When I was 19, I ran a Worlds Watch Party for my community at a Dave & Busters. We watched SKT T1 & Faker win for the 2nd time. I’m 28 now, and ran a sold out Worlds Watch Party at one of the most famous venues in NYC. T1 & Faker won for the 5th time. Life is so surreal. 🍀

legitimately getting to the point where the negativity surrounding Overwatch is more tiresome than the design/balance mistakes that lead to the negativity. I'm constantly critical of the bad, I also praise the good. I also enjoy playing the game a lot. I'm also optimistic about the direction of the game, even if it's 3 steps forward, two back. yesterday's patch is a great example. Yeah, Juno is too weak. Yeah the Sombra/Mercy stuff is pretty aimless/weird, but I really feel like the Sojourn stuff is extremely promising, and I love the experimentation with LW/Kiriko, too. It was a flawed, but overall decent patch. I'm having fun playing the game. I'm looking forward to the 6v6 test. I'm excited for upcoming experimentation of other systems, and I've got a million content pieces I'm looking forward to putting together. Oh yeah, and Juno may be weak but I've really enjoyed playing her the last 24 hours. Passion /=/ low-effort critique or emotional outburst. If I hated the game and had no faith in the devs, I'd quit. I'm not going to beat the definition of insanity by farming clout by "OVERWATCH IS BAD" for the umpteenth time, especially when that has a heavy impact on community perception. I literally have people in my DMs who enjoy the game, but are getting burned out because someone is telling them the game is bad. The worst part about it, is it's poisoning the well of legitimate criticism overall. Any opportunity to offer legitimate criticism to the development is, once again, poisoned because people are constantly angry, and so all the valuable criticisms are lost in a well of emotion. And because emotion gets attention on Twitter/YT, the behavior is reinforced, and so the cycle continues. Heck, we're so angry at Overwatch, we're not critiquing Marvel Rivals (a game with immense potential) to the point it deserves. It NEEDS a critical eye, and folks are completely missing the opportunity to give it valuable criticism because "haha better than overwatch." This whole counter-culture nonsense when it's cool to thoughtlessly hate to "beat the shills," is reaching political-fervor level nonsense, and it's exhausting to have these conversations over YT/Twitch constantly the past year. If you're upset at the game, it's time to move on, because your opinion is no longer in good faith, whether purposefully or not. maybe i'll make a video about this soon, tired of all the work I put into thoughtful/creative criticism getting lumped into lazy hate, and the praise I give getting lumped into blizzard shill. It's frustrating, but not surprising, that people are completely incapable of understanding nuance, and would rather turn their brains completely off.

******** is a great game that can't be talked about yet, i personally love it, but don't listen to people who think it will kill overwatch it's a moba first and will be a huge game in the gaming, it's more comparable to dota not everything is the "overwatch killer" LOL

When ********* releases in full, it's going to hit OW like an atomic bomb. Based on current player habits, I think not only will it decimate much of the current pro scene - but it's going to give the casual space a severe haircut on player count. Way more than Valorant did.

I'm trying something new! I've always wanted to do long-form interviews about people's esports careers. For my pilot episode, @Custa was kind enough to agree. 2 hours covering his time on @FNATIC, Dallas Fuel & LA Valiant, and his broadcasting career. 👇 Link in replies

Oh, I guess reply to this tweet if you want it. I'll figure out how to randomize it. Don't follow, quote, retweet, or whatever people ask. Shits lame as hell.

Who wants this Rein hammer thing? I have a code to either give away or use, I never play Rein. I'd rather give it to someone who plays Rein.
