I'm still in absolute awe. To all the hololive fans that came to DreamHack Melbourne in person or watched from home, thank you for supporting us.
It's been so fulfilling working on this concert and my heart is very full right now.
I CAN FINALLY RAVE ABOUT THIS 🥳
I am incredibly excited to be bringing hololive content to DreamHack Melbourne, but to have it also be a 3D concert is a dream come true.
AUSSIE KAIGAI-NIKIS, RISE UP AND SUPPORT YOUR OSHIS!

Melbourne 2022...
This event was by far the most challenging one we've done, with many hurdles to overcome. Despite that, the amazing team at
@ESLAustralia
put on the biggest and best celebration of gaming and esports the region has ever seen.
It wasn't that long ago since Riot shut down the OPL.
Not even 5 months later, we've wrapped Week 1 of its successor. The community has come out in full force to show that competitive League of Legends is still well and truly alive in the region.
Welcome home!🥳
Week one of the LCO was a success! GGWP to the teams and we'll see you next week! 😍
Kinda sucks we have to wait SIX days for another show but whatever.. 🙄
📺
As Australia slowly begins to open up, hopefully, we quickly see live events return to our cities as well. As they do, I'll be on the lookout for eager beavers to jump back into the fray of working some of the biggest and best events in the country! 🦫
Keep your eyes peeled! 👀
We've got some exciting opportunities for broadcast talent in the League of Legends space.

Things I won't miss

Getting a fat dub in this tiebreaker means OCE will, for the first time ever, make it out of Group Stage at an international event.

, bloody send it!
#MSI2021
Here's a rare response to esports drama from me.
Every individual role within an esports production is critical to the end product.
There's a reason why these roles exist within every event.
No one role is "less important" and the absence of any of them is a detriment.

TLDR;
@kydrasaur
and I's engagement rings were sent via
@australiapost
and it needed to be handed to me and signed for - no authority to leave. The driver signed for the package themselves and left it in our mail room, where a different postie knocked it into the bin.
My body is battered and broken, but it's all worth it to be able to see and hear the roar and chants of such a passionate crowd. Seeing everyone have a bloody great time is what gets us through the grind.
You're all absolute legends. Even you, Doyle.

Half of me feels very called out by everyone tagging me as soon as the hololive announcement came out. The other half is too excited to care how much of a public menance I must be with my holo spam 😂
CCTV Video 3 Upload - Another postie comes by to drop off mail. He moves our packages for no reason, causing the engagement rings to fall into the bin. This occurred on a Friday and we didn't see this footage until Monday. Waste was collected from the building over the weekend.
What a way to close out the first
@LCO
Split!
We started building this new league at the start of 2021 and 3 months later, we've qualified a team through to
#MSI2021
. We've built on the league week to week and it has all come together in the Finals. We hope you enjoyed the show!
CCTV Video 2 - The large brown box is another one of my packages. The engagement rings are the small package placed on top. A third package gets placed next to it and at the end of the video you can see the postie leave in the reflection, without anyone signing for the package.
They've said they spoke to the driver who claimed he handed it to someone and that they signed for it. They requested to see the CCTV footage I have and then said that they "are unable to locate" the parcel and wrote it off without any solutions being offered.
That's a wrap on this year's ESL

Oceanic International Championships!
What an amazing weekend of competiton. Pokemon has one of the most friendly and welcoming communties I've seen.
The

Later that afternoon, a second postie came to make deliveries moved our packages to the side, causing our rings to fall into the trash bin next to it and then they walked away. All of this was recorded on CCTV and

After a massive week that was DreamHack Melbourne, the internal batteries are finally recharging.
What an amazing week it was, this is the most rewarding event I've ever been a part of. From the conversations that I have had with people at the event, many feel the same.
Excited to announce that I will also be one of the fabulous people attending

(Except I'll be locked away in the back rooms so a very different experience to all the lovely creators we will have there...)
The package needed to be handed to me and signed for by me - ie no authority to leave was granted for the package. The postie left it unattended in our mail room with our other packages and signed for it themselves.

This sums up my life:
Arrived back in Sydney last night, Went to the physio this morning to get myself back up to 100% before jumping back to the grind. Few minutes into the session - "You had another event, didn't you? Your shoulders and back are all kinds of messed up". 😑😑😑
