The FNATIC v M3C game earlier peaked at 249K live viewers. Never did I imagine my observing would be watched by that many people. Trying to quantify that hurts my brain. VALORANT esports is going absolutely crazy, and I'm so grateful to be involved. Goodnight <3

The full situation will probably be explained at some point - but essentially we were told only one of us would be observing VCT EMEA this year. No words. I hate this whole situation. I will miss working with Mel immeasurably.

Only in observing can you do everything right for hours and hours without comment - but make one incorrect split second decision and people build this opinion of you that you're terrible at what you do. Nobody feels worse about it than me, trust me - but get some perspective.

Me and @MitchMan playing duo ranked. We both need 1 win to rank up, on the last day of the ranked season. We're down massively, 4v5. Getting absolutely fucked. We try hard to the max, we pull it back and take the first round of OT. And the game ends. He queued unrated.
