League of Legends FlyQuest top-laner Gabriël ‘Bwipo’ Rau recently contributed to discussions around equality in esports. Did he do so by finding ways to support women’s esports scenes? Highlighting some of the incredible women working in esports? No.

On August 26, Endpoint co-founder and CEO, Adam Jessop, made a series of posts outlining Endpoint’s current relationship with esports.

The statement was no surprise to fans of Endpoint’s esports division. November 2024 saw Endpoint remove itself from the RLCS for the 2025 season, before the decision was taken to pause its Counter-Strike division in February 2025.
