ARE HASHTAG QUITTING ESPORTS??

[@HashtagHouse]

Once a tag, always a tag… couldn’t have said it better ourselves

[@HashtagUnited]

Welcome home boys 👊

[@AaronWatchesYoutube]

Welcome Home!!!

[@Ridz94]

Don’t forget to # itttttt!

[@HarryHesketh96]

This is gonna be miles better than grinding for tournaments behind the scenes with no reward, content szn

[@HashtagUnited]

👊

[@michaelhinchliffe1414]

Podcast is a great idea, don't know another like it, and could bring on owners of other clubs as guests

[@HashtagUnited]

Hopefully!

[@kristianconaghan5983]

Just not sir Jim Ratcliffe

[@benabecks7388]

Yes pls make a podcast. You both are so chill to listen too and so raw, unfiltert and truthfull.

[@Ayrzuh]

Its a shame most ePrem teams don't seem to be arsed. French and German teams seem to be taking it seriously and in turn their scenes are growing. Its been stale in the UK

[@2639theboss]

Sounds like what happened in CSGO. The top teams (at the time) signed a contract that essentially guaranteed them their cut, regardless of how well they performed, and a portion of those just stopped giving a shit. If EA made the deal with the prem that it sounds like, theyve basically guaranteed that itll be a shit league with minimal investment and a lack of competition. Plus FIFA is absolutely crap for competitive play. Too many RNG factors compared to most other top esports.

[@randomsh1t1471]

who gives a shit about watching Fifa?

[@slslskspslba2407]

What about Spain?

[@Mallon555]

Obviously disappointing that the direction of EAFC tournaments has created a massive barrier. But hashtag house will be an extremely exciting prospect and great to see 3 lads who bleed hashtag back where they belong. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for them 💙

[@HashtagHouse]

Anybody see that one coming?

[@LEOexe.]

This is exactly what gaming should be about, over the years its lost that love of being a game and become a job. Couldn't have gotten a better 3 lads to get this started up. Future is bright!

[@Andros95]

your long form sit down videos are always top tier. both well spoken, no waffling.

[@CKDefianT]

This could be a blessing in disguise in a way. Looking at the larger esports market you're seeing huge organisations taking steps back financially. VC money coming into the scene has slowed down because the pipe dream these people were sold has yet to come to fruition. As it stands at least the Fifa/EA FC scene hasn't imploded like the Overwatch league but at some point these game publishers are going to have to realise that following the traditional sports model isn't what esports needs or wants. Best of luck with whatever direction you decide to take it in the long term, you guys have been able to remain successful for a long time so I'm confident you'll recognise what works for you and what doesn't. I always appreciate the candour in these updates!

[@bigboybigdog8643]

E-Sports has always been a joke IMO. It’s cool, but no matter the game it’s always been about exploiting mechanics. At the end of the day it’s a computer program with defined boundaries. 100 tanks are going to beat 100 planes which are going to beat 100 ships. Even something like rocket league, with all the freedom it’s game physics allows is still exploitable.

[@HashtagUnited]

You get it 👊

[@eddycooper9583]

Phenomenal announcement 🤩 special shoutout to Stamps for smashing the edit 👏 & ofc WELCOME BACK 🫡

[@jorgeskywalker6630]

I like any spen content!! Whatever he does I watch, undisputed YT goat 🐐

[@alexdavotravel]

Have those 3 personalities back together making content under the hashtag umbrella is huge. It’s a shame about the esports side but I having those personalities associated with the club is great. Can’t wait to watch 👌

[@HashtagUnited]

Let us know what you think…we like bringing you this type of video!

[@CJM527]

Love them

[@Shotornot]

Bringing these decisions, announcements in a nuanced and respectfull way as content for the fans is part of the DNA of this club. Congrats on doing this consistently, lads.

[@Londonutdfc583]

Don’t quit

[@ryanbeckett6697]

My favourite type of video. This is what sets hashtag apart from the rest of football teams - don’t go changing!!

[@dwightvisser1811]

You guys have to make a podcast. I am so interested in how the club is run from the inside and why you guys make certain decisions. It would be a unique podcast in the podcast scene!

[@MultiMazdo]

It is a shame to hear the direction it's going isn't good, but I am excited to see some content from my 3 favourite e-sports players. Thanks for explaining to us, and being upfront with us, for sure one of the biggest reasons I love Hashtag! Up the Tags! #💛💙

[@DylanDoesStuff420]

Up the tags seeing these three return almost gives me nostalgia

[@SebOnGolf]

Big things coming #️⃣

[@HashtagUnited]

👊

[@casperqvistgaard2134]

I’ll be completely honest, I know KZbin doesn’t make a lot of money and I only really care about my own eSports scene.. But to support this football club I will also watch The Hashtag House, UP THE TAGS!

[@HonchoUNO]

Hashtag House could be a great connector between many assets of the influencer scene. Would be fire to bring some big names on there to shine some awareness on the channel and Hashtag itself. Gaming, Livestreams, IRL Content - I feel like the 3 can do it all! Nice to see the tags entering new avenues. #UpTheTags!!!

[@tjallday95]

9:46 RIP FutHead

[@TheBosborn]

Podcast approved! Owners-fan communication would be great, especially with the burst of celebrity buy ins. Fabregas at Hashtag, Dude Perfect at Burnley, Ryan and Rob at Wrexham, Natalie Portman and the girls at Angel FC, etc...

[@mdfootball9738]

We need a Faisal “Manj Dog” Manji cameo or commentary appearance?

[@oliverrrwhu9783]

Love these sit down videos, buzzing that the boys are back.

[@alonsomalpica586]

I was literally watching old hashtag harry content, so im very happy hes back, was part of my childhood 🫡❤

[@oscar6890]

If you do a podcast please do it on KZbin . You don’t need fancy graphics or even editing but being able to see your faces speaking makes it a lot easier for me to digest information and this might be similar with others.

[@ATWGrant]

What an absolutely horrendous decision from EA regarding qualification… pair that with the awful gameplay this year, can see there being a big downturn in interest in the pro scene across the board. Hashtag house and content creation is 100% the way forward

[@BrandonSmithEsports]

Great vid guys, congrats on the # house!

[@PapaClarkeTheGoat]

buzzing the hashtag boys are back 🔥

[@mdfootball9738]

Very fascinating. I’m currently doing an internship at a not-for-profit community football club in NZ who are very ambitious with their senior team. This provides some valuable insights

[@HashtagUnited]

Good luck 👊

[@earldy8634]

THE TRIO IS BACK? Always thought Hashtag eSports were at its peak when Harry, Tom, and Shawrey were in the team

[@tridentHalo]

Hashtag was the only reason I ever watched pro FIFA the people the community it built still follow all of the players now like Harry from the start too now

[@RonnyyyyAU]

The goats are back!

[@sloppygoo]

In Australia FIFA E-Sports is big just because it’s available to gamble on 24/7. Gambling companies are the ones that sponsor them because they make so much

[@Ronaldihldo]

Definite yes to a podcast and I'm really excited for the hashtag house vids. The first one was a banger the guys have great banter. I need a Spen special episode where you're taking the pens or have to be part in some way

[@rangersking6699]

We absolutely would kill for content about how the club is run..you saw how the Hummel video did, it outdid the #1 vs #2 game vs Sudbury from last year. We’re hungry for it!

[@Bilner]

Love these vids!! This is your lane spencer the podcast type set up is made for you, it can be your way of still doing content directly!

[@theblackwidowchronicles]

Spencer looks like 'Joe Exotic' with that dashing mullet...

[@ulisxo]

A hashtag podcast would be amazing. Please do it!

[@mattywwe90]

Yes please start a podcast it will be so awesome to listen to you guys

[@mikulitsi1819]

2:18 Omg Hashtag Tass. Jeez time flies

[@connormckay6096]

Love you guys! And would just love to listen to you more, please do the podcast!

[@asid28]

An expense-paying opportunity for an upcoming player is an incredible way to get noticed by contract-capable clubs. Not to mention the brand exposure that hashtag offers. Dont pass up on it!

[@shajafshivek]

So happy they are back don't forget to hashtag it ###

[@Jason-ps8ko]

Good to see you back together lads you will smash it

[@espben360]

Please do more videos like this! We want to learn more about what happens behind the scenes.

[@LeoShindogs]

1- this is a great idea. Can’t wait to watch the content. 2- they need to make a wheel of futune. 3- I want that podcast about the HTU behind the scenes. 4- I’m so proud of your initiative to start new things and experiment!! Cheers, Leo.

[@shanemcgaley8322]

The Wheel of Futune, that would be a epic. You could make it a 3 way tournament and add section of the wheel where they could sabotage their opponents. Their highest rated player suspended for their next match.

[@HashtagUnited]

Top man 👊

[@CookingUnderP]

The Sebby and Spenny show defs needs a daily Podcast 🎉🎉🎉

[@lleytonsmith5736]

I would love to hear a podcast boys, I love these sort of videos.

[@TheDeathJesters1337]

I'd love to see you guys branch out into different Esports. I understand Hashtag is and will always be cantered around football but I would cheer the hell out of a Rocket League team donning the tags colours for example.

[@HashtagUnited]

The issue is cost…

[@TheDeathJesters1337]

@@HashtagUnited Very understandable :( If we keep pounding up the leagues who knows what may happen one day ;) Keep up the fantastic work guys! Up the tags!

[@zd523]

hope they bring back some of your old series… but Hashtag Harry (can we call him that again?) starts them all with “STILL don’t have an intro”

[@wonkeydonkeydonkeychannel8566]

Great video as always keeping your fans up to date with what’s going on. A change could be an exciting opportunity for the boys and the tags 🎉

[@MikePAFC_]

Love the podcast idea!

[@yungtrashlord]

i do not mind if hashtag house is chaos, reminds me of like footasylum or 4.0 where essentially it's an organisation but people like harry pinero, darkest, yung filly and co get more creative freedom

[@omwr721]

You guys should consider signing a rocket league roster

[@_lazaran]

in general other competitive games

[@jamescallan3953]

Biggest shame is that Spen never thought of the Hashtag Hammers as a combo name for an amalgamation 😅

[@Obi-Wan-Ryobi]

Would love to see a podcast!

[@darkestdetail4441]

I would love a Hashtag United podcast, up the tags.

[@sidpanayi]

Podcast is a great idea!

[@holmsey2198]

I would love a once a week podcast or like a once every other week one just talking about the state of the club in and of the pitch

[@c0nn3]

Do a podcast, but please keep doing these kind of videos for the big stuff and announcement. I don't have a lot of time .

[@aidenc2210]

Would love a pod, cheers boys ❤️

[@lmatoso8699]

I would love a hashtag pod!!

[@Jonnygaming487]

Love the vids Spencer up the tags

[@NoryLevi]

Esport as a whole is not very profitable for an organization, it's profitable for the game developer and the players, but even big teams like C9 or Fnatic barely make a net positive

[@Dwayne-YKTV]

Thoughts on Harry, Tom and shawrey making hashtag house ?

[@JD_Genes]

Big fan of the podcast idea. #UTT

[@MrEdi422]

Fifa playa is coming back :00

[@thowland89]

Love more info on the running of the club etc

[@kierancook6714]

Would love a podcast tbh

[@Uzair_Of_Babylon465]

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍

[@theCranesUS]

Mullets have never been cool and still remain uncool.

[@erre2374]

Do a podcast similar to Jomboy’s “Mornin” podcast. It’s an awesome behind the scenes look at his company

[@willearles6017]

Would enjoy a podcast on operations of the club 👍

[@mikulitsi1819]

This should be interesting

[@ITMAN20]

how can i get in contact with you and make a podcast, we need these type of vids

[@tomfc08]

I need that podcast!

[@coryclayton4661]

Podcast would be dope

[@struebz]

A copy of EA FC with a pack of San Miguel. Man of culture

[@HashtagUnited]

Not forgetting the ham sandwich!

[@randomuser2724]

Podcast would bang.

[@nathanmufc9]

Definitely do a podcast

[@xXSulliesXx]

A podcast would be great!

[@777McLovin777]

Fifaplaya was actually prime youtube

[@felixthijssen]

Like the pod style

[@FutbolGalaxy]

Are you guys going to be doing UFL content once the game gets out?

[@HashtagUnited]

Sure will 👊

[@smulrooney]

I think the podcast is a great idea

[@archiewall124]

Hardly surprises me fifa Esports are declining and I’d expect it to be near enough dead in 3-5 years. How long are kids gonna be interested in watching other people play games? Everyone grows out of that phase. It’s the reason why basically every Minecraft KZbinr from the 2010s is gone.

[@boisesoccer]

What are you fellas going to do if you start your own podcast?

[@jonathanmelchor]

I try hashtag United maybe future

[@jonathanely3266]

Need a podcast Spen!

[@JGBR-bv8jo]

Hashtag hammers would slap btw 👀

[@Francis_1950]

UP THE TAGS FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺

[@finleywatton3817]

A BTS podcast would be incredible

[@Alliegator93]

what happend with pk humble? there was a hint of something financial?

[@Shotornot]

As an early fan of Hashtag all round, I think this may prove to be a strategic mistake in the future. E-sport maybe wasn't the innovation we have been expecting, but it's still a valuable addtion to the club. I follow KZbin/Facebook/X and coverage was never on par with the mens, women or even youth teams. This could have been different, imo. After all, we're still "Hashtag" United. Nevertheless: still a minute 1 fan. Let's go TAGS!

[@lcweng99]

Esports is expensive to maintain

[@HashtagUnited]

But the point is who pays for it?

[@LEOexe.]

They literally said in the video they weren't invited? How can they justify paying players to try and qualify to then play for premier league teams in the tournaments?

[@timbrichau]

podcast yes!

[@CoachKR_Bball]

Have Hashtag House bring back Wheel of Futune

[@johnbarre962]

I play for free spencer I would love it

[@stevepike2525]

Will subscribe after the video

[@amsiizluerta1837]

Just gotta say, love the new hashtag kit, and I know I ordered it from America as a medium but god damn not every American is obese ya know, shits 2 sizes too big

[@capez4558]

would love podcast as somone who is going into buisness
