In some personal news, I will be working full-time with
@eUnitedgg
as of 1/1.
I've been juggling my real job and eUnited for two years now, but we've come to a point where my full attention needs to be on the growth of eU.
Pumped. 2019, we're coming.
Ex-eUnited staff continuing their careers in our industry at:
100T
Spacestation
Maryville University
Rekt Global
Psyonix
HiRez
AOE Creative
Twitch
The World Championships were cool, but giving these people a platform to start their careers and learn is what I’m most proud of
We are beyond blessed to welcome Emma Noelle DeHart to the world!
She didn’t want to come out nice and easy so we had to have an unplanned trip to the OR, but mommy and baby are doing great.
BABY BRUTE IS HERE!!!
Five years ago today, eU acquired
@Clayster
. I still remember exactly where I was when I found out it was happening and knew it would be huge for us.
It ended up paying off better than anyone could imagine.
Then we lost CoD and the brand was flushed into the toilet.
Guys like
@ACHES
are why call of duty is different. Not everyone needs participation trophies, bows and handshakes. Sometimes you need a villain and he’s been cast in the role for years.
👏
You want to know how to attract talent in a competitive market?
You position your job listings like
@version1gg
does.
The entire listing reeks of transparency and commitment to their employees. A lot of esports orgs could learn from this.
Imagine working at a company and your boss quits, and then instead of you showing up to work the next day to continue working the boss' boss tells you that you and your team are not allowed to work there any more
Seems a bit f'd, no?

TurnUp: qualified for CWL Champs

You guys have more than 100,000 esports fans following you. Wouldn’t it be a better use of such a substantial platform to showcase talent across the thousands of players, leagues and teams in esports instead of … this?
I have a longer tweet to post later today, but wanted to get this off my chest quickly:
Look - I get it. CoD fans are disappointed. I can't lie, when building this campaign I did want to engage our old community - but I did not foresee the OG/NV/Paris news which built up hype
Last Monday Kit Harrington’s phone rings
Kit: hello?
Game of thrones writers: hey kit as you well know the show is fucked and everyone’s hates us now. We need you to come film one more scene and we’ll splice it in.
Kit: uh ok
*pets ghost*
I apologize to all eUnited fans and especially our players for costing us a victory during the BO4 season.
We won Miami Finals and Champs in that season, but we could’ve also won that initial event in Vegas if I didn’t make a meme two months beforehand on Halloween.
Sorry 😔

, and there are TONS, we need you to get LOUD today.
This team feeds off energy. Look at London and Champs last year for example.
I do not want to see one eUnited fan with their mouth closed now on!
Remember: it’s cool to be disappointed by a teams finish because you’re a fan.
It’s not cool to personally attack them. If you feel bad, they assuredly feel worse.
Okay, new idea.
@eUnited
adds three interns to work with us and learn different aspects of the organization while we’re all here at home. The kicker:
Your interview takes place in a Warzone trios match. The interview ends when we wipe. If we win, your interview is elongated.
Firm handshakes to the nine other teams in the league that have kept this a secret for OVER A YEAR.
Meanwhile, the second someone wants a narrative to build up hype in other scenes, there's six leaks across four different esports publications.
Really love R6. Our first year has been a rollercoaster. A lot of good, but a lot of bad too.
It is really rough to build your brand in a game when a season/stage started on September 15th, and nearly a month to the day the season is over, one team relegated, and we sit on the
If you play halo and aren’t following Shyway, fix that. He’s like those little pamphlets that came in the game cases except the information inside is tremendously helpful to evolve as a player

This is so disappointing to me, surely OWL had some concrete numbers on why everyone having the same designs is a terrible idea right?
some of these brands have some incredible creatives that I know personally behind them.. why extinguish that talent and disallow creativity?

The focus for these esports leagues has to focus on sustainability and protection for esports organizations that invest hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars into ecosystems.
And protections need to be put in place to protect players, the true lifeblood
