@thejanicejj @EmbarkStudios @Schnobben GO GO JANICE WOO

So happy to take on the role of Esports Lead at @EmbarkStudios and work together with the absolute GOAT @Schnobben on THE FINALS Esports! Let's go!

This literally is an episode of the Thick of It

Not on the graphic but I'm secretly actually involved this Wednesday - I'll be subbing in to cast the last few EMEA games, but perhaps more excitingly I'll be observing the whole AMER playday! Fancied some behind the scenes action 🎬

@GraduatingTV fucking love Jacob Jeffries.

When I’m having the most intense light 1v1 of my life and my teammates are asking for heals

@JakeSucky Shoutout to @Schnobben and Janice who are the ones stepping up to the plate! Already been doing a lot of hard work for the past few years on esports (and much else) within Embark. The best hands for the job

Embark Studios have announced the start of a dedicated team to support esports for The Finals The game will also feature a $150,000 Grand Major in Stockholm this year

A huge indication of the commitment from Embark to the esport scene. And Oscar and Janice have already been doing an incredible job for a while, so this is truly welcome.

@Schnobben Amazing news!

Cat’s out of the bag, my friends! As of last Friday, Janice and I have new roles and new responsibilities on THE FINALS 👑 We’re serious about the future of THE FINALS, and esports has a real place in it. This is the start of an internal, dedicated, team to support that. (1/3)

THEY RUINED FEAST WTFFFFF 😤

@roo404_ Lowkey it's because most esports pro players are eboys.

why is it anytime a woman is involved in esports they're some 'egirl' Trying my best to give players more opportunities but having it thrown in my face because im a woman sucks

This post resonates with me very deeply. Tier 2 work in Rocket League has been dead for 2 years now. No paid team streams. No third party events. Third party collegiate work has died off. Rates across the board have fallen or remained frozen. There is 0 future in this game as a talent if you aren't a content creator or RLCS caster or both. This is not me targeting those two groups, it is simply a fact. The talent pipeline no longer exists and has forced me to look towards other titles and backend work as a focus now. Its sad because I have dedicated 10 years to this game and given it my all but with esports shrinking as a whole this means the opportunities have dried up as well. I would love to spend more time making content and running events and doing watch parties like I used to for the rocket league community but I can only give so much with seeing how little return there is. I will always cast the game whenever there is an opportunity, go to events when I am available, and communicate with the RL community when I can. But without sustainability, I can't keep this song and dance up much longer. Thankfully Marvel Rivals has given me new life as a talent. The open application system and interview process has been a breath of fresh air. I wish more titles took this approach as having pathways of advancement and feedback are essential for growth as a talent. Forever blessed to finally be given the opportunity to prove myself on a tier 1 stage. But even then, its not enough to make a living off of as someone who turns 30 this year and has adult responsibilities. My advice for all budding talent is simple. Either work multiple titles or focus on one and do full time content and casting (if tier 1). Have a day job or background work you can do in the off time and not have to rely solely on net 30+ contracts to pay your bills. The only casters I see working full time are either those tier 1 in multiple titles or the others who are full time content creators and cast tier 1 for their specified game. Even if you are satisfied with the game you are focusing on it doesn't hurt to dip your feet into other titles or backend work and see where they can take you. Best of luck <3

Very happy to see my local council change hands to Green! I was half expecting a No Overall Control result, but going from 0 to 32 is staggering. Will be good to see what Green policy enacted at a local level looks like in practice.

@Schnobben They just never miss

Most talented dev team in gaming 🤝
