thanks for that Aldi, another scaremongering comment based on absolutely nothing.

The Beckham deal would arguably make it impossible, or at least significantly more expensive to execute

Definitely felt like it was more a case of Jasmine Skee being instrumental in the Sky deal which pushed her up the ranks. Guild in a stronger position for having her at the helm.

2023 will be the year of cementene

The Sky deal is confirmed as in excess of 4.5million (and rumoured to be 6million). And is not in any way ‘performance based’.

More nonsense from Aldebaran

Sky’s social media channels are really pushing the VCT game changers championship. This is a great collab. Not seen Guild in such a mainstream space before.

Liz Truss debacle, Bank of England warnings, ongoing war in Ukraine, cost of living and energy crisis.

Guild have pulled off miracle sponsorships against that gloomy background.

I guess because they're just the flipping ghost of christmas future, kindly here to forewarn us, with no agenda of their own at all.

Have been over this so many times but to reiterate this is not simply a case of the team win and the money comes in. This is about building a fanbase who support a team, win or lose. Just like in traditional sports. Yes they will need to feature in the top competitions, they can't lose every game, but if they don't win a match that doesn't mean a fundraise is around the corner.

The amazing thing about Guild is that in one of the most horrendous economic periods in recent history, they've still managed to convince Sky, Bitstamp, Coca Cola, Samsung and Hyperice to invest millions in sponsorship money. Why, in such a risk-adverse economy, when public spending is at such lows would they do that UNLESS they perceived there to be tremendous long term value in Guild's audience/fanbase?

I follow the team, it is not always smooth. Players leave, they don't make all the right tournaments but I'm a fan, the branding, marketing, and the drama of the some of the matches got me hooked. Guild know what they're doing.

Tory policy is dragging this further south today but ouch 13p

Says the poster who short term trades stocks that they personally consider to be a complete gamble.

Revenue is solid, project (both Guild and the UK esports scene) still in its infancy and yet sponsors are already mainstream, long term, multi million deals.

exactly, shows Beckham is committed to giving the company the best chance to grow and believes enough in the future commercial prospects to renegotiate what was a guaranteed payment .

Looking very bright here. average valuation of a top esports team is 100-200m and here we have Guild on 14m

this is a great sponsorship, tells you that esports and mainstream broadcast isn’t that far off.
Makes it even more baffling that the new Valorant franchise didn’t pick Guild. Only FNATIC we’re chosen from the UK.

There has been some good progress:

First concretene pour
3D printed graphene structures
Deal with Umbro
Partnership with Superdrug
Deal with Flux footwear

But needs more in the current economic climate to move the share price

A********’n, it’s actually incredibly dark and twisted what you do. There’s people here with money invested in a stock. The company releases good news after good news but against a backdrop of global economic crisis the share price doesn’t move. This is the case for pretty much all stocks at the moment.

And yet, you see this as opportunity to sow seeds of doubt in peoples mind, try and make them question their investments and make panic decisions that may cost them thousands down the line .

Your claims are short term, have no sense of big picture or overview and are unsupported. What you do is morally bankrupt. Make better life choices.

Derek Lew (non-executive chairman of Guild) is also the CEO of Blue Star Capital.

The fact Aldebaran keeps stating ‘their best player left’ as a reason to sell your shares tells you they have no idea about Guild’s current rosters or really how esports works.

The short termism on here blows my mind sometimes, although I know it’s really more cynical than that.
Guild sign deals with Bitstamp, Coca Cola, Razer, and Hyperice within a 6 month period as well as opening a HQ with a 10 year lease. No RNS for what? 2 weeks? And along comes the fearmongering again. Patience is so important.

It’s not as black and white as gambling, win or lose. It’s about creating a club and gaming culture that sustains and fans support, win or lose. Good performances in knockouts that result in losses (good drama basically) still gain new audiences. As it happens though they have recruited some of best players in the world and do really well in the four games they compete in.
Leo is one of the best Valorant players in the world
Hen is one of the best Fortnite players in the world
Nicholas99fc is one of the best FIFA players in the world
CRR is one the most exciting young Rocket League players in the world.

Guild are a good esports team, that being taken more and more seriously on the esports world (just watch the esports YouTube reactions to their Valorant progress) and good brand that attract best in class sponsors.

England performing well at the Commonwealths is just the start of the something for the Uk. Guild Vs FNATIC I think will become a classic London derby match in future
