Disguised Toast explains why his Valorant team won\u2019t have a crypto sponsor YT: Disguised ToastTwitch streamer and OfflineTV personality Jeremy \u2018DisguisedToast\u2019 Wang has explained why his DSG esports org won\u2019t have a crypto-related sponsor. Streaming giant Disguised Toast has been a late albeit welcome addition to the world of esports. In January 2023, Toast revealed he had acquired a Valorant esports team consisting of former Knights, 100 Thieves and First Gaming players. Known as DSG, the team has got off to an auspicious start and qualified for NA Challengers. It has certainly been a learning experience for Toast outside of the matches themselves. On January 20 he asked how esports organizations actually make money and, just before that, said it\u2019s costing him tens of thousands of dollars per month. Despite the confusion over financial viability, Toast has explained why we won\u2019t be seeing DSG donning a cryptocurrency based sponsor anytime soon. Disguised Toast rejects crypto sponsors for his Valorant team Speaking on 100T Hiko\u2019s stream, he outlined why he wouldn\u2019t be comfortable accepting a cryptocurrency based sponsor for his DSG outfit. After stating that a lot of esports orgs go \u201chand in hand\u201d with crypto, he explained why his won\u2019t follow suit: \u201cI\u2019m gonna try my best to avoid it. Because, I don\u2019t know, personally I think as an esports org you can\u2019t accept crypto money and then shill it to all your fans. \u201cThen once it goes down it\u2019s like \u2018well guys, we\u2019re actually not gonna be in the crypto space anymore, sorry!\u2019 Wipe your hands clean of it and pretend you weren\u2019t just selling this to your very young player base.\u201d In short, it seems that Toast has found the recent volatility in the crypto space evidence that it\u2019s not quite ready to be pushed on esports fans, especially when some are so young. Esports organization TSM were forced to suspend a $210m partnership with crypto firm FTX after it collapsed and their owner became embroiled in legal troubles. Toast did say that he was more open to a gambling sponsor but, as of now, there\u2019s no confirmed sponsors for DSG\u2019s immediate future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
