Operations Producer and Project and Production Manager Megan Isgett-Foster also expressed her feelings about the situation, stating, “While it’s not unexpected given the company’s trajectory, it was heartbreaking.”
This marks the second round of layoffs for Esports Engine in the last two years. In July 2023, the company laid off 65 employees following its parent company's acquisition by ESL FACEIT Group in March. ESL FACEIT Group also announced a 15% workforce reduction, affecting between 250 and 300 employees.
