Disguised Toast esports endevaour cost him around $1 million in 2023

Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang claims that his esports organization is on track to spend around $1 million this year as it cost twice as much to run the Valorant teams than he had planned.

Prominent streamer Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang posted a snapshot of DSG’s operating costs, which amount to a total of  $992K for the entire year. According to the Tweet, quite a bit of money is being spent to finance DSG’s operation, and the organization is still far from making any money to cover some expenses. The snapshot provided by the streamer displays a blank line in the section of revenue, but it is unclear whether this is because Disguised Toast wants the amount to stay confidential or because the organization does not currently anticipate making any money.

Disguised Toast’s esports endeavor thus far

Carrying a strong desire to own an esports team, Disguised Toast entered the world of esports in January of this year with the acquisition of an experienced Valorant roster. After dominating in the open qualifiers and moving on to the NA Challengers League, DSG had a lackluster performance in Challengers Split 1 and North America Face Off, finishing eighth and seventh, respectively.

DSG acquired Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker—who was regarded as one of the best players in 2022—before the second Challengers NA split, making the team a fan favorite and a top contender to go to the playoffs. Despite Yay’s addition, DSG conceded seven straight losses, ending the split in the last place with a 0-7 record. Disguised Toast addressed the poor start of his Valorant team and disclosed that he had been having second thoughts about running an esports organization because of his lack of prior experience in the field.

DSG’s expansion from one to three rosters

Three months after he originally entered esports with his first Valorant team, Disguised Toast announced the signing of a female lineup to compete in the VCT Game Changers. In May, Disguised Toast dipped his toes into League of Legends, securing a slot in the North American Challengers League, which is League of Legends’ second-tier league.

The streamer may have trouble acquiring good and seasoned players for his squad, though, as the league is going through a difficult time right now amid the controversy between developer Riot Games and the LCS Player Association. However, with the addition of the high-profile player Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker and a Game Changers lineup, it must be challenging for Disguised Toast to run an esports organization, especially without any prior experience.
