Can we stop romanticizing women in esports?
Leave us alone and stop romanticizing us as some uwu cute girl when we are just here to do a job.
I’m not here to date you and I’m not here to have you tell me I’m ugly.
I have no time for people like that. Move.
It’s funny how the same people saying they support and uplift women in esports are the ones bullying, belittling, and backstabbing people like me.
Surely we should set a better example to our students to treat women in esports kindly right?
Lets stay positive & help one another
Excited to finally announce that I will be the new Director of Esports at Converse University!
I am beyond excited to lead this incredible group of motivated students to success and hope to continue in their growth & accomplishments!
See you in LA for clol finals😈

(1/2) Men always wonder why women dont want to comm but fail to remember that the moment we speak, we get nonstop hate for the entirety of a game.
Unfortunately the JasonR drama has impacted my games lately and there is even more sexism than before...
@HitBox_Hiros
This one’s new 😂
Have y’all ever had another team send a PowerPoint on why they should hang out with your team before champs?
They make a compelling argument… 🤔

LIFE UPDATE
I’m happy to announce that I’ll be moving to North Carolina in 2 weeks to be the Head Esports Coach at Chowan University! I look forward to helping this program create a scene for esports. This university has the tools to succeed &im happy to be part of its growth💙

I have been Relays coach since August & will back him up if he says he did not cheat. Relay plays on a competitive collegiate team that values competitive integrity. He also plays in our esports lab consistently with no change to gameplay. I hope

I feel this :/ so sorry you had to be in that environment. People always flame women for wanting a duo but get treated like this in solos. Keep your head up.
As a “Head Esports Coach” I have to choose daily whether to do director or coach work & split my days & work accordingly. I want to coach a top tier team but also want to push my program to the top…
This conversation about UTD is crucial.
I started using a voice changer in my ranked games so that i dont get people flaming me cause im a girl and its SOOOO great..
BUT.
What is NOT fun is forgetting that its on and going through 5 hours of meetings and calls with my "man" voice on HAHAHAHAH 😅🙃😭
Really disappointed in cval this year..
There’s not another league that I know of where roster locks are the same day registration closes. Theres no consideration for schools who have different academic calendars.
Looks like we will see yall in Spring qual🫡
3rd annual Esports Thanksgiving for my students at
@ConverseEsports
☺️
This is one of my favorite traditions that I do with the program so the students can have a home cooked meal:)
The 6am-6pm cooking commitment was TIRING though 😅
Had a blast taking
@ConverseEsports
to the Hornets vs Celtics game today and family style KBBQ. I’m so grateful to be able to give students the opportunity to make memories like this together. 😊
Also, GGs CELTICS, Jayson Tatum made me proud 💚
Today I put in my official 2 weeks to Chowan and will be leaving my position as Head Esports Coach.
Forever grateful to my students and incredibly proud of each and every one of them.
I will announce my future plans within the next week or so :)
(2/2) This person should have ZERO space in the scene and is incredibly sexist.
Yes I had a bad game at first, but there is absolutely NO right to get a team to turn on me for a bad game and say that trans women arent women.
I am extremely disgusted. Fuck you
@YAACHII
.
It would be incredibly cool to do something like the Esports Awards but exclusively for collegiate. It would help all of us celebrate one another and recognize each other for our wide range of achievements. There’s only a select amount of awards for a category that deserves more
Had a blast at HUE☺️
Although our results may not have been exactly what we wanted I am proud to see how much we've achieved within our program.
There was no greater trophy I couldve received than to see my students go out of their way to support each other& those around them🥹
I hereby order everyone in collegiate esports to take this weekend off.
I have ordered all of you a prescription of get off twitter and enjoy life for a bit 😊

5 years ago today I lost my dad to suicide. Ive never opened about it or told anyone & this year seemed like the year i wanted to share. Its never gotten easier.
If you or someone you know struggles with these thoughts please know you are loved &there is always help
Finished packing my house today and im EXHAUSTED.
After 2 months of working remote for Converse, im finally leaving NC and moving to Spartanburg, SC tomorrow. Ngl its been tough working remotely but im so excited to start this new journey.
I might’ve cooked for 10 hours today for my students 😅
Each team got to vote for one dish to go with our turkey/ham. Can you guess what each of the teams voted for? 👀
Happy Esports Thanksgiving:) very thankful for these students and this program 🧡🥧🍂🥘

This ban wasnt supported with any proof or further explanation which I think is not fair when this ban not only affects Relay but his entire team in playoffs. If anything, I think he deserves a proper explanation as to what happened and why he got the ban.
We still have 1 spot open for one of our Valorant teams for this fall available with scholarship! Undergraduate or Masters welcome.
Manager/staff positions also available for scholarship!
DM if interested and for more info :)
Tried something new this year and took all my teams and staff 3 hours away from their computers & into the wilderness to "touch grass", disconnect, & bond with each other.
Truly one of the best investments I've made in the program.
Couldnt be more excited for this school year😌
Just for reference the difference of cval winter signups last year to this year:
North: 103 - 42 (-61 schools)
South: 57 - 37 (-20 schools)
East: 129 - 66 (-63 schools)
West: 90 -70 (-20 schools)
Im curious to see what these numbers will look like tonight after the deadline.
Can we also talk about how low registration numbers are??? West leading with 70 teams currently signed up…
Last year when we competed in east there were well over 100+ teams…
What happened?
This has been the BUSIEST move in week I’ve ever had with all the prep going on and last minute details being finalized.
But I’m SO excited for move in tomorrow and to get to see all of my CVU students again 😌🙏
Big incoming class with big plans 😈

Hoping to see one or both make history tomorrow 🤗
One of the biggest holes you can fall into while in esports (and one I see a lot of young talent falling into) is overvaluing yourself to the point of missing out on good opportunities.
Know your worth but also be humble enough to not burn bridges &sit out on good opportunities
Its weird that there's a collegiate val tournament that has literally left 63 teams on read for months, moved playoffs without any communication, wont update the bracket to show who is proceeding & wont answer questions about ANY of it
Why arent more colleges talking about this?
🎉CONGRATS🎉 to Converse Valorant for winning the Lake Norman Invitational Tournament LAN in North Carolina!
We are very proud of these guys coming in hot with a 8-0 win streak to end the event undefeated. 😈💪💯

Hey everyone:) friendly PSA
Make sure we still take COVID seriously and mask up, wash up, etc
12 out of my 16 students have tested positive within the last 2 weeks even with our protocols and it has severely impacted the program. Do the right thing for all of those around you:)

I am currently looking to fill 2 spots for rankings. If you are interested, please dm me or
@RareAdamCasts
This group of converse students this year is truly something special and I could not be more proud of my students.
20 students and zero issues at LAN has to be some sort of record 😂
It is so cool seeing all of these collegiate teams doing so well in Challengers 🥹
Its a big step forward for us in this space to be able to show how competitive it is and that these players should be taken seriously.

I cannot express the amount of pride I have in these 3 players. They worked so unbelievably hard this season with hopes to bring home the 1st place Peachbelt trophy and THEY DID IT.
They came in as 3rd seed & finished the tournament in the winners bracket. I am so proud 🥹

Overall I had such an incredible time with my teams at CECC this weekend. Bittersweet goodbyes to some of them but overall grateful.
Shoutout to my personal MVP of the trip
@wildfirecsg
for competing at the highest level while having several obstacles in his way. Actually the 🐐
Can we also talk about how low registration numbers are??? West leading with 70 teams currently signed up…
Last year when we competed in east there were well over 100+ teams…
What happened?
Made the league boys some homemade stir fry at our Airbnb while we are here for
@SixtySixGames
😊
I really enjoy having this time with my teams and doing small things like this - ESPECIALLY when they haven’t had homemade food in weeks 😂
Watching RBCC finals has been awesome, however, it’s very apparent that US needs more spots in finals. The teams don’t look as competitive as the top 8 finals held in Texas. I think having a 2nd team like Blinn, WU, TAMU, etc. would balance out the competition better IMO.
GG's to
@Immortals
on their win, we proceed to losers bracket for a bo3 for a chance to qualify.
I mightve hit an ace for the first time in an official 🥲
End our run top 4 but it was super awesome watching these guys play and show that shoe school is here to win.
GGs to
@BayStateEsports
for pushing through the circumstances today and winning. Finals are going to be nutty.
Been a tough few weeks but I feel like I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Things are healing and starting to get back to the way they should be.
