I'm delighted to say that I've joined Insider Gaming as part of their esports team! 🥳 I'm really grateful for the opportunity that @InsiderGamingIG have given me, and I'm excited to crack on starting next Monday!

@MythixOfficial I guess if Arsenal can break their curse Liquid can...

@boocull Appreciate the communication, Sam. I'm going to shoot you a few follow up questions in DMs. Thanks.

@FallingDarragh It’s pretty straightforward- we withdrew from Dota due to the challenges in commercial landscape around the title - in doing that we no longer met the two-title requirement for EWC. It’s fair enough!

This is a huge story. You don't just leave (at minimum) six-figures on the table in normal circumstances. I have reached out to Heroic and the Esports Foundation to try to get insight on the decision, and whether that empty Club Partner spot will be taken by another org.

It felt so great to have the emotion of an engaged crowd at MKOI's LEC Roadshow. Then we have to go back to Berlin for the playoffs (womp womp) insider-gaming.com/roadshows-crea…

karrigan's Falcons debut being introduced by @RLewisReports just feels right.

The statements imply that KeSPA will have autonomy in their player selection, but the proof is in the pudding. It won't be until KeSPA unveils its ENC LoL line-up that we'll really know whether the Esports Foundation got anything out of this reconciliation.

Full statement from the Esports Foundation regarding KeSPA's return as South Korea's National Team Manager:

@AN1MOCS2 I think either's fine. They're both entertaining maps at the pro level, though I understand people find Inferno more of a pain to play. To me, I still love the rotation and util aspect of Inferno. For me, it makes it something we don't have elsewhere, unlike Dust.

@FallingDarragh Thoughts on Dust over Inferno?

Honestly, I was sceptical about Cache's return. I thought it played too similarly to Ancient to be in the map pool, but it's honestly such a breath of fresh air right now. Ideal map pool 2026 edition: - Cache - Train - Nuke - Mirage - Inferno - Overpass - Ancient

@EthanFl0wZ Cache me outside, how about that?

@FallingDarragh Our friendship is terminated

@hannahmariezt @playnewmeta My 🐐

Career update: Alongside maintaining a presence in freelance journalism (a few eagle-eyed readers noticed my first article for Red Bull Gaming last month), I am also stepping into a Director of Communications and Brand Development position with @playnewmeta’s new team. To celebrate, I’m spending my Friday at the @violetsimon_ Disruptors Festival for discussions about women in leadership, navigating opportunity, and utilising femininity for positive change! Looking forward to doing some good things, and thankful for the incredible support I continue to receive as I keep navigating my way through the esports, gaming, and tech industries 🙏🏻
