I cried twice this weekend: once when our finalists walked onstage, and when it was over. Being a voice for the #ALGS is an immense honour. Thank you for trusting me, and for the best year of my life. I love you all, and I’ll see you in Year 4.

Timmy -> MST This @Disguised ALGS roster shift is wild. @iiTzTimmy became synonymous with the DSG roster and org identity. I already miss the amazing environment he created with Disguised. @MoistEsports are a lucky team to be getting a player, creator, and a person like him.

I do think people are overvaluing the superteam in the larger scale of Apex. Could Zero, Gen, and Hal really be THAT MUCH scarier than the DZ that won 4 games straight at Playoffs? They should be the #1 team in NA, but I don’t anticipate that they easily win playoffs.

This is such a fantastic content piece - JHawk really captured every moment that gripped me during the four days of competition. Split 2 can't start soon enough. 😭

🥹 Just got home to a present from my friends at @SteelSeries ! I got the chance to try out one of their mics when it was still in beta, and it sounded SO GOOD - now I’ve got the real thing 🤩 Let’s plug this baby in and play some games! ᴳᵒᵈ ᶦ ᵐᶦˢˢᵉᵈ ᵍᵃᵐᵉˢ

PLEASE do not yell at broadcasters/esports staff about in-game problems. It’s like asking SpaceX staff to fix your Tesla.

Had the pleasure of testing out Project: Loki this weekend! The fight timing of a BR+MOBA combined with the movement and skillshots makes it a really satisfying game to master… I’ve still got a lot to learn tho 👉👈 Thanks to @theorycraft_inc for having me! Check them out!

Working with new tournament organizers to put together a broadcast is tiring but SO worth it. Seeing everything come together from scratch is an amazing feeling. I always learn something, and the creativity and energy is electric. SO MUCH LOVE TO NEW TO'S 🫶🫶🫶

I want to be an overnight oats person but lack the forethought required. Thus I am caged in an instant-oats world of mediocrity.

Casting Pro League today was a dream come true, and in TWO regions? I’m too blessed. Better still I was gifted with some of the best co-casters I could’ve had. I’m lucky to get to talk about the game I love with @ZephyrCasts and @JetSetJamerson . You two crushed it today.
