@ZenZeroTTV Yeah this is a tough. I have been feeling the same way.

That's why I stopped grinding the casting. I speed ran my LP in like 6 months and casted 2 NA main events last season.. the pay for the hours was insanely low, but I was ok with that IF it could lead to something somewhat substantial. I could tell it was going the opposite way..(paid positions disappearing left and right) top orgs, tourneys, etc. not paying a dime but having very high expectations (for hours and talent)..

It’s been a while but let’s cast some playoff RL!

@SombsRl @ZenZeroTTV While I see what you are saying, but bakkesmod does fill a gap left by the game. I used bakkesmod in order to get game info for Casting Overlays. There are plenty of other uses for Bakkesmod other than skins. Also bakkesmod doesn’t effect console players at all

How does Epic make money from the esport? Do they make money? I mean they're putting up a 7M prize pool this season, do they even make that back? Or does the vast majority of their money come from the casual player buying stuff from the item shop?

Idk why I keep allowing the Bears to get my hopes up, only for them to self destruct. Caleb looked good tho #FireFlus

@ZenZeroTTV It looks interesting. I’ll try it

Who will be playing #MarvelRivals ?

Okay y'all I've got some beef. I have been seeing it talked about that the pros should be doing events for smaller prize pools, less pay, etc. That orgs dropping out of the scene and less events are happening is the fault of the pros for not putting in the effort for content, brand exposure, among other things. Though I agree and wish the pros would do more to support the brands and community they represent... ya'll know that you're at fault too, right? All those bubble scene tournaments and self funded events that you don't watch. All the content creators you don't support. All the sponsored tweets and content from orgs, players, or creators that you don't like/comment on. Your impressions are worth something. By not interacting and supporting the brands behind the scenes, you are telling them their money into the scene isn't worth it. They aren't mindlessly throwing funds at the esport because they love the game like most people are treating it. They are doing it as an investment into their brand and history. Don't let them leave thinking 'that was a mistake.' Stop blaming your 'teammates' and change what you are doing if you want to see things get better.

@ZenZeroTTV I agree on that. But correct me if I am wrong but I thought US players typically make more at the top than any other region. I think that is a factor as well

@Cobra_Cast No other country had a problem with it.. it's honestly what separates the US from EU. We have the talent, just not the passion.

So apparently the "NA avengers" don't want to represent the US for multiple reasons, but money being the focal point. How do y'all feel about that? I'm conflicted.. on one hand, nobody should be forced to do something they don't want to do but on the other hand do you not want to win for your country?!

@ZenZeroTTV Every car should have its own unique hitbox. I want more cars used in pro play. More variety used in general

Give me your RL hot take, please don't crucify me for mine 😭😂 I don't really care about trading much, yes I think we should have it and it's cool to give new players/friends items.. but, at the end of the day it's not that big of a factor outside of a very small minority of the community. I do feel for my fellow creators that mainly used trading for content. That's 99% of the reason I would like it back.

Arsenal, AYYJAYY, Chausette, G2, BDS. You have lost them all in just one season of your so-called new plan. These are creators. These are high level professionals. These are revenue generators that believed in your game. These are core personalities and brands vital to success. These are great people. YOU said these changes would protect creators and players. YOU said YOU would help foster the growth of your people around the scene with or without orgs. Now, YOU remain silent at the most crucial time to build momentum. Is your plan working or is what we have warned you about since last year with a 100+ person survey coming to light? Are you listening? Do you have any heart left? @EpicGames @RLEsports

@ZenZeroTTV Honestly there needs to be changes to the foundations of this esport to make it profitable. This version of it might need to go in order for something new to appear. You may be onto something

@Cobra_Cast Won't lie, I'm ready for it to die. If that's the only thing that can push us to the next chapter of RL then let's do it. In the meantime, most of the top talent will move on in life and when the next RL comes out we will actually have a chance at working our way to the top.

Thoughts? I sadly agree .

@HooSick_RL @LOS_Champs @GLYTCHEnergy @AFiestyTaquito @Swami_Raman @KrlsOfficial @The_JHan @InfThieves @KingKairos_ Yeah this was tough. GGs yall played great today

My signature play at its finest 💪 and beating the number 1 seed team 3-2 what a moment and ending there undefeated streak

@ZenZeroTTV I assume they can’t say Goomba Stomp for Copyright reasons. Nintendo may say something 😂

Isn't this just a Goomba stomp or am I trippin?

@ZenZeroTTV With great power comes great responsibility lol

I shouldn't of said anything, CASTER CURSE!

Surprised that BDS are seperating but more shocked that dralii is expected to leave. I thought that all the talk about Monkeymoon helping with the development of this young player would be a reason to stay. Championships no longer guarantee players stick together…

@erikaishii Congrats!!! You are on a generational run! So excited for this.

I’ve dreamed of this my entire life. But I still can’t believe I’m part of art like this. I am the Ghost of Yōtei.

. @RoyaltySeriesGG Playoffs Return! @Swordfish_HQ Cyan takes on the @Astral_United Supernova Squad for a place in the Top 8.

@Swordfish_HQ Year of Unc? May be inescapable

Just wanted to wish our first ever Caster/Content Creator @Cobra_Cast a Happy Birthday! Was definitely the best decision we ever made asking you to join us on our Esports journey. The big question tho…. Has @Cobra_Cast reached “Unc” status? 🤔. Let us know in the comments! 😆
