Nope. Curse owned the site when it was created. They were bought by Amazon/Twitch. Then Fandom bought it from them. Just because people worked here doesn't mean they "owned" it. There's a big difference.
Curse didn’t own Muthead / Futhead when it was created. Legend sold it to Curse in ‘13. Fandom bought Curse in ‘19. Legend and Rocketz still ran it until ‘21 when they cashed out again and started MUT.gg. Him and Rocketz currently dba Stormstrike Inc. absolutely own MUT.gg.
Muthead and Futhead were founded by different people at different times under very different circumstances. But to make your story work, I guess it helps to conflate stories and people. Legend isn't even mentioned in either of your articles.
Nobody mentioned in the first article you linked is Rocketz, Legend, or myself.
Muthead was indeed founded under Curse's ownership. The company owned it from the first day Muthead existed. Why would anyone need to lie about this? lol
Rocketz owns mut.gg now, you got that part half right. Legend or myself do not.
I don't know where you get your information from or how you come to the conclusions that you do, but they are so far off base.
You are saying Dan Paulson who as referenced founded MUT.gg via Stormstrike with Rocketz, and is also referenced below as founding Futhead is NOT Legend? Crazy. Tell us more to set the record straight.
If Curse bought the site in 2013 (per the article) but the site started in 2011/2012, how does this make sense?
Yes, that's what I'm telling you. I'm not sure what more to tell you other than Dan and Legend are 2 completely different people. And no, my name isn't Dan either.
Rocketz and I started a forum site called MUTevolution (Evo for short) in 2011 that had a few hundred active members. It was a very small site with a few forum sections and a live chat box. That's pretty much it, nothing fancy. There was no player database, lineup builder, mini-games, or any bells and whistles like you saw on MH before or see today. After acquiring Futhead, Curse was looking to build more sports sites and they found Rocketz from the small site he had built (Evo). They hired him to build Muthead for them and since they were a big company, that meant the MUT community could get a way better site than just a few forum sections and chat box like Evo had. That's where MH came from and that's why you see data from 2011/12, BEFORE "Muthead.com" was actually created. Before you say Rocketz "sold" Evo, he really didn't. Curse wanted him, not the existing site. Moving the few hundred existing members was the right thing to do instead of leaving them with a dead URL and deleting the previous site's history. Evo itself probably wasn't worth a $50 Best Buy gift card lol.
It's more impressive how nearly nothing he said is even remotely close to true. Why let facts get in the way of a good story though?
Then what happened? You guys sold the site and then years later made a new one right?

Thought you guys owned the site when it was created. My bad.
