rk of ESEA News has just posted a massive article about Blight Gaming on his site. Check out part of it below:
From the aftermath of the ESEA Season 6 LAN to the audio interview with Nick “TheFragile” Leon and Justin “justin” White to the recent push to get ESEA-Open to 50 teams, the eSports organization Blight Gaming, headed up by one James “blackfoger” Larsen, has been hip deep in rumours and controversy over some ridiculous and highly questionable practices. Like the Lindsay Lohan celebrity train wreck, it’s been impossible to turn away from such an interesting and confusing man, who continues to meddle in the TF2 community to this day as the registration clock counts down to zero.
While there has already been a great deal of talk concerning Blight lately, ESEAnews was approached by Ben “TheWhiz” Sholes speaking on behalf of both players and partners of Blight’s, to publish one last article he had prepared in an effort to set the whole matter to rest. Here now are the personal accounts of not only Ben, but of Fred “virulent” St Onge of the Blight CSS squad, a collective message from the Blight TF2 players, and a critical account from Adam "Nonsense" Handwerker of End of Reality concerning the business practices of James Larsen.

I first got involved with Blight when they absorbed Dustin "soduk" Haney's (gotfrag.com/portal/user/394509/) org, Essentrix. At the time, I was a mediocre player that thought it would be fun to use my business skills from my day job to get involved in the gaming industry. When Essentrix was absorbed into Blight, Foger and soduk agreed to be co-CEO's. Dustin made me COO and a friend of mine from Cognition Gaming (even before Essentrix), Spencer "SupagreeN" Weston, CFO. These titles didn't mean much. We just did what we needed to in order to get things done. I was just excited to have the opportunity to start working in the industry.
