I had the pleasure of living with
@OfficialBoaster
back at the time of Valorant’s release.
I knew straight away, that he was going to win a trophy in this game. Here’s why:
Back in summer 2020, myself and Jake were living in the Excel houses. League players had gone home for
Of course no doubt many are excited about
@s1mpleO
joining us, and i'm glad we could make this happen.
Just want to be clear as statement says.
This is for 1 month loan to cover us for Blast Showdown.
That gives us the flexibility to make the permanent roster decision needed
From the 1st round of qualifying, to taking down the world champs.
100% unbeaten
23-2 on maps...
I promise you this
@guildesports
valorant team is still only just getting started.
We're going for trophies this year.
I have never seen so many pros complain about a game than in
@FortniteGame
When you are a player who straight after a loss you immediately hop on twitter to moan, swear, have a go at another player EVERY SINGLE TIME...you look truly awful.
Be quiet and start doing your job.
@Otoris
@OfficialBoaster
My favourite was when he just looped an audio clip to say 'check the map' every 3 seconds when playing league, so he created a habit of doing so just like pros do.
Little ideas and things like that to cue himself/set habits
I like the new 3 split system for LEC
But I can't pretend that the sacrifice of losing the arena LAN finals for it isn't incredibly sad
@TeamBDS
are in their first ever final, and they should be doing it in front of 15,000 people
The finals should have the impetus and
We officially finish the Fortnite season as the number 1 ranked team in Europe.
Not bad for our first year in it
Shoutout to the goats in
@hentvv

@JannisZFN
and
@rezonay_
for getting us here.
Special mention to
@flikk
and
@taysonFN
for their former time with us
Ok I’ll say it
Why does OCE get two spots at the RL majors and MENA one?
The quality of
@FalconsEsport
,
@RuleOneGG
and
@TwisMinds
is much higher than the OCE teams.
…and that’s showed in the majors…consistently. Again today even
No disrespect to OCE, it’s just the results.
Extremely excited to announce I have joined
@FalconsEsport
as their new Global director of esports and European director of operations
Wanted my next role to really push me out of my comfort zone, and so grateful to
@Msdossary7
for giving me that chance!
Ok so i've pulled off some things in my esports career,
but i think putting this roster together with
@MuhAlmutairi
has been one of the craziest things i've ever been a part of.
We've made the greatest Apex squad to ever exist.
Welcome

It’s funny how universities wont offer a ‘football’ degree, or a ‘rugby degree’
But they will offer an ‘esports’ degree
It’s almost as if they know they can take advantage of students and grab their wallets.
I honestly detest this movement by unis that’s happening right now.
His first name is Joran not Jordan
His surname is Scheffer not Scheffe
We came 7th in LEC split not 9th
Joran is not known for his Lissandra-literally played it once competitively whilst under us in past 1.5years
Yo
@GeorgeCGed
you ok there bud? Maybe do some research first?
Lowering the age of competition for rocket league esports to 13 is a very bad precedent.
I understand the market for the game hits a young audience, however exposing 13 year olds to professional sporting environments is a big risk to their education, social ability and
Funny, i just downloaded a 'Dummy's guide to esports player management'
Was such a waste of money though
It was just a blank page with only the words 'Don't be like TSM' in the middle of it.
I have decided to leave my role at
@guildesports
I am incredibly proud of what we as just a small team of 4 in
@GeorgeHughes
and
@psych_chek
(with
@megan_teare
in Jan 2022) managed to achieve in just short of 2 years.
I truly thank them for believing in me to help build a dream
I cannot believe it.
Champions of the ESL ONE major
I fucking love our Dota team.
Thank you so much to them for bringing this home.
I still cannot believe it, winning on home soil.
LETS GOOOOO
THEY'VE DONE IT! 🏆🏆🏆
$7,000,000 in the bag!
No matter what happens next,
@FalconsEsport
have secured first place in the
#EsportsWorldCup
2024 Club Championship!
Remember
@MaryValorant
?
You know, the most cracked female player that Valorant has even seen?
Yeah she's back....and she's a Falcon now.
Honestly, just super happy to see her back playing some competitive val, let alone under us.
GameChangers Worlds is ours for the taking...
I’m really starting to think that one of the biggest issues Riot Valorant suffers with when it comes to esports is
….overthinking
‘What if this opens up to slots being sold?’
‘What if it doesn’t represent the top team performance?’
‘What if the players don’t find an org?’
All
Hey everyone. This situation is very unfortunate and none of us wanted this outcome. We designed Ascension hoping to see new teams and players joining our International Leagues every year, and it’s disheartening to see this happening in year one. That said, I want to share some

We did it, cannot believe

Critical we get off to a good start and get ahead!!!
Perfect end to week 2 of EWC
Let’s go
@TeamFalconsGG
Congratulations to
@theAllianceGG

2nd for us. Couldn’t quite close it out but the guys gave it everything.
Still a good 600 points secured for us in the club championship.
Ill say it again, I love the match point system XD

Just…can’t quite find the words right now
Just so many emotions from the last two years of work with this incredible team.
Just surreal
We had a quality fortnite footy session in today to get the heart pumping and blood flowing.
Featuring:
@flikk
@anasfnbr
@hentvv
@TN25_
@Nolystic
and a whole bunch of guild staff!
We’re gonna ignore the part where
@flikk
’s skills put me on the floor.
Aren’t Sky a leading sponsor and fully invested into a huge UK esports org?
This is a very poor moment and take from
@SkyNews
but we’re used to it in UK esports
That kid had an incredible moment and should be celebrated for something that required so much focus and dedication.
It is the Year of Our Lord 2024 and
@SkyNews
is still telling people who play video games to go outside and get some fresh air, notably on the same day they’re praising a 16-year-old darts player
Sometimes it can feel in uk esports that for every step forward we take, a moment like this is two steps back.
But today should not take away from the great work the streamers and other members of TGH put in to give the grassroots uk esports moments to smile about.

Extremely excited to to say that i've joined
@EXCEL
.
Since this path began i have always said that i wanted to find ways to grow UK Esports, and now that's viable.
Lot's of work to do on both internal ops and the performance side, but can't wait to crack on with it all!
We want to welcome
@GrievanceGR
as our new Head of Operations.
We look forward to working with him as we establish ourselves as a force within European esports.
#ThriveTogether
4 games played. 4 games won
Score record broken
LAN record broken
100points over 2nd place
And all in the group stage
But now it means nothing, as we reset and tomorrow, we fight for the trophy.

Our first signing as

was Youngbuck. Committing to a coach down structure, built around both ours and his vision, together to create the strongest roster possible.

Whole squad is shaping up super well coming into the final FNCS of season!
We talk about from a performance standpoint how important it is to manage your schedule and be on time for your meetings, practice etc.
The problem is after working to install that mentality, it can backfire if you're literally 30 seconds late to a player meeting XDDD

What if we kinda like…won everything in Valorant this year.
Like both VCT masters and champs stuff, but also all the Game Changers stuff too…
Man wouldn’t that be nice.
Dear
@BradleyWalsh
I'd love the chance to run through what esports is and how they work. Let's use this as a great opportunity to educate rather than seeing TV and the twitter bots bash esports in the UK as they always do due to moments like this.
Perhaps we could take you
One of my proudest moments in Esports thus far bringing
@JoeyYoungbuck
to the team.
On speaking to Joey, we were super aligned on the project ahead and hence it was the perfect fit for us! Cannot wait for us to work on the season ahead.
Big things coming!
#thrivetogether
Over past month or so for
@Splyce
:
- OWL franchise spot and
@TorontoDefiant
launch
- Splyce/TD Blizzcon Party for 500+ people
- SC2 World championship 2nd place
- Smite World Championship winners
- Promotion to RLCS in rocket league
- LEC franchise spot
Onto 2019!
I've officially been at
@TeamFalconsGG
for over 2 years now.
When I think back to where we were two years ago, with the goals we set to complete, I'm nothing but proud and impressed of what the entire team here has created.
Now let's finish out the month with winning EWC!
All I can say right now is, I’m working with the best staff in the world and so proud of the team we’ve created
Through all the low moments and the sleepless nights, we made it happen
Congratulations to them all <3

Let's help our boys make history tomorrow in this Valorant final.
@Platform_EXP
. Be there at 3.30PM UK time.
I'll see you there with staff and other supporters. Let's make as much noise as possible
Let's talk
@FNCompetitive
for a second.
Fortnite wanted to take themselves super serious as an esport. Hence they invested so much into prize pool, world cup etc.
Today, pro's make up almost all the streaming and the competitive side is what is carrying the game.
Dear esports twitter
You don’t always have to come up with some funny meme, or edgy take, or super bright graphic over every single major world event for the sake of impression farming
So maybe today, just today, you could just tweet something basic, respectful and chill yeah?
This weekend for
@TeamFalconsGG
Dallas
-Fortnite 🏆 1st place
-Overwatch 2nd place
-Tekken
@Farzeen_tk
qualified for EWC
-Apex, 1st day 1, 2nd day 2, looking cracked
-Valorant GC 2-0 their match with new player
@MaryValorant
Not a bad weekend at all!
All great prep for EWC
Me and
@NathanEdmonds
(mainly him) have started a discord for esports industry peeps to chat and play games together.
It's very causal. An excuse to meet new people from the industry and help find 5 stacks so we can do what we do best - play video games.
DM me for disc link.
Whilst large UK orgs we know stand strong (excel, fnatic, guild, MnM etc), it is often mid tier orgs that give us the lifeblood of a local esports market
To see X7, Rix, Lucent and more all ceasing operations at same time is so incredibly saddening and concerning for UK esports
To all the
@EXCEL
staff and players
To all the
@MisfitsGG
staff and players
To all the fans
To all those behind the scenes
To all those who watched the stream
To Neosurf
Thank you for today. An amazing day for U.K. esports and the start of something special.
YES WE WON A TROPHY.
LET'S GOOOOO
@hentvv
1st, 3rd, 4th and 14th for our players!
YES MAN WE DID IT!!!!!
@hentvv
@anasfnbr
@JannisZFN
@rezonay_
you guys are so good!
Oh and we're rank 1 again in fortnite btw. HELL YES
Welcoming the absolute GOAT of street fighter.
So insanely happy to welcome
@_MenaRD__
to the team. I know how keen both sides were to make this happen, and to see such similarities in our performance goals.
Honestly so insanely happy to have him be a part of the Falcons squad
Last night at the
@EXCEL
hq launch, I was reminded just how many people are now working across the U.K. esports community from all different areas, backgrounds and companies
Compare this to 5-6 years ago and you can’t help but smile
The future is truly bright for this community
Tough to talk without emotion at this time.
I'm sorry to all the
@EXCEL
fans who've supported us the whole way. We've let you down.
There are positives vs to last year to take - but ultimately there's work needed than initially realised.
We will get there - i promise you that
You are a clown
@LucasRojo
I will always welcome some smack talk and some banter. That adds to the joy of esports
But implying our players our robbing us? Yeah maybe stick to focusing on your own team mate.
Now if you don’t mind, we got a final to play in.
Following a couple of internal changes at
@EXCEL
, happy to announce that i'll also now be taking on the role of Interim Head of Performance.
Will be leading
@EXCEL
's off season strategy and creating the performance plan as we move into 2020. Very excited to crack on with this!
I am stepping away from EULCS management to take this new role with
@Splyce
as their 'Director of Operations.' I will greatly miss working with this LCS team as they've been fantastic, but excited to move to USA to take Splyce to the next level! It's been a pleasure Berlin.
Fair to say we had the crowd today
Amazing to see all the
@TeamFalconsGG
fans and creators turn out to support the team
Hopefully we can bring home that trophy tomorrow.
I am so tired of seeing Andrew Tate on my timeline
Why is he associated with gaming? Why is he associated with esports?
Ignoring the disgusting things he’s said for a second, I just don’t understand why he’s even a part of esports.
He said gaming was bad?
THIS MAKES NO SENSE
7 years ago today I graduated from
@lborouniversity
with a masters in chemical engineering
Now I’m a director for the biggest esports organisation in MENA
Life really can take you in weird and wonderful directions.
You just have to be willing to grab it and take those risks.
Not gonna lie, sitting here a lot bit teary eyed for the
@Splyce
squad making it to worlds.
To
@pcdv8r
@MacCLol
@Duke_Esports
and
@Feiron42
, it was a long two year plan but you guys utterly smashed it.
You really deserved that one. Time to show worlds what
@Splyce
has got.
I think there’s a possibility to create this level of esports fandom love for an org in the U.K.
we have the love for games and the sporting fan history through football and the like.
But it needs one of the
@Sidemen
to start the organisation.
That level of influencer.
