Juked is social network bringing esports fans together around their shared passions
Juked is building a new social network for esports with the north star mission of bringing fans closer together in an inclusive, all-in-one environment and reduce toxicity from esports discussion. Today, esports discussion and communities are fragmented across Twitter, Reddit, Discord, and Twitch chat - and esports culture has long been mired by the toxicity that comes with anonymity on the internet. We know that esports fans are sick and tired of "hot take" culture on Twitter and the spam, misogamy, and hatred that is all too common in Twitch chat. This all changes with the launch of the Juked app this Fall. We're bringing together everything fans need to follow, discuss, and engage with the esports they love. Juked was founded by esports veterans Ben "FishStix" Goldhaber and Chris "ChanManV" Chan in 2019.
