CDawgVA immediately drops out of Creator League due to blockchain concerns Instagram: CDawgVAThe Creator League has come under fire due to its connection to blockchain technology, and CDawgVA has chosen to pull out of the league less than 24 hours after it was announced, calling his involvement a \u201cf*** up\u201d. CDawgVA, also known as Connor, has not-so-quietly become one of the biggest names on Twitch. His prowess as a voice actor and larger-than-life personality on stream have garnered him a massive following across multiple platforms. So, it\u2019s no surprise that he was invited to be one of 8 captains involved in the Creator League, a content-creator focused competitive gaming circuit that features creators duking it out to prove who\u2019s the best across multiple titles. However, upon hearing that the Creator Pass was fueled by blockchain technology, CDawgVA dropped out of the league almost immediately citing concerns about NFTs and the cryptocurrency platform powering the event. CDawgVA calls joining Creator League an \u201cembarrassing f*** up\u201d Though esports have had their ups and downs in recent years, creator-run orgs have been on an upward trend as of late. Content creators seem to be a surefire way to get eyes on esports, even if the creators themselves aren\u2019t taking to the stage. The Creator League, meanwhile, set out to create a sort of esports circuit that sees the creators themselves competing and getting more involved in the competition itself. However, concerns from the community were raised when they saw the Creator League pass was associated with Mynt, a company that\u2019s partnered with exchange platform Coinflow. Additionally, one part of Mynt\u2019s frequently asked questions tab caught some users off guard. Under the question, \u201cCan I change my Creator League pass to another community?\u201d, this was their answer: \u201cUsers can only own a Creator\u2019s Community Pass for one Creator and be a part of one Community at a time. However, you can purchase as many passes as you\u2019d like for the same Creator\u2019s Community.\u201d Considering giveaways are a key part of the marketing around the event, this has rubbed many the wrong way. As a result of hearing about those involved with operating the event and the involvement of blockchain technology, CDawgVA has chosen to bow out. Connor claimed that he \u201cwas not told or made aware at any point that there was a Blockchain technology and was only made aware of that information when the event went life.\u201d He went on to explain that, if he was fully aware of what he was getting into, he never would have joined the event in the first place. He continued, \u201cIt\u2019s an embarrassing f*** up on my part to agree to promote this to my audience. I\u2019m sorry.\u201d At the time of writing, Connor is still featured on the Creator League site as a creator whose pass can be purchased. It\u2019s as of yet unclear whether or not he\u2019ll be fully removed from the program and how the Creator League will be affected going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
