We're all trying to nicely critique about how bad an idea this is only because the "advisors" behind it are currently very powerful people in the industry. But many of us are screaming inside. My faith is shaken in the legitimacy of esports when its leaders support this shit.

I need some positivity. So for those who need help breaking into the esports industry, check out this YT channel. His work is great! If anyone else has any free resources they'd like to share to help others, do comment! youtube.com/channel/UCgXJ9…

The discourse around the ECI debacle still circumvents the fact that their business plan was ACTIVELY HARMFUL to the esports industry. "Perfect is the enemy of progress" is a misuse of the aphorism and doesn't apply here. We don't need you to ideate. We need you to stop.

We also need to find the existing voices and work being done to make esports more inclusive and meritocratic, and then INVEST and EXPAND them. The ECI was not flawed in execution. Its existence is a flaw entirely.

Hey, everyone! I'm LFT for Acad/AM positions for the 2022 Season. Although my rank on paper isn't the highest, I feel like I have improved a lot this season and am hungry to show it. Contact me through DMs if interested! Retweets greatly appreciated <3

I have a pet peeve with academia or businesses selling credentials in esports eg. an esports "minor," or degree/certificate. They're either conning you or heavily misinformed. Esports is an INDUSTRY. Swap out esports with any other industry you'd know how ridiculous it sounds.

Turns out he was a god damn ninja as well.

THREAD: Yesterday, the New York Times published a headline it knew was false. The implications of this are dangerous for everyone who cares about an informed public. Here’s what happened:

🔸Looking for new opportunities in 2022 • former team translator, manager and analyst (Misfits, T1) • freelance host and translator • fluent in Korean, French and English • 5 years experience in esports • engineer’s degree in IT Contact: [email protected]

The degree of eloquence and insight within this interview makes it a must read for anyone wanting a more holistic view of the space (LoL esports).

No ban please

I got in. I pressed the purchase button. "Another fan" beat me to it. 3x times. They sold out. The scalpers win.

League coaches need to learn how to be better humans and care for their players. Maybe not put their players' private lives into the public eye.

Any tier 1 org would let go of their expensive contracts after a severe underperformance. Given the state of the industry, no one would bat an eye. I'm seeing a needless conversation stemming from irresponsible journalism.
