Dot Esports is one of several esports websites owned by Gamurs Group, an Australia-based company, which bought it from the Daily Dot in 2016. Dot Esports founder and Editor in Chief Kevin Morris said he is excited to be editing Wolf again. The move, both by Wolf and by Dot Esports, is significant in that the layoffs at ESPN sparked discussions online about what the network’s decision meant for esports coverage as a whole. Morris said Dot Esports “lucked out” last year, as the site’s traffic grew enough to offset plummeting ad rates. “This space took me, a once very lower-middle-class kid in Georgia, to become a very successful journalist,” Wolf said.
