The british caster/host of former  Intel Extreme Masters events in the Starcraft 2 field has left the german based organization.

The announcement was made by the caster himself in a post over at  ESL, where he stated:

"My time with ESL came at a point in my life where all of the bricks fell into place and they offered me the chance to do the things I loved doing.

I will be forever grateful for the opportunity given to me by good friends such as Ralf Reichert, Tobias Grieser and Sven Hoffmann.

My time at ESL has seen enormous growth, not only for esports but for ESL too, and I'd like to think I played a small role in some of that.

One of the many reasons this was such a hard decision is because I have had the true pleasure of working with some of the finest minds in esports over the last two and half years.

Working alongside Michal Blicharz, James Lampkin and Oliver Lossef among many, many talented people has been a real honour and I have learned a great deal from them."

Shortly after this, the announcement was made that,  Paul 'ReDeYe' Chaloner has joined the british based organization Gfinity where he will step in the shoes of "Head of Broadcasting", he will be in charege of future events that will run under  Gfinity flag.

CEO of  Gfinity,  Neville Upton stated:

"Paul’s arrival marks an important step in our journey to becoming the number one choice for gamers and esports enthusiasts internationally.

With ten years’ experience of working in the sector he has developed an unrivalled knowledge and understanding of what it takes to run a world class esports programme and we are thrilled to have him on board.{linkr:related;keywords:events;limit:5;title:More+News}

According the insider's information,  Google Inc bought the popular video streaming service company  Twitch for $1 billion cash (without involving the shares and stocks). Both sides didn't make any statements so far, but the details of the deal will be announced soon.
