Winning prom king and dancing with my now wife instead of the girl who won queen. We agreed to dance with our significant others instead, the staff was upset lol
COST 2022 is over. Completed our first mini major. Cannot believe my team pulled this off. I’m absolutely exhausted but so thankful and happy. Thanks to everyone who has supported me from the beginning. I’m just a kid who gets to mess around with video games for a living.
We are thrilled to announce that

A few days late on this post but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who made
#COST2024
a very special event. I believe we surpassed 2022 as the best COST.
Eric and I put a lot of time and money into this. Us getting this result makes it all worth it!
Excited and honored to announce that I am joining the

Happy 6 Year Anniversary (and 13+ years together) to my beautiful wife! Thank you for being my soulmate and my lifetime travel partner. You continue to inspire me every day. I still remember us laughing at people who mentioned a “honeymoon phase.” Well baby we are still in it! ❤️

Running two C tier tournaments in a row. 3 years ago nobody in the community knew anything about my small east Columbus tournaments. It is all about getting yourself out there and connecting with good people. I have surrounded myself with some amazing friends and colleagues.
This is why
@ZionFGC
won Ohio TO of the year. Largest weekly in the entire Midwest this week (even beat Ignition), ran an amateur bracket, Crew Battle AND Bo5 Top 8! All completed before Midnight.
Great work as always!
Those who know me best know I’ve been roaming around North America and the Caribbean for the past few weeks as well as figuring out these PayPal issues and getting ready for other events. Because of all of this I never got the chance to give the proper thanks for COST 2022…
I’ll prob make an official statement regarding tournaments scheduling over one another after
#COST2022
. For now all I’ll say is if you are a Midwest player and want to opt in for the invitational, I’ll support you and your decision. If you don’t get in, come to COST 2022
Willing to fully cover one players full entry for Gridiron Gateway and another players full entry for SOS 9. Just “like” this tweet or reply with who you want to get it. You don’t have to follow me. Can apply to those who are already preregistered too!

#CECCTexas2024
was the culmination of 10+ months of work! To see it play out how it did was nothing short of magical. Too many people to thank so I’ll just shout out
@WBBChris
for putting his life into this!
No time for post event depression, we start work on CECC 2025 soon!
Excited to return to the Lone Star State for CECC May Madness Presented by
@McDonalds
of North Texas!
I’ll once again be the Head TO for CECC competition on May 3-5th at Esports Stadium Arlington.
#CECCTexas2024
This past weekend I worked as the stage manager for
#CECCAtlanta2022
. Working in esports full time has been a crazy experience but getting to work an esports event like this, let alone be the stage manager for it, was surreal. Never imagined I’d be doing this, this early on.
We are thrilled to announce that

Officially one year working professionally in esports with Esports Foundry and
@GameArenaCBUS
! Time flies when you’re having fun. Had the pleasure of creating and being a part of some special events. Excited for what year two holds.
Most people don’t realize the work that goes on behind the scenes with
@AF_Mindset
and myself. We have been in constant communication 24/7 for the past two months working on this. This is an incredible outcome!
Still so much work to do. Game Arena is gonna be packed 😤
We did it.
COST 2024 is officially a NATIONAL!!! Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this possible. I can't appreciate y'all enough. The first draft of seeding will be out within the next 24 hours.
Thank you.
Excited for COST to be back this year (it was very close to not happening at all). Happy to bring it back to Game Arena like the old days.
To explain a few things, I absolutely love the previous venue, but the rental expenses were way too high.

Good evening, my name is Spencer "Diablo" Kirksey. I am the founder of COST (June 6-7). We already have 160 entrants and we're Ohio's largest grassroots tournament. I know we are the same weekend as Double Down but we would like to opt in. Please consider
Just now getting around to writing this as I immediately jumped from wrapping up COST 2023 (still working on payouts) to preparing for GDEX Underworld.
A list of those who deserve a massive thanks for making COST run this year 🧵:
My wife is the most humble person I know and never shows off so I’m gonna gas her up for a second.
She spent all of Sunday crafting these little masterpieces, s’mores cupcakes made 100% from scratch! They taste as good as they look. 🤤
Proud of her skilled baking!
Congratulations to
@ScrubbedOut

@MU_esport

Happy birthday to my beautiful travel partner and fellow Jedi! So thankful everyday that you’re my wife 💖
PS: One of our favorite pics bcuz of little homie in the background 😂
@Im2Hyper_
All of this is valid and being addressed internally with the COST team. It was definitely an oversight on our teams part and won’t happen again at any event I’m a part of.
We are excited to introduce the Columbus Stock Exchange, a Smash Ultimate Singles league designed to highlight all of the talent the Columbus scene has to offer.
If we were to host a weekly D&D and/or Magic the Gathering meet up every Wednesday where parties could play all night for a set price (not counting food), would people be interested? This would be at
@GameArenaCBUS
in Hilliard. RTs appreciated for a broader range of responses.
ANNOUNCEMENT: since
@KatakiriG
has been so dominant at the recent
@GameArenaCBUS
Smashlan’d weeklies,
@TheKiest
and I have decided to put a bounty on him. This bounty will begin at the January 2nd Smashlan’d and last for 5 weeklies (that Katakiri attends).
