I fucking love
@ChiefsESC
and every single person involved our success this weekend.
Thank you

for an amazing event, and thank you too everyone who believes in The Chiefs 🏆🏆

“What do you do for work?”
“I work in esports.”
“How about in your free time?”
“Esports.”
“Does doing esports all the time cause you stress?”
“(looks at down at dad bod) Yes”
“Then what activities do you do to relax?”
"...watch esports."
I wonder, could we get some huge charity streams going to support those being impacted by the bushfires?
Looking at you

There are people losing everything. Why not have some fun and give back.
Unreal to think just a week ago we were in Melbourne asking the universe for this moment. Now we are in LA together prepping for one of the biggest moments in

If the OCE esports industry came together to fix the industry as harmoniously as they come together on drama, we'd be in a much better place.
Instead we are much better at gate keeping, witch hunts, and sub tweets.
Stay toxic 👑
Flight attendant:Is there a doctor onboard?
Dad:*nudging me* that should’ve been you
Me: Not now Dad
Dad: Not asking for a content creator to help, are they?
Me: Dad, there’s a medical emergency happening right now
Dad: Go and see if "uploading to multiple platforms” helps
This is how hard a 15 year old me would laugh if I told him one day we would be on the

worlds stage.
What a fucking dream. Not the result the region hoped for, but I couldn't be more proud to be a part of this team.
For now, it's back to work

We haven't talked much about
@ChiefsESC
- one thing is for sure is that change isn't failure.
Chiefs didn't die like so many of you twitter lifers wanted it to. Suck it.
We nearly worked ourselves to death for people who didn't care, for "supporters" to whisper and tweet
Mid 2023, we had to step back and reset.
With
@ChiefsESC
in good hands, we finally took the chance to look at what was next.
Thankfully, we mixed in the good things in life that we had put off; health, camping, weddings, whiskey, and sun 🍻
I am seeing a few posts about Imposter Syndrome at
#PAXAUS
this weekend. I have struggled with it before until an awesome leader drew this up for me. Always remember; Shine, forget about everyone else. You are all talented individuals. DMs are open if anyone ever needs.
I want to thank

@JoshTM
and
@VoltrisCG
for the opportunity to work with OCE's finest 🐐
What you've achieved here is second to none. From trophies to world-first sponsors, there has been no brighter light for our region, period.
Forever grateful 🙏

I've typed this at least three times. That's the first full year with a team, and everyone at

poured their all into it. I've never seen so much dedication and passion before.
Nothing is quite as high, and low, as esports. These guys had an incredible year in the
@LCO
Any streamers/youtubers/content creators who would be keen to jump on a podcast to talk about life, streaming/content and whatever the hell else they want?
Tag away - Who would you want to hear from?
✅ Produce an esports broadcast
Can hardly call it producing with such an insane team and talent on board but stoked with the success of the L'Oreal Men Expert Scouting Grounds.
Also a huge thank you to
@mavrickmaster
for spending literal hours with us to get this going

Looking for more creatives for non esports and esports projects that we have coming up.
✨ Animation/Motion Design/After Effects
✨ Graphic and Brand designers
✨ Copywriters
✨ SEO content writers
+ More
TLDR; f you're a creative freelancer, shoot me a DM and let's chat.
2014 to now, almost ten years apart...
One thing is for sure, I will forever be a Chief 💙
Also, visualisation is a powerful fucking thing hahaha

I'm looking for a few designers for a couple of projects coming up across

and

- Apparel and/or sportswear
- Jersey design
Drop your portfolios please, or email aidenhiko

RT's greatly appreciated friends.
It wasn't in the tweet, but it was in the press release.
@ChiefsESC
will still be a team. Both
@TeamBliss_ES
and Chiefs will operate in tandem. It just hasn't been decided in what way yet.
In other words...
I did an interview with Channel 7 speaking about Apex Legends today, the news grab just said "the new game MORE addicting than Fortnite."
Let's see how this goes!
They will never gas it themselves, but these few lucky months with
@ChiefsESC
have done nothing less than show me how much work
@NickBobir
,
@JoshTM
, and
@VoltrisCG
have put in for both Chiefs, and this region as a whole.
And how much I was incredibly underprepared.
Sorry to everyone I haven't replied to these last couple days!
Late Saturday night my Cat fell from our 4th story balcony and has been a bit of a mission since. Thankfully lil homie has survived with all his bones and is just on a solid cocktail.
Back on deck tomorrow 💚
I have no idea who JFT or BFG is, that is ok.
@ChiefsESC
hasn't done anything in Fortnite since the World Cup.
Not every team has to know every team. Each title should have its own fans and ecosystems.
We won't be an OCE collective all the time, but we can be supportive.
I am keen to take this on tour, and talk to any and all gamers, just shoot me a DM and we can line it up.
The only prerequisite is we touch the grass, obviously.
Chiefs go Camping in 2023?
Introducing 'Touching Grass' - the podcast where gamers touch the grass, and talk a little deeper about their journey 🌿

You do this region proud every single day. Your effort and want for growth in this region are second to none.

Well played by England. Incredible game and a well deserved win. You're the bain of ANZ but I'll be behind you in the final. Kia Kaha.
A lot of people think it's a country gap, but the collaborative nature and dedicated work ethic of influencers here in the US is 100x what OCE does.
The willingness to collaborate alone, instead of chop one another, would mutually transform so many careers in ANZ.
For mental health reasons I've decided that I will be stepping down from working continuously until lunch.
I'll now go back to having Recess.
Thanks for your support. I look forward to playing touch footy on the basketball courts.
Nothing irks me more than people who complain about opportunities but then aren't doing everything they can to ensure they are getting what they supposedly "want".
Nothing is given. There is no such thing as a tap on the shoulder in any industry. It isn't "easy" for anyone.
One month till
@DreamHack
and watching the
@LCO
trophy rise again.
I am certain these boys can go back to back and break the Split 1 curse.
After all, they have broken a few curses these past 12 months.

We have a couple of sick events planned with the new Chiefs "house" as well as other sponsor content.
Just need more Brisbane/GC based creators to get amongst it.
👀
IEM was amazing. I made some incredible new friends and spent unforgettable moments with so many beautiful souls. Discovered so many more reasons why I love working in this industry and have certainly cleared the fog for the future. Let's fucking send it. Yew! 🤙
#IEMSydney
Whenever someone complains about how they don't have a camera or a mic or lights or whatever bullshit excuse they have next.
I show them the king and they are in awe everytime 🙏
Despite the crazy things we have been up to, we still haven't "launched"
@createdbyHYPR
Who are your favourite ANZ creators right now?
Tag them below, time to get back to work ⬇️
Media; We cannot cover this type of content and even TRY and pin it as professional.
Sponsors: This is completely unusable, why would a sponsor even want to return.
Returning Specs/Players: I am not returning to witness that trash.
Organizers: Have enough issues without this.
Content Creators and Esports Players/Teams need brand support more than brands need them.
I don't know why so many people think it's magically the other way around in this industry compared to the rest of the world.
Announcing my new role with
@snowballesports
as their Head of Unbiased Analysis, looking forward to keeping the boys in check and making sure that
@ChiefsESC
sit at the top of all of their power rankings.
Have been a long time fan, so stoked. Peep the header for confirm.
Don't concern yourself with what other people are doing when there is plenty for you to improve yourself.
Huge week ahead for
@ChiefsESC
Full throttle 😈🙌
Three in a row, and a return to the top of Oceanic League of Legends, seems like a good time to bow out and let someone else take the crown 🏆
Unlike some others,
@ChiefsESC
is far from dead yet, and a new chapter will be announced soon.

There is an insane amount of coverage I'm now trying to read through to catch up on all the things I missed at

Disappointed I might have missed the Roaming

though...
On Saturday night my drink was spiked. Sunday was chaos as I tried to "fill in the blanks." Thankfully, nothing went wrong. I just sat by myself for 2.5 hours with no friends / family and no one even went near me.
If I wasn't an oversized human, man. Always stay safe, friends.
They say "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"
But over the last few months,
@TeamBliss_ES
has become nothing but family 💙
I have enjoyed every second of working with this team, and moving forward we will be absolutely unstoppable 🏆
Now is not the time for protests.
Our Emergency services are already at capacity dealing with the fires and affected areas.

The damage is done. Take your marching group and skills to the people that need it.

If you ever wondered what happens to the heart rate when the
@ChiefsESC
boys are playing...
Post Halo win, I hit 151 during Game 4. Just standing and watching 😂
Our little Arthas left us yesterday. Enough cuddles for one life.
With summer coming, do everything you can to ensure your pets are safe. Even that wasn't enough for us
Snakes are fucked this time of the year and I wouldn't wish this upon any little catto.
Rest easy, Prince.
I remember being put on blast for expressing concerns around GFinity. Today's isn't as much a surprise as it is disappointing. When you're investing in a community, you have to listen. Barging in doesn't make you a disruptor. Shame to see for the ones who worked hard on this.
And this is not how we wanted to go out, but the support we received as a region, and the incredible journey this year will be the memory this team keeps.
We will be back next year, and even though we are down a bit now, we will bounce back and
@ChiefsESC
will be on top again.
Today has been... nearly $3000 raised already for

Thanks to everyone who has put their hand up. Especially
@Swift_y
for the stunning website and support. 🙏🌧️
Just got abused for being "one of those dirty blacks taking over her suburb."
Should have seen the look on her face when I told her I am in fact Caramel, not black.
And this is my suburb now.
