History
Development of the onGamers project began on July 16, 2013, when the former chief marketing officer of SteelSeries, Kim Rom, was appointed to the position of Vice President of eSports at CBS Interactive.[3] The onGamers website was released in a beta version on November 7, 2013, with the announcement of the retirement of the CBS eSports brand and the recruitment of a content creation staff.[1]
Violation
After breaching the terms of the social news site reddit by engaging in vote manipulation, the site was banned from the service for a minimum of a year.[4] Following the ban, the site experienced a 50% drop in visits, and was 'on the brink of disaster'.[5]
Rebranding
In December 2015, onGamers was quietly retired, with the site and all articles redirecting to GameSpot's League of Legends section.[6][7] All online properties were also rebranded as G|League.[8][9]
