. After almost 8 years at the company, it was time to embrace a new challenge. It has been an amazing ride from tiny start-up to a live streaming behemoth and I was fortunate to share it with some equally amazing folk. Farewell big purp 💜
This H1Z1 league debacle is 2018's proof of concept that people with no clue about esports are still involved and actively claiming they have a clue about esports to people with no clue about esports but with money to spend on esports.

Fuck it, just add "esports consultant" to your bio.
The past 24 hours have been absolutely amazing for🇷🇴 Romania. Slowly taking the country back from the corrupt scumbags in power, starting with their party going down in flames in the EU elections AND their leader convicted and going to prison today!

Liquipedia is by far the most underrated esports site/portal/resource. All those contributors putting in mad work to keep it up deserve a ton of respect.
If back in 2010 when esports was getting a fresh new start someone would've told me that only 8 years later we'd be seriously debating over in-game tea bagging in one of the most lucrative esport leagues I would've definitely questioned their imagination. What a time to be alive.

Unfortunately, this looks like 2 crashes rather than anything else. Both crashed within this area according to the defense ministry, which is deep within Romania's airspace. Almost nonexistent chance of aggression, probably just bad weather + old/poorly maintained hardware :( RIP
Heartbreaking to hear about the shooting at the Madden event. Unfortunately, this was a matter of when not if. Esport event security, in general, has been extremely poor over the years, we should've stepped it up long ago.

Think of a bad take then multiply it through a quantum bad take processing unit spanning several multiverses and it still wouldn't rival this tweet right here. Dude, seriously...

Have you seen those badass DreamHack booths made out of shipping containers, then sound proofed? Add headphones and in-ears on top of it and I'd say you're pretty much proofed. Might not be the prettiest but surely effective. Altho it would be great if ppl just stopped doing it.
Geoff's quick witty humor and banter skills on camera were out of this world. One of the greatest entertainers of our industry. Also one of the kindest folk around :( I'll never forget laughing my ass off in production during this legendary broadcast
Excited for my yearly road trip holiday starting tomorrow. 25 days, 5000 km, lots of Autobahn driving, 10 days by the beach and a pit stop at the

Let's put this into perspective. Twitch employee gets a DMCA strike on his staff channel for actual in-game background music. I would assume the record labels have been granted a full-access willy nilly tool tied directly your backend CDN at this point which is running rampant.
This Putin speech right now is like a time machine back to the cold war era. TL;DR: make USSR great again. I feel for the people of Ukraine for what's surely set to come at this point :/

What a pathetic and disgusting attempt to randomly pull Geoff and John's names into your irrelevant Internet crusade. Two people who've had a relationship with Richard you can only dream of will surely not be turning in their graves.
Looking back at 2018 where polarizing views rooted into politics have made the space an absolute shit show. Extremism (on the left & right sides of spectrum) is now the de-facto label for anyone willing to touch any slightly controversial topic. Where do we go from here?
@gbuhnici
Bine pseudo-intelectualule, tu vorbesti? Tu care iti aduci nevasta aia "minoră" să facă piruete în fața camerei și ne vorbești despre buci și țâțe la mare? Chiar te asculți vreodată să auzi ce debitezi? Lasă placa cu SJW, realizează cat de idiot suni cand deschizi gura.
1) This seems to be a polarizing initiative atm so here's a take. A thread.
While we can argue that a lot of the names at the forefront of this are ot exactly "well known" within the esports space, it should not detract from their past and future potential achievements.
European Esports Federation held its consultation meeting with its founding members, observers as well as distinguished guests from European Parliament.

Oh yes, the well known worldwide FIA conspiracy to make Redbull win with regulations. Delusional fans living in their own parallel universe never fail to entertain. It can't happen that anyone plainly bests Merc development, it has to be rigged rules right? Mental you lot.
PSA: Those looking to book a hotel for TI in Bucharest, this 5⭐hotel downtown (close to old town, bars & restaurants) has set up an event booking rate (breakfast & some discount included). Make sure to change your desired dates on the booking page first!
When every 5th tweet on your timeline is one of these shit memes you know you've had enough social media for the day. Good job guys, so edgy, so fresh...
As one of the people that's been really close to you following the development of the game over the years, I personally know how much this means to you and the team. Blood sweat and tears. You should all be extremely proud of yourselves for this achievement. First of many! <3
Today was quite a big milestone for the myself and the team. We shipped our very first video game Diabotical! It took 7 years of development on pretty tight budget. We had a lot of secret help from industry figures in esports, the community and then a final push from Epic games
Switzerland is gorgeous and has some of the best scenic routes. Arrived in Milano today. First impressions, Italians love driving fast and chaotic, it all makes sense now. Not a single car was going the speed limit on the highway :) Great pizza.
