Happy Spring Break to me 🥰 let’s address the personal attacks against me plus the issue in question with BBB/Stockton. I am the Host of BBB, I work production and marketing, and my platform is the main one used for messaging surrounding the event. I did help with seeding and the organization but know that the decisions made were made by COMMITTEE. BBB is an event that must be taken absolutely serious, it currently will stand as the most competitive CRL LAN ever next to CRL Worlds, so when a team is ruled on, it has to be public information as this is a major public event. For those of you who have followed me or known me over the years you know why I work in Esports. I don’t do this for money or attention, I service students across the nation while still being an active student for little to no money. I share no ill thoughts towards Stockton, my first ever LAN viewing experience was CECC 2022, where I met Busse, TopCheese, and Drip, all good people. And now I’ve gotten to become close friends with Valk, and Ant actually learned about BBB from my twitch chat, so I have no reason to hate these guys. Now when the decision came through regarding Stockton’s player specific ban from the next BBB, it got out of hand. Within 30 minutes I had gotten DMs from Stockton players and absurd replies under the original post (which you can check my replies and see) acting like I was using Stockton as a scapegoat for free clout. I take my career and actions VERY seriously, and I associate myself with BBB because for years it has been a premier event in the southeast, ran by incredible, decent people, and now is getting the national attention it deserves. I also have spent my entire career as a student leader in the space, so I understand I’m equally tied between school admin and collegiate players, and I’ve only done my best to service both. But that also means I’m obligated to stand by my decisions regardless of which side it’s on and working this event is no different. So if you are close with Stockton and side with their story, so be it. Or if you side with Kentucky, so be it. DreamHack, NECC, ECAC, CRL, Colleague, and more have all worked with me because they trust my ability to preform and deliver fair journalism through coverage and casting, that’s my job, plain and simple. All this hate about the ruling coming my way is completely out of order acting like I’m the reason Stockton was punished, when the event staff found that Stockton intentionally DQd early in uppers, alongside unprompted disrespect from Stockton towards said staff, and me for some reason. My DMs stay open, but you’re attacking someone who has done nothing but do his best to push Collegiate Esports to the next level and inspire change while doing it. You can call me whatever you want, but my service to this community won’t change, and BBB will still be the one of the best Collegiate LANs ever put on, that’s my job and my mission as Host. The facts have been laid down, decisions have been made, and I’ll see everyone live from Kentucky, March 29-30th.
