There are many players who dream of making it into an official Esports team. But, the competition is quite high, and the margins quite narrow. Even the teams themselves are struggling. We’ve seen the dire state of FaZe Clan and the massive layoffs at The Guard. Having an Esports team is very expensive, especially in a rising game like Valorant. But passionate creators like Toast still find a way.
Disguised Toast introduced his DSG team to Valorant during the first Split of NA. It was a heavy undertaking. With salaries and other expenses quite extravagant, it surely took up an ample amount of money. Toast once even stated that his Valorant team would cost him half a million a year!
Still, he went on with his endeavour. Though they have been having a bumpy journey, Toast is trying his max to prove the proficiency of his team. He even brought in the ‘El Diablo’ of Valorant, Yay. But alas, the team still did not even make it to the playoffs. But Toast’s Esports admiration did not stop there. Now he has expanded his DSG brand into League of Legends as well.

But all these risky financial decisions are catching up to him and giving him quite an expensive headache. According to the latest reports the Offline TV member stated that DSG would cost him $1,000,000 by the end of the year! A single creator-backed team spending this much money is quite a difficult situation. DSG is also not currently getting a dig at the prize pool of the competitions.
Coupled with that, the lack of brand sponsorships makes situations even more difficult. Thus, Disguised Toast direly needs the team to show up and make a mark, otherwise, it would be financially difficult for him.

We can expect Toast to live up to his words when he announced his Valorant team that he would back the team for at least two years. So, fans are currently expecting DSG in Valorant and now also in League of Legends to make some noise during that timeframe.
