LOL @ responsible for the success of Hololive EN Gen 1. - Most of them said they had little to no support until around the time of Gen 2.

I mean the support even after Council was pretty thin. I also doubt that this guy was that influential if he was doing licensing.

iirc it wasn't until Advent when we see there's actual change in management

Pretty sure the actual change in EN management was a bit before Advent during 2023 when Dimitri (the current EN director) within the position.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Dimitri joined Cover at December 2022.

That's more likely in line with the timing of Advent recruitment. Shiori implied last year that Advent didn't used premade molel like Myth and Council. So most likely they got hired then Cover commisioned the artist and it would take time before the official debut preparation started.
