Our Counter-Strike team is heading to Astana, Kazakhstan this Saturday, becoming the first-ever collegiate team to compete in a Tier 1 / S-Tier professional Counter-Strike event. Good luck, team! You make Fisher proud.

i'm more surprised this didn't happen until now

trans women are my sisters and will forever be that -- they deserve the world and so much more love you ladies

As we close out Stage 1 groups, I'll put out that I am a Free Agent willing to support a team in ANY capacity whether you are looking to scale for Playoffs+Masters OR looking to rebuild for Stage 2 OR are taking Challengers seriously. There will be more new Agents, maps and patches to deal with this year. I know where the meta is, where it's going and how to adapt to whatever patch happens. This is my track record: ▫️I was 2 years early on Yoru being broken. ▫️I was 5 months early on the new Harbor being good. ▫️I was the first person in Pacific 2025 to lean heavily into Vyse on her release. ▫️I was the first person to show and win Corrode in Pacific. I had a horrible 2025 season and will happily take most of the blame for poor results. It made me hungrier. Everyone who has worked with me will speak to my work ethic and commitment to winning. I have an extensive body of work to show and my DMs are open.

I came to the team with the idea of me leaving and we discussed this and the future of the team. After this discussion with everyone, including myself, we all agreed it was best for me to leave. Not everything in life has to workout and that’s okay. I am super grateful to have played for such a great organization filled with friends and amazing people and I wish them all the best going forward! Until next time ladies and gentlemen 😼

During the Mexico vs Poland game, I was on my way back home after visiting my grandmother in the state of Guerrero so I didn't catch the action as it happened. But man, the nerves I felt when I saw Lewandowski get a penalty was insane...and still Memo saved it. Love him forever

i don't like all this hype surrounding the team knowing the rockets, it always gives me a false sense of security

@IanImmi hmm

Gulp

i had high hopes for charly when he joined the national team in 2019 but for all of his success for club and country, he never really reached a point where he became a reliable and dependable starter in the midfield for the national team he basically became antuna 2.0 for me

ese es mi chavo imaginemonos cosas….

@luismmira The goat.

Over the last three months, I spoke with nearly two dozen people who have worked at GamerLegion. It started as a story about late payments in the CS team and became something much bigger as I talked to more and more people.

@slope_s_ @hoffasaurusx I never said that. What I said in the second tweet describes the implication of ENC doing the same thing of pushing for certain players for different countries in the future. And I was also describing other federations in the ENC. NOT KeSPA.

@PayTheRow @hoffasaurusx You are saying kespa, the organization that has ran esports in Korea for the past 2 decades, is propped up because of an event that was created 2 years ago?

ENC pushed for certain players to be selected for the South Korean national team. KeSPA said no since they’ve been in charge of the selection process for many years. So KeSPA leaves and it looks like ENC will devise their own process anyway. It’s ENC’s way or the highway 😬

@hoffasaurusx It can also be the said for all the other federations working in the ENC. Who’s to say this doesn’t happen to China or any other big national team. And this is in an event where aforementioned federations were finally propped up BECAUSE of the ENC.

@PayTheRow It might be KeSPA's way or the highway for Korean players. KeSPA Licences for LoL players are still a thing right?

If ENC thinks they can out-thug KeSPA, boy are they going to be surprised.

I’d honestly think the same should be said for VCT contracts too. All we hear is the duration of the contract but not the amount itself. How does that make sense?

This is great, but imagine how much better it would be if LoL required disclosure of contract values like traditional sports?
