More recently, Doublelift suddenly moved back to TSM. Its purely common for friends to get coaching positions or even siblings recruiting eachother to teams, as was the case with Chipsa being recruited by the Overwatch Team Fusion which his brother coached. Many esports organizations are created by players themselves and through the company growing they recruit friends, ex-teammates and relatives. Nepotism is hard to even define in an esports environment. In most cases, the evidence is circumstantial and involved parties let things slide way too often.
Conflicts of interest, player poaching, favoritism, unjust rulings and down right bad practice are commonplace across the industry. In the esports world, both corruption and nepotism are almost impossible to prove or brought to justice.
Scandals regarding nepotism, corruption, match-fixing and unregulated gambling are tainting the industry on a regular basis. Players’ unions, agents and lawyers for sports contracts, and government-enforced regulations are examples of areas in which esports are beginning to develop but still have a long way to go.
The infrastructure and common practices that are taken for granted in traditional sports have yet to fully develop in esports. Despite its accelerated growth over the past decade, the esports industry is still in its infancy.
