Twitch streamer and recent esporting org owner Disguised Toast has revealed that he will lose about a million dollars in 2023 operating DSG and its Valorant and League of Legends team. The creator shared a screenshot of a document from his accountant that detailed the monthly cost of maintaining the organization, which adds up to a net loss of $992K over the course of this calendar year.
Jeremy "Disguised Toast"'s entry into VCT and the LCS ecosystems has been hailed by fans and other exporting personalities as a positive endeavor. His DSG Valorant team's entry in the NA Challengers saw a couple of other streamers, such as Ludwig and MoistCr1TiKaL, start their own teams. However, running and funding an esporting organization is not cheap.
In a recent tweet, Jeremy revealed that after his latest League of Legends team announcement, he would be losing twice the money he expected:
"Just got off a call with my accountant and apparently, I'm going to be spending twice as much as I expected for DSG. -$1,000,000"
