Varizan wrote that Bump, the agency founded by Squeezie, had established itself in Los Angeles, where a team was supposed to connect with American creators and publishers. He estimated that this presence could offer new business opportunities for Gentle Mates, particularly for its Call of Duty team, in an American market he described as important for esports. He reminded that Bump was notably working with gaming and esports creators Skyyart, Nikof, Mel, and Gotaga, and managed partnerships and sponsorship for Gentle Mates, the club of Squeezie, Gotaga, and Brawks. According to the figures cited by Varizan, the agency, founded in 2020 after Squeezie left Webedia, counted more than 70 creators, totaled 3 billion views, and had 300 active clients, and had completed 1,500 partnerships in 2025. Varizan presented Bump as the commercial structure of the club and indicated that the model combining creators, esports club, and sponsorship organized by the agency was already in place in France. #BumpAgency #Esport #Squeezie (translated)

KCenter summarized Kammeto's stream on the situation of Karmine Corp. According to his summary, the "MasterMove" seemed to have paid off: the club was financially stable and had no more money problems. Kammeto reportedly indicated that the VCT partnership was well underway and that the club was waiting for a response from Riot Games before making a decision about the GC roster. He also confirmed delays in salaries for the Rocket League team, which have since been resolved. Karmine Corp did not plan, for the time being, to leave Rocket League, but was exploring its options on the market. A year-long pause had been mentioned due to the lack of clarity regarding the holding of Worlds in 2027. An entry into new games had also been considered. The club was set to move into new premises in Paris and/or Berlin, with no final decision made. Kammeto specified that players could not join M8 before the end of their contract without a buyout payment, adding that he regretted having acted this way in the past. According to KCenter, Kammeto and Neo, the CEO of Vitality, called each other after the RL Worlds to agree on player buyouts. Gentle Mates had not initially sought to recruit the trio Vatira-Atow-Zen and was not part of the buyout agreement between Karmine Corp and Vitality. Finally, Karmine Corp's first offer was €23,000 per month per player, salary only, compared to €28,000 per month at Gentle Mates, nearly 22% more. KCenter added that the players were willing to choose Karmine Corp despite the lower salary, due to their history with the club. #KarmineCorp #RocketLeague #Esports (translated)

Tam disputed the idea that the leak benefited M8 or had been orchestrated by its board of directors. According to him, the players were ready to join Gentle Mates since September 27-28, while the organizations were negotiating privately around the BO and experiencing disagreements. He noted that discussions were still ongoing on October 4 at 1:30 AM, when the leak sparked a wave of reactions on Twitter, theories, and rumors that he deemed false. According to Tam, Gota had then made a few remarks on stream to try to calm the situation, but this had made it worse, in a context where some were looking to fuel a conflict between M8 and KC. Tam added that the negotiations had then stalled and that the leak had not benefited either organization. He strongly criticized the person behind the disclosure, deeming them particularly foolish. #M8 #GentleMates #eSport (translated)

The Formula One patient wrote that he believed Dietrich Mateschitz was watching everything "from above" and that the team's performance might have moved him.

According to him, the energy drink manufacturer built a better engine than Ferrari, Audi, and Honda. He described the situation as absolutely surreal. #F1 #Motorsport #RedBull (translated)
