Very excited to announce that I have joined the incredible team over at the @washjustice Looking forward to building something special here in D.C for years to come! #JusticeIsServed

Not suggesting you should speak positively on them either way- IMO, the focus should be on how do you incentivize publishers to build league structures that create ecosystems where teams are motivated to invest. vs. current systems that do not promote that I find it difficult to fault teams for making decisions that are best for their business based on the current league economics that they are a part of

@Keiranthil I don’t care if they make money off the sale; speaking positively on an organization that is actively tanking one of the slots in the league therefore hurting everybody else around them is pathetic

Why is Cloud9 even in CoD? Like just get rid of your slot already then

Publisher & team incentives don’t align. Publisher moves make sense only if you see game financial health > esports ecosystem. If you want to stay sane in esports, need to map decisions from that truth.

@TarunAmasa @OpenAI Would love to check it out!

It’s official. We’ve raised $14m led by @OpenAI Startup Fund to bring AI to Excel. Endex is the first AI agent to live inside Excel. For the past year, we've been working with financial firms. Today we’re releasing it to the world. Our capacity is limited; comment below for an early invite 🧵

@XXIV_Concept Ikea countertop hack is the way to go!

where do I get butcher block to build a desk?

Actually unreal there is a limit on @gmail labels in 2025... 🙃

Not sure there is a product anymore... Fandom is driven by creating emotional attachment around players and brand identities- why am I rooting for TL (do they represent my city, what I stand for as an individual, do they have players I personally identify with) But even before you get to that point you need to identify is there even a case for an esport to exist. Is there a real ROI to have franchised leagues, would Riot be better off investing dollars into paid marketing vs. esports (from a margin perspective) etc. From a team / owner perspective, are we better off putting that cash in the S&P and seeing what happens... Personally only really think esports works if you align incentives, align teams & publishers in one direction, and create a product that everyone wants to be a part of for the next 10 years (with a defined roadmap that the public can rally behind).

🤷🏼‍♂️ Half tempted during the MSI break to go to Washington Square with a sign asking “Why did you stop watching LCS?” Think I would get some interesting responses over a few hours if my phone battery held up

@cclayton214 We sure were! @its_wils0n didn't tell me you guys were coming 😔

@Keiranthil wait were you at the game too?!?

Easily one of the most iconic sports moments I've ever witnessed live #RaiseHail

@fuckitseominsoo @washjustice

I miss you @washjustice 💔

@owlstatsnet Ha, if you can coordinate getting them when they get taken down, they're all yours!

My comment has 24 upvotes. Surely the universe wants this to happen, @Keiranthil!

The @NBA2KLeague brought me to DC, is the reason I met my wonderful partner, and introduced me to folks that I am honored to call lifelong friends Forever thankful to have been a part of it's journey and would be happy to help any players or staff navigate what comes next.

@IsThisThingJon @KourtsideKing @capsgaming Was never a doubt that you guys were going to be great and loved watching you become a staple for casting here in DC 🙌🙌

This journey wouldn't have happened without @Keiranthil, who gave two esport podcasters a shot and brought @KourtsideKing and me on board for the inaugural @capsgaming event back in 2018-2019. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: thank you for believing in us, Grant!

Do you love tennis? 🎾 We’re looking for interns to join our team this summer! Apply to our summer internship program today by sending your cover letter and resume to jobs@mdetennis.com

I've struggled this week to even find the words to describe just how sad it is watching esports regress to this level. This system is not economically sustainable for players or teams and represents a complete surrender in having esports aspire to be a standalone industry.
