E-Sports

In the chapters, Kane tells about the competitiveness of E-Sports, and how much it's a business through the story of two Counter-Strike teams: 3D and CompLexity.
Kane starts off with telling about Craig Levine, Team 3D's manager. "Levine is the man most responsible for elevating competitive Counter-Strike un the United States. He alone raised the bar and gave every other clan a common goal: to knock him off the top of the mountain." He played Counter-Strike in high school and a little during college, but college was when he really started getting into the business side of competitive gaming. He recruited players and created "America's first 'professional' team."
Craig didn't play the game anymore, he was just the manager. It was all business to him, dealing with recruiting, traveling, tournaments, funding, and sponsors, including NVIDIA. Sheryl Huang, marketing director, said that she'd "'...gotten e-mails and phone calls from gamers before, [but] Craig was the first guy who actually had a PowerPoint presentation in hand. Here's an eighteen-year-old kid, and he's speaking corporate language. I was still skeptical, but I decided to give it a shot. Team 3D felt like a winner.'" Craig has been accused of scheming, cheating, and rigging tournaments. He cuts players from his own team without hesitation and "stealthily poaches players" from others. A team he consistently tried to do this with was CompLexity.
CompLexity, a team managed by Jason Lake, was new and set their sights on knocking Team 3D from the top. The way Kane made it sound like, CompLexity was never as successful as 3D, but the players were more loyal, both to their manager to each other. Craig Levine would constantly try to take away CompLexity's players, promising them with higher payouts, but the players stayed with Jason. fRoD and Tr1p, players on CompLexity, were Levine's main targets. "'Craig was talking shit about Jason,' Tr1p recalls. 'He'd say, 'You've done well at tournaments. Why don't you have a sponsor yet? It's because he's unprofessional.' All that shit. But Jake's always been good to us, always paid us on time. We respect Jake.'" When contemplating the deal, they asked if they could bring along Warden, who was second in frags behind fRoD. "Any team would want Matt on board...but Craig wouldn't do it." This was for one reason: Matt's appearance. Because he wouldn't look good in the media or in interviews, Levine didn't want anything to do with it.
Earlier in the article, it said "In traditional pro sports...general managers are prohibited from approaching players signed to other teams with contract offers. They're not even allowed to directly contact their agents. That's called "tampering," and it's against the rules. But in e-sports, there are no rules...There's nothing to prevent tampering, even with salaried players under contract, like those on CompLexity." Do you e-sports should be changed to ban tampering?
