Team EnVyUs' managing director Mike "Hastr0" Rufail detailed why his team decided to be part of WESA in a blog post Saturday and gave some insight into the goals of the organization.

Hastr0 noted that while prize money is a good revenue stream for top players, it doesn't mean much to newer players who aren't at the level necessary to win majors yet. Some league organizers have begun offering participation and performance bonuses, and according to Hastr0, nV gives all that money directly to its players.

However, Hastr0 also stated that the organizations usually don't see any money from leagues, and participating in games is exclusively money-losing venture, and Hastr0 says that organizations often aren't even aware of how much money a tournament or league is making.

"The money you spend and generate watching these events is all at the disposal and in the control of the leagues and tournament organizers," he said "We do not have audit rights and we are not able to see their revenues generated from the events we play in."

According to Hastr0, this is where WESA comes in.

"WESA is the first association to offer players and organizations both a direct line into some revenues generated from the streams I listed above," he said.

No specific numbers are mentioned by Hastr0, but he does say that the one of the reasons nV became part of WESA is that WESA offered to share this information and money with the organizations without them requesting it.

"They were the first and truly had a vision to help the players and organizations to change the standard of how we are treated," he said.

"With television broadcasts looming and increasing interest from non-endemic, large brand sponsors, the players and organizations would really be setting themselves up to get hosed and cut out if the old standard is still in place when this happens," he said.

Hastr0's post comes a day after the formation of WESA was announced on May 13. WESA is an organization headed by ESL and has partnered with eight major esports organizations including nV. According to the organization, their aim is to "create an open and inclusive organisation to oversee standardized tournament regulations, player representation as well as revenue sharing for teams." However, the organization has come under fire on social media.

Hastr0's post responds to some of these criticisms, but says that his reason for writing the post was not to sway opinions.

"I didn't write this piece to change your mind or make you accept the idea of WESA," he said. "I wrote it to make you think more about what is happening and provide some detail into what I think is a great shift in standards for the esports industry. One that will certainly benefit players and teams if other league and tournament organizers begin to evolve in the same way."
