I don’t understand what it is about these midia outlets with their allergy to the word “and”
It isn’t print you don’t have to say space or ink just put “and” in the title.
This time still could be easily rewritten to make more sense and if short length is there goal then you could rewrite it to be even shorter and it would still make more sense
“An influencer-based esports league has imploded over NFT controversy”

I’m reading it now and I still don’t understand it. Was the league hiding?

They didn’t disclose the fact that the passes would be using blockchain technology, apparently. Quite why they thought this was necessary is not clear, but it’s not inherently a bad thing.
Unfortunately for them, however, blockchain/cryptocurrency/NFTs are all interchangeable according to the general public, so this has created a bit of a backlash.

From the quotes in the article, they didn’t just “not disclose” so much as “lied”. Regardless of subject matter, when someone cares enough to make sure something they don’t want to be associated with isn’t involved and then they find out it actually is, they have a right to be upset.

They didn’t lie, though.
The quote you refer to said:
Which is true: blockchain ≠ crypto. While it is the technology that crypto and NFTs are based on, blockchain can be used for a wide variety of different purposes.

Did the implosion cause the reveal?
