recently went full-time content creator, but when I saw his setup I was APPALLED!
Today is his birthday, and he has no idea, but while he was away at Dreamhack ATL, we gave him a big makeover 😬
Since I won

I survived the surgery!
I had to have a mass surgically removed from the front of my neck. Mass got attached to the skin so lost a big chunk of skin getting it out. More painful that I expected but am doing ok.
Now for the real stress of waiting for biopsy results. 🤞🙏
The highlight of
#DHMontreal
was getting to meet / spend time with the Killa family! It’s truly incredible to see a family be so supportive and involved in the FGC!
I’m so impressed by the poise, focus, and discipline of
@212Ninjakilla
- Momma / Poppa Killa trained him well!
I’d like to put together a replacement event for the players who no longer get to participate.
If I make them free to enter, and donate $1K starting prize pot to each, would you be interested in replacement events for MK11 and KI?
I really hurt someone I love yesterday. Joey’s journey is such a heavy part of my life. It hurts more than anything that I hurt him. My lack of situational awareness here was astounding, just incredibly and unbelievably stupid. There is no excuse. I’m sorry to Joey, I’m sorry to
My sincerest apologies to
@KingGambler18
, I really wanted him to win! I went overboard, it cost him, and I will deservedly be roasted for it. LCQ is on me. From here, I am not sure.
4 years ago I had a long chat with
@ThalionFTW
about why the best player in the world wasn’t at EVO, and reached out to sponsor him as it was a complete travesty we never got Ninja v Sonic at EVO.
Today he finally fulfilled his destiny to become the MK11 🐐 and I couldn’t be
Pretty sure I spent more money out of my own pocket for the competitive MK11 community than any other individual on the planet. I LOVE MK & I LOVE THE KOMMUNITY!!
This news makes sense but still makes me sad. Thanks for the good times, MK11. I did my best for you! 🥂
NetherRealm is now focusing on its next project and after more than two years of supporting Mortal Kombat 11, DLC for the game, including characters, has come to an end.
Didn’t get the W, but got damn close. Not shabby for a first season of competitive NRS play for both
@212Ninjakilla
and
@ConsoleGamingLG
. Ggs, we go agane for season 2.
So I’ve been a little quiet lately - the reason is because we did a thing... finally!
Excited to finally buy my first house with

It’s very inconsistent with the original designer’s intent. Jo is supposed to be a femme fatale super agent. Normally I don’t like this kind of discourse, but this is just not consistent with the series. My Jo wears makeup and rocks a bob. She has style and flash. This ain’t it.
I have no interest / commentary on this situation with the Prince Panther tourneys, but the feed is unavoidable.
That said, I / CGL are able and willing to step in and host / produce any of these tournaments if needed. No drama, just some good old fashioned kompetition.
No EVO for me this weekend. Instead I’ll be having surgery tomorrow.
To be honest, I’m very nervous about it and it is why I’ve been radio silent for awhile.
Really hoping everything turns out okay and I can get back to a normal life again soon.
I don’t want to pretend like I have any idea what’s it’s like to be black in America.
What I do know is what it’s like to be white in America. I wake up most days with no major concerns. I drive without concern of being pulled over. I get pulled over w/out concern for my life.
NRS community holds a special place in my heart. We will continue dedicated support for NRS titles throughout 2020 following Konsole Kombat II. I truly hope the community has enjoyed what we’ve offered this past year! We’ll do our best to provide more options for the scene!
Slayer is out here making this look easy, but most have no idea how much work he’s putting into do everything he’s doing.
The difference with
@MFSlayer
right now is he’s consistent, relentless, and brings only positive vibes.
And oh man do I LOVE to see it!!
W day! Both the boys COOOOOKED!!
And with that day one of Pro Kompetition Finals is complete, and I am one happy fella!
Tomorrow’s top 8 is about to be 🔥 🔥
Season 1 for MK11 was an incredibly fun and crazy journey. Hosted some great tournaments, forged some great relationships, and signed some tremendous talent.
I’m thankful for everyone who took part in this journey - it was an experience I’ll never forget! Thanks NRS community!
Celebrating one year today with
@ConsoleGamingLG
!
I want to personally thank everyone who been a part of this journey!
The CGL has changed my life, and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to serve the console community!
I love you all! 🥂
Judging by yesterday’s timeline, we (men) still have a ways to go in learning how to respect women.
Going to continue to put in my best efforts to help promote women in gaming and expedite the evolution. Lots of work to do.

Just want to clarify something - we want to inspire at CGL. There is no “being on top” for us - we want to grow together and inspire others to do well. That’s what CGL is about. We want everyone to win.

Happy to report the EVO watch party was a success! A big group of the FGC got to enjoy watching the finals together, and for that it’s a massive W. Thank you to everyone who attended, I hope everyone had a great time!
Want to give a huge shoutout to

NRS cup sounds 🔥🔥🔥
After we wrap up our current slate of events, if no one else has by then, we’ll host a mini-NRS cup with MKX / MK11 / IJ2.
Btw, $1K IJ2 tourney in less than 2 weeks 👀👀
Should I just add MKX to the CCO lineup? 🤔
#ProgressionOfThoughts
Accomplished some cool things in 2021:
- built / closed on our 1st house
- had my most successful year in my career
- got my 1st tesla / fastest car avail
- got CGL twitch partnered
- signed some amazing talent + CEO champ
- got our 1st MK champ
Ready for an even bigger 2022!
Rather than pressuring top players and creators to use their platforms to complain about the game, I think it’d be a lot more productive if they simply used their platforms to help promote the community instead.
There’s 1000 tweets crapping on the game to every 1 tweet praising
I have parted ways with Aspire Esports, and wish them nothing but success moving forward!
@ConsoleGamingLG
will be assuming the sponsorship of the MK roster / staff from Aspire for the remainder of the Pro Kompetition.
For all the negativity MK1 gets, I do think that a patch, more communication, and better attention to Pro Komp could easily make this game amazing.
These are all doable things and we are still early enough in the timeline that they’re feasible. 🤞
