"This action is taken due to mutual disagreements on [a] strategic level. We want to use the occasion to thank Mr. Wegter for his contributions to the development of ESNation. The parties have decided not to comment further on the issue. The recruitment proces (sic) leading to engage a new CEO has been initialized."

Mr. Wegter was Managing Director of Lovefilm Germany and a member of the company`s senior leadership team in London. He co-founded Denmark’s leading online DVD Rental Company, Digitarian, and grew the business until its acquisition in 2005 by LOVEFiLM.com.

E-Sport Fans International (ESFI), a new competitive gaming media site unveiled several weeks ago, has announced that effective immediately, Jason Bass will be the new President of the company. Jason Bass has been involved in e-sports for over a decade as both a player and executive.

"I am extremely pleased and excited about bringing Jason on board," said Brent Ruiz, ESFI founder and VP of Operations. "The vast amount of experience that he brings with him will be integral to the development of ESFI. I cannot wait to see what we can do together. If there was one missing piece that could make ESFI any more exciting than it already is, that piece is Jason Bass."

His professional experience in competitive gaming started with GotFrag in early 2003. He helped make GotFrag a thriving business and much of what is today, staying as the VP of Operations until early 2007. After leaving GotFrag, he took a position with the Championship Gaming Series as the Director of Online where he was responsible for all of The CGS' online activities including the CGS website and all of the team websites.

"The competitive gaming community is in need of an independent news outlet and I am looking forward to leading the organization that will do just that," said Bass. "After leaving the CGS, I was thinking of different ways to get back involved in competitive gaming and after seeing what Brent and his team had built, there was no doubt that this was the right place for me to be. I am very pleased to have been offered this position by the founders of the company and look forward to an exciting future with ESFI."
