This is the best night of my life. thank you every single person who's impacted me since I started. thank you to everyone who sent me messages. thank you to those who trusted in me to grow. thank you to those who trusted me to work my ass off to be here. Love you all.
old League mostly sucked in pure gameplay.
you all just miss when life was easier and you were having fun with your friends. and you all conflate this with old league being better.
He's so right.
a pink haired they/them forced tsm to spend over 2 million a year on swordart as well as take on import players that were overpaod and balloon their budget leading to a collapse when sponsors pulled.
wait it was a generic esports straight guy? and he got banned?
Gaming failed because it was an escape for people in the real world to come be someone else on line or let loose with their friends & say & do whatever the fuck they wanted.
Then blue haired, political correct losers came in & ruined it
League has one of the most disgustingly bad tutorials (if u can even call it that) and has an insane learning curve to even reach the point of being able to face other humans.
Fundamentally these two things are gigantic road blockers especially when hype dies down.
What Nadeshot says is true sadly, League of Legends is not growing in NA the past 5yrs due to the poor mgmt of the space plus the PlayVS contract which was a nightmare; internationally still by far the most popular game.

As EMENES is shitting on everyone as he swags out of esports, let's be clear:
EMENES was a literal alcoholic when he was in EU, showing up to scrims on low sleep/still under influence (If he showed at all). Legit wintraded a competitive game. I warned C9 before he was signed.
also wanted to say a huge thank u for this pc tht i recently got gifted from one of my twitch viewers
thankuthankuthanku im still in disbelief and ill use this to have better quality streams and play more games :,) im so blessed by my supportive chat thank u so much ♡
Its insane seeing people (mostly randoms) flaming APA as if he isn't a rookie who got thrown into a team halfway into a split facing literally the best players in the world. who fucking cares if it's VN, KR, or EU dudes out here playing miles above what most could ever dream of.
So uh guess this is a good time to officially confirm I'll be working on NRG's League of Legends division.
Extremely grateful to be allowed to continue chasing my dreams and can't wait to work my ass off and help win some titles.

Surprise 😜
Excited to be back with Wildcard and remind everyone of what I accomplished last time I was there.
I did a lot of soul searching and decided that competing is a priority for me while I look for full time work on the agency/backend jobs in the esports industry.
We welcome back an LCS champion,

We are excited to have Myra back to build a championship caliber NACL roster for the 2024 season!

I pay $10 a month for ESPN+ to watch NHL and a bit of MLB/NBA.
I'd be willing to pay $25 a month for access to all major pro leagues of LoL if I got 4k stream + a better version of the insight tab on lolesports site
To be clear, I don't think putting Esports behind a paywall right now would be a good idea.
But it's super worrying to me people think Esports aren't worth paying for. If viewership only exists because it's free entertainment... idk how leagues start turning a profit.
man if you knew what most pro players actually think and say you'd be amazed. like it's hard enough too get literal sex abusers black listed.
but I highly doubt you'd know that as the "7th best project M player in Alaska" 🤣
In esports, you get banned globally from events if:
-You’re politically incorrect.
-Not vaccinated.
-Refuse masks.
-Believe in God.
-Know that there is only two genders.
-Republican.
-You defend any of the people listed above.
Esports is not inclusive, it’s discriminatory.
If everyone who screamed about trans people "taking away opportunities" in game changers cared as much about woman's esports as they claimed surely they'd put any amount of effort, time, or viewership into the event as well as promote upcoming talent right? surely they care??
A little update..
Due to everything I'll be leaving Los Angeles fully on January 12th. I will be looking for full-time work actively and am open to remote work or opportunities anywhere in North America. Team Management of any game, Talent Management, Entry level Marketing

Super excited to get my start in the Collegiate Esports and be working back in Canada. Extremely grateful for the opportunity to give back in a way that matters 😄
SGDQ, a community event to benefit charity, has more viewers than the Esports World Cup, a Saudi state-backed tournament with the largest prize pool in esports history.
I'm sure the Crown Prince is very happy with their investment 👍

this shit was ass
new seasons aren't perfect but the game feels so much better to play. sorry if this upsets you.
LinkedIn is full of people who value a direct influx of unsustainable cash into their industry over building sustainable ecosystems not beholden to the Saudi Crown's blood money. The event is a soulless attempt at SA rebranding via (e)sportswashing and will be dead within 2 years
The Esports World Cup has officially kicked off with a $60,000,000+ prize pool, most in esports history, and I've legitimately seen more "hype" and discussion about it on LinkedIn than X.
Im not there in Korea so im gonna talk shit while everyone else stays humble and focuses hard. Legit the smartest most skilled group you could put together in the region.
No all pros.
Not even considered for coaching staff of split
Keep doubting they'll keep running you.
if you're a player going to collegiate because of everything please prioritize your level of education rather than going to these degree Mills with challenger players. you will benefit so much more in the long run.
use your talents to kick start your life properly.
ill try and muster up to write something but I know I gave my literal everything for this split. I achieved my dreams and did everything I ever could to help others. sometimes its not enough. we go next
Dreamt of this for 10 fucking years since I started playing league. I might just be a small part of the team but it's an absolute privilege to learn with so many extremely talented people and watch everyone grow together. So grateful this is my life.
I'm no games expert but here's the common things that's reaaaally hard to understand and should have (or need better) tutorials for.
- item and shop system
- what the roles are
- how do turrets work
- how do rift, baron, drag work
- THE JUNGLE AS A WHOLE
- THE JUNGLE ROLE
League has one of the most disgustingly bad tutorials (if u can even call it that) and has an insane learning curve to even reach the point of being able to face other humans.
Fundamentally these two things are gigantic road blockers especially when hype dies down.
Players have personality. To imply otherwise is disingenuous. To assume 50 people are boring soulless NPCs ignores is wild.
Player personalities don't shine for dogshit content they are uninterested in. Being around players all the time these guys are funny af. Content is Bad --
League of Legends pro players are some of the must uninteresting, uncharismatic, boring personalities out there. Combined by the fact 99% of them have ZERO interest in making content and you see why orgs can't make good vids
It is impressive how little people understand about what actually drives fandom.
The easiest go to example is how Drive to Survive brought F1 from something no one cared about in America into a widely watched sport.
By connecting fans with the humanity behind the craft.
@ChocoHalation
@Fray_dee
@forestwithout
Personalities? You are watching the very best people compete at the highest level in their craft. Who gives af about their personalities. Does anyone watch traditional greats cuz of their personalities? Lol this is NPC thinking.
I made Proving grounds every single split and qualified two teams in the same split and put together one of the best amateur teams of all time. I "only make failing teams" lol
keep barking!
@myra__davis
i think you're just mad you're fat an unattractive so he won't have sex with you, no offense. you could lose a few pounds and maybe more people would like you. you have no personality and only build failing teams, no offense.
today's the day...
Please support all of my friends who lost their jobs. they are the smartest people I've ever met and anyone would be lucky to get the opportunity to work in a team as amazing as this. I sincerely hope everyone recognizes their value.

I have 7 years of team management experience with 1 split LCS (NRG, 1 year NACL, and 5.5 years of Amateur). I have experience with experiential marketing experience with NRG and CLG. I have facilities management experience with NRG. and I have done socials/content with Wildcard.
I will work any job possible. I will go above and beyond to do everything I can to help your company succeed. Resume and references available on request. I dont want the dream to die here.
for anyone defending a certain someone.
HAVE YOU TALKED TO A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD. DO YOU KNOW HOW DUMB THEY ARE. DO YOU KNOW HOW DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT THE LIVES OF A 19-14 YEAR OLDS IS. LIKE HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU NOT CLUE IN THAT MAYBE THEY'RE YOUNG. HOW ARE YOU THAT dense!!
Jonathon is quite possibly the most talented person I've ever met. The fact he turned a disheveled CLG roster into LITERAL LCS CHAMPS and Top 5-8 world in TWO YEARS is absolutely insane.
He's compassionate beyond belief, smart as fuck, hardest worker I know.
Hire him and win.
Today, we are announcing the departure of
@kamikazplatypus
from NRG League of Legends.
As GM, Jonathon helped build this team and create an environment that led us to become the best in the West. Thank you for everything, we wish you all the best.
@minusthejets
I think going after him for his behavior is chill in this scenario, but to use alcoholism as some sort of like moral penalty on him is odd. how he handled it as an issue for sure But like it's an actual addiction, it just feels weird to talk about like this
After running a $45M esports tournament in 2023, the Saudi Arabian government's won over the largest publisher in the industry: Riot Games.
The Esports World Cup is set to feature a League of Legends tournament this summer, per an internal email.
More:
assuming riots chart is fully accurate here's some quick takeaways.
-90% of players were bronze-plat
- want to flatten that 90% across bronze to Emerald
- making it less condensed on silver/bronze
-less iron players
- equal or less diamond
- equal or less apex (masters+)
whats the point of adding more and more ranks in the game like grandmaster, iron, and the new emerald rank? I feel like it would make more sense to have just kept the original bronze silver gold plat diamond masters challenger and fixing the inflated lp issues? or is this wrong?
PlayVS was terrible and fucked over multiple years of potential growth in high schools
BUT
the game is ass to learn and Fortnite and Valorant are/were COOL and NEW and most importantly FUNDAMENTALLY EASY.
also doesn't help the league community is absurdly negative.
In the immediate I am open to contract work of any kind, especially any NACL/CLoL teams who need help in the offseason with scouting/team building.
Also open with helping out any of my content/creator homies with any projects you might have.
Any opportunities help right now.

in florida i could be put on death row for going to the bathroom. im a gay little twink who wanted boobs and now i can be put on death row for going to the bathroom. how are no cis people i know talking about the fact that i could be put on death row for going to the bathroom.

if you are a college with an esports program willing to give me a full-ride+board I will gladly take director/assistant/management level positions in an esports program with no supplementary pay as long as it's in Canada or a state with good trans rights :)
dm's open :3
Maybe it's a go back to university angle. Entire industry is cooked. Already feeling quite defeated that everything I've done won't even qualify me for interviews for jobs that are carbon copies of my nrg position. But seeing company after company lay off is depressing as hell.
if ur fandom exists solely on the result of winning you aren't a real fan imo. i get the frustrations watching c9 lose last night but some of the things im reading are just sad lmao.
What the fuck do you mean barely anyone it literally covered my timeline all day. Probably says more about the people you surround yourself than what you think it says about others.
One guy says, “I AM ESPORTS” and everyone loses their god damn minds.
Saudi Arabian government says, “WE ARE ESPORTS” and barely anyone in the industry says anything at all.
Please continue to support the Players and Coaches.
I know people will have very valid and strong emotions and reactions to this news. I completely understand.
But the players and team is still the same group of cracked individuals and they deserve support.
Everyone's view rightfully on the league community is we're all a bunch of toxic shit heads and like playing this game its easy to see that.
Doesn't fucking help when the games massive streamers are active negativity spreaders to insane degrees.
I do not trust a single professional esports organization to truly be equipped with handling the pressures internally and externally that a 13 year old would face in a professional full time league.
I do not trust the vast majority of orgs to handle a 18-16 year old.

The expectation for minorities to have to "teach" grown adults at every turn no matter how deep down the rabbit hole they are is such a ridiculous idea.
The burden being put on people just trying to exist vs the grown adults who think queer ppl touch kids. Very Very Smart Yes.

W. fuck cancel culture. if the part of the internet that's going after mercs were the "good guys", they'd teach & be patient even if their teachings are being questioned. the vocal minority who pretend that they are fighting for equality are just virtue signaling for clout, what
using today to push your own personal agenda ESPECIALLY when you're a nobody who's never accomplished anything is hilarious.
the internet is full of losers thinking they matter and today truly highlights that.
I hope you can develop some empathy as humans and care for eachother
Bumping again.
I know the ecosystem is in a pretty rough spot right now so I'm trying my best to adapt to everything going on. I'm really open to doing any role at all. Just looking for anything if anyone has any leads. Thanks!

These Xbox layoffs are such a mess that staff across Activision Blizzard are texting *me* to try to find out if they might be impacted. Nearly 2,000 job cuts and people now just have to wait around to see if they're part of the bloodbath
