Deeply & incredibly disappointed in the esports community today
“Forced to step back” is wildly disingenuous when a suspension is handed out for not cooperating in an investigation

Okay so folks are harping on OWL for women being absent on the rosters…
again 😐
This is not an OWL issue this is a GAMING issue
There are only around 100 women who have earned more than $10k in tournaments & only around 50 who have earned over $50k ACROSS ALL TITLES 🧵

An ex-boyfriend once told me I shouldn’t play video games because I’m a girl (after I asked if I could hop on his PC because I was bored while he played on his console)... I moved on to work on LotV, SC2 Esports, & now Overwatch League 😏

She was the main activity designer for Excision, it was a wild ride getting the activity off the ground and I’m so happy & honored I got to be her producer through it
Cheers Milan, so damn proud of you 🥹
The Witness has retreated from the monolith - but, an important battle awaits.
We'll need all Guardians available to help us defeat the Witness, once and for all.
Rally with us and launch into Excision, a newly unlocked 12-player activity.

Guilt can’t be proven when there’s no investigation & the victim is harassed to the point of mental degradation
I’m sure it was a calculated decision to not cooperate in the investigation in hopes of receiving a lesser punishment. It worked

This was just a little over six years ago 🥺… now down to 12 people (in all of Activision-Blizzard Esports)
Im so sorry to those that were let go, who still believed in OW Esports, you all deserved better 💔

They laid off 60/72 staff members.

When gross sexist things were talked about in the Skybox during early OWL, people "listened"
When myself and others on my team consistently brought up issues we were facing, little to nothing was done. But people "listened"
There's been enough listening

Scarlett winning a major SC2 title the first time an esport was included in the Olympics people (men) massively downplayed the achievement. This is reflective of how women are treated while even just trying to improve in a competitive game, again, putting them at a disadvantage..

Then the unimaginable amount of shit those women get would scare off most from even bothering. This is true for when they’ve cracked the surface of being a “pro” but just getting there women are put at a significant disadvantage due to their online experience compared to a man’s

Do not invest your energy on an “Esports Education”.
If, after the multitudes of red flags & issues in the industry, you still want to work in esports figure what you want to do (ie: project management, production, comp ops, etc…) study/learn that discipline & go from there.
🎓 Bachelor degrees aren't the only choice anymore.
With esports education on the rise in the UK, more students should be considering a Higher National Diploma in esports, argues Iain Earle of Salford Business School (
