I will not be returning to cast full-time at @overwatchleague. The hard part is putting a 2 year partnership on hold. Thanks to @hexagrams for having my back in all things. Too many in the crew to thank, you know who you are. Best of luck with the homestands! Time to GET AFTER IT

You and me both, brother. Hard to put into words what I'm feeling right now having watched this. Love, happiness, pride, gratitude, sadness, excitement. are a few. I'm so amazingly fortunate to have had the chance to meet and work with these people I'm proud to call my friends.
Had a few tears in my eyes editing this. The king of Counter-Strike is dead, long live the king of Overwatch.

Take on the galil and famas price changes: @CSGO, in an appeal to reach a broader market, are slowly turning their game into CoD, where you can have a rifle every round. This feels like a game that's going to lose its identity. Skip and go straight to 16k OT eco?.

From what we've seen so far, it looks like @PlayVALORANT is an extension of the war between Riot and Blizzard. Doesn't look like it's meant to be a CS killer so much as an Overwatch killer. Abilities like rez and walls don't have anything to do with fps and won't challenge CS.

Imagine fining the players, when you are responsible for allowing chat to be visible on stream. The players chat all the time in CS, but you don't see it. Blizzard are at fault. Disgusting that they fine the players, and that there are people in the subreddit defending them.

Overwhelmed by all of the kind messages I've received! Thanks everyone! Been a while since I've felt my heart race before going live with a show. Feels like I've come back into my own with Overwatch. @hexagrams is a joy to cast with. Everything is just fucking awesome right now.

Why have an amazing Bo3 when we could have a 9 hour grand final match? When CSGO was faster pace before the economy changes, fine whatever for bo5, but now this is just silly. .

It seems insane to me to think that @CSGO would knowingly leave a competition-breaking bug in the game without addressing it for years. It just doesn't make any sense. .

Playing Valorant really makes you appreciate how polished CSGO is. The sound in Valorant, for one, could use some serious work. Still early days for the game, ofc, but hasn't it been in dev for years?.

This game will be bigger than CSGO, bigger than any fps in the world, and i'll be casting it in the highest level. With all i've learn making mistakes, making good friends, and having good people around me. I will give my best in .@PlayVALORANT. Biceps en flexion.

Good. The men competing in this female league should feel deeply ashamed for taking opportunities away from the women striving to compete in it. Considering the backlash one gets when commenting on this topic, it isn't surprising to see no pushback from the women in the league.
@OnFireSemmler The result of this pathetic tweet. You should be ashamed for the hate you're contributing to and facilitating. (replies to empathy's latest tweet from a few days ago)

Hear me out:. NiP lack the will to win. The roster is struggling. Threat is stepping back as coach. We need a new project here. A new vision. So we sign Peacemaker, give him a couple of months to blow up the roster, and start over fresh. Sound like a good plan? Thoughts?.

Yes, I care about the integrity of the league for the female players. If the female players want to have a league to compete amongst themselves, they should get it. Allowing men to compete in that league defeats the purpose of the league.

ESL should provide the coaches with offstage setups like they have in Valorant. Keep a camera on the coaches. Get all of the coach reaction shots that you want without breaking the rules of coaches interacting with players, and the coaches are MICed for the timeouts. Win?.

I was raised in Los Angeles. I accepted the offer to work OWL, which was based in LA, in order to be able to spend more time, 2/3rds of the year, with friends and family after my brother and one of my closest friends suddenly died. It was a gift, after spending so much time away.

I know it's cliche to point it out, but the amount of hate and vitriol, including wishes for me to suffer physical harm, from the community of inclusivity and love is commical. 0 self awareness from these clowns, or they know what they're doing and are downright unhinged.
