Blizzard fired 50 specialists from its esports department
In the Blizzard studio, despite record revenues (it received a net $ 1 billion for the first time in the quarter), cuts began. 50 people who specialized in esports lost their places.
For former employees, this turned out to be a big surprise. None of them were asked to change their role or team. Before they were fired, they were working on a new tool for conducting competitions.
Now they admit that Activision Blizzard may close the esports division, since the transfer of cases has not been completed, and the company does not have internal resources to support esports activity.
