Hello all. I just wanted to address a few of the ongoing conversations around recent changes and clarify a couple things.
Firstly, the CS2 team, nor any other NIP teams, have ever been asked to relocate and play from the UAE. To be clear, we will always enable our teams to play from their desired location, and where the strongest practice environment is.
Secondly, the Swedish bootcamp facilities in the office remains open for all teams to practice from and the esports division is in no way affected by this process.
Lastly, I’d like to reiterate that this is a contemplated process and no full decisions have been made. We’ve made it clear that ‘should’ employees indeed become affected at the end of the process, we can explore new opportunities with them.
Structurally, these changes allow us to operate more efficiently, move faster, and better coordinate across regions which is something we need to be doing. This would strengthen our capabilities and ultimately produce better content, larger, stronger activations, and more value for our partners and fans.
