Officially moved to Kansas City! As born-and-raised Iowans my wife and I have always wanted to return to the Midwest, so with my lifelong Chiefs fandom and the proximity to her family, KC was a no-brainer. We were offline for the move over the holidays, so Happy New Year! 🥳🤩😍

Over the last few months I've worked closely with

imagine still arguing about import restrictions when we could be enacting real change
like making sure absolutely no one associated with the LCS is still using Skype
Had to keep this under wraps for a while now, but it's official. Super excited to make awesome things happen with the Warriors; 2019 is going to be insane.
⚠️ former players of mine ⚠️
i absolutely try to keep an eye on all of your careers, but there are mountains of you at this point
it's probably weird to hear, but i still care about each and every one of you
if you ever just want to catch up, don't hesitate to reach out first

If you don't sign the contract in the first 15 minutes, I'm legally allowed to do absolutely nothing about it and will continue working with you until we're both happy with the terms.

fellow gamers.
With 2023 under way, I'm officially looking for Team/League Ops or Talent Management work in either the competitive or content creator scenes.
I'm located in Los Angeles and references/résumé are available on request.
If you've enjoyed working with me in the past, drop a vouch!
Today's drama is entirely on me. The LCS invested resources in the inhouse bot during Spring, and although they did, no games have spun up for almost the entirety of 2021. Any games you've seen on Twitter have been manually put together by players like CoreJJ and Finn. [1/5]
Golden Guardians chose not to take my 2023 option and gave me notice yesterday, so effective today I'm a free agent.
The team wasn't where we wanted it to be and I think this is the best path forward for both parties.
Regardless, please cheer on all of the GG players and staff!
Talk about unfortunate timing. My birthday is on April 28, but our plane for Australia leaves today and we don't land into Australia until morning time April 29.

- Faker & SKT trouncing GRF
- Tiger Woods 5th green jacket
- Game of Thrones final season premiere

, but you remember that your team is basically just TSM on an international stage at the end of the day. 😱
there's some misinfo floating around that teams only get rofls for their own games
currently all 10 LCS teams receive every rofl from every LCS game in our region, including Lock In, Showdown, and Championship
that being said, LCS coaches are pushing for a global rofl database
Gonna be honest, was hoping for a little bit of magic in year one at
@GoldenGuardians
, but some things just take time and I firmly believe it's not worth forcing it. Already looking forward to practice in January and setting my sights on 2020.
Unfortunate. On the bright side, we showed massive improvement throughout the split and know what we can build on for Summer.
gg's
@FlyQuestSports
'til next time!
in the old format TSM would have ~360 days to prepare for next Summer playoffs
they would, however, now be guaranteed last seed in the gauntlet where they would have to win THREE back-to-back days of bo5s to be our 3 seed who shows up two weeks later than our 1/2 seeds at Worlds
TSM plays DIG immediately today??
Pretty sure they expected to beat GGS 2 days ago and didn't put as much prep into potentially facing DIG
I love double elim and Spring not mattering for Worlds but this schedule seems pretty brutal
So many companies making useless gamer versions of their products when all we really need is a gamer microwave that can cook silverware, styrofoam, and aluminum foil without exploding
@ItsGamerDoc
it's not about the new stuff they're adding now, it's about how the new engine allows them to iterate moving forward
see: DOTA2 since it moved to Source 2
Another monster addition to our lineup at the perfect time. The off-season has been so kind to me this year.
Special shout out to
@LiQuiD112
and
@MichaelArtress
for being both prompt and professional throughout the transition.
i agree with the sentiment that we shouldn't have made OCE players domestic for NA
we should have made all minor region players not count as imports in any major region

[1/2] It's unlikely Kubz intended any slight, but I'll speak to a few of the things he mentioned in his tweets. As a P-1S worker, Kubz’s contract start date was contingent on his entry into the US on a work-authorized visa status. Separately,

We just need Colorado server locations, which will solve 80% of ping differential issues. it’s really not fair to west coast teams to consistently have to play on Illinois servers which are 2000 miles away in official matches.
guys please stop telling us to move lcs to the midwest
sometimes it rains there and everyone built their facilities in LA
that alone makes the idea dead on arrival 🤪
One down. One to go. Sad I couldn't make it out to NY, but thrilled about the stamina our guys have shown all through

Thanks for supporting us this year friends; stay safe!
As you can see, the game played out exactly as planned and C9 had it all along. 😅 Real talk though, the Taliyah wall bump canceling Thresh's lantern pull on Xayah was CLUTCH.
Me: *Hands Beth puppy painkiller*
Beth: I'm not sure I can get her to eat it.
Beth: *Accidentally drops pill onto couch next to Xayah*
Xayah: Omnomnomnom
Beth: Uhhh, good girl?

Really appreciate all the kind words from everyone today. For those of you who have been worrying, you don't need to. In the immortal words of
