Eric "chessbrah" Hansen is a chess Grandmaster, but also an ex team owner of a team that played in the biggest PUBG league in Europe - PEL. Since PUBG esports suddenly went downhill as 2019 was closing, we're going to uncover what PUBG Corp did wrong and how it felt being constantly in the dark as a team owner. Eric also touches on how much the whole endeavor actually costed and whether he'd try investing again in PUBG esports or not.
