise a week ago. I am trying to get a hold of him to sign the contract for you guys. I should have it soon. Fingers crossed
Jan 13
 p0ke | Hunter
 Alright
Jan 13
 Lion Guard Esports
 The COO is signing now
Jan 13
Awesome
 p0ke | Hunter
 Anything in particular we should do after that happens?
Jan 13
 Lion Guard Esports
 We will send it back to you. After that, we will announce you as our CSGO team.
Jan 13
 p0ke | Hunter
 Ok, I'll make sure we're ready for that :)
Jan 13
 Lion Guard Esports
 Great!
Jan 13
 p0ke | Hunter
 when do you plan on annoucing it? Wanna make sure we're ready to update social media and stuff
Jan 13
We want to create a graphic, but that could take some time. Plus I am sure you and your team are excited
So I guess once the papers are sent.
 Lion Guard Esports
 Trying to scan them now
Jan 13
 p0ke | Hunter
 ok, no need to rush.
Jan 13
 Lion Guard Esports
 All the contracts are done. Does your team want a signed copy back?
Jan 13
 p0ke | Hunter
 I would prefer to have one if you don't mind.
Jan 13
 Lion Guard Esports
 Do you want us to send it in a group email with all the contracts?
Jan 13
 p0ke | Hunter
 sure
Jan 13
 Lion Guard Esports
 Looks like our scanner isn't working. It's going to be a few days before we can get it fixed. The good news is that the contracts are signed (we can provide proof via a picture) and we are official a team
Jan 13
would you mind sending me the pictures then? Doesn't have to be now but I'd like them at some point in the next few days
 p0ke | Hunter
 also, we look forward to working with you
Jan 13
 Lion Guard Esports
 I can do that now, no problem
Jan 13

 Lion Guard Esports
 How's that?
Jan 13
That works
