BREAKING: @uarizona will cut their Varsity Esports program (@UArizonaEsports) at the end of the Spring 2024 semester, per source. The decision drops amidst Arizona's financial crisis, as they reported a $140 million budget shortfall at the Arizona Board of Regents meeting today

I'm nearing the point where I may just have to accept getting a random full-time job just to stay afloat. I hate saying it, because I want to stay in journalism/esports, but at some point I just need to suck it up and realize I need money soon to pay off loans.

A shorter "Twinner's Winners and Losers" due to less games this week:.- Siena Heights earn their big win, with a 4-1 stunner over Fisher. - BSCVA have a quick bounce back win in NECC over UCI. - Fisher fall short in ECAC, while OWCS Stockholm created chaos for some top rosters.

There's no way there was nearly 17,000 people listening to me yap about Overwatch Sunday. In all seriousness, the entire talent, and especially production crews deserve this nice of a result. The entire crew should be proud of what we did last weekend, and the work leading up.
🏆 VALORANT and Overwatch were the most popular titles at the @collegiatesmg's Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup 2024!. Overall, #CECCTexas2024 gathered over 150K Hours Watched. More @EsportsUGaming #cecc tournaments:.➡️

Crazy to think that Dan and I have been casting together now for nearly 2 years. It's been one hell of a ride and being able to cast our 2nd OD Grand Final last night incredible. We've grown so much over the last two years as casters and friends and I couldn't be more grateful.

I really appreciate the support and help from this. We're filing a police report at the moment and trying to figure out exactly what's gone. Seems like it's practically all my underwear, socks, shorts, sweatpants, and then most of my t-shirts and maybe some jerseys.
To whoever broke into our rental car last night and stole nearly two duffle bags worth of personal items, clothes, etc., I genuinely hope you burn in hell. We don't even have time to figure out what's gone rn since we're on our way to graduation. Why are people so cruel?.

I'm only posting this because it's hilarious. 1. Don't take people out of context to fit your agenda. 2. If you actually listened to the whole segment, it was about the individual skill of Winthrop's roster not being enough to breeze by, which ended up being correct

This industry has its moments of pure happiness, and then there are times like today. Potentially the biggest cast of my career with one of my best friends (@TTLCasts) is stripped away because a team doesn't want the OD Loser's Finals to be streamed. .

First rankings of the 2024-25 season are out! The undisputed reigning champs ISU lead the way, with the revamped Winthrop roster just behind. Honestly, the biggest whiff of the rankings for me personally is not having Siena Heights (aka Tanuki in OWCS) in the Top 20 tbh.
A new year means new teams, new dreams, and new rankings!. A lot has changed in the offseason, but there is at least one constant: Redbirds 🔛🔝. What do you think about our fall 2024 preseason rankings? Let us know!
