Back again with @OfficialBoaster after a year. Time to start stretching!
Full interview below linked⬇️

[Jack Freeman @JackelBat]

Was an absolute pleasure to interview @OfficialBoaster
Hopefully we'll talk again soon...

[Sam Cunningham @SamiOnEsports]

With the AI-ification of @Esports_News_UK, UK esports has lost its home for reliable news.

- The scene deserves its stories to be told properly.

- Writers deserve a platform that values their work, not one that uses their work to replace them.

- The community deserves consistent coverage of the passion we all share.

I'm currently working on a project that can provide all the above.

We're bootstrapping it from the off with a profit-share model for contributors as we build sustainably.

If you've got thoughts on what the scene needs or want to get involved, I'd love to talk.

[Jack Freeman @JackelBat]

Side thought of the day: has anyone heard much about @amshy_official?
I can't find much about them and it seems they haven't played a competitive match yet

[Jack Freeman @JackelBat]

@FallingDarragh Is this the CS equivalent of jungle diff

[Jonno Nicholson @Jonno_Nicholson]

Finally got around to creating a portfolio showcasing some of my most recent work and other pieces I'm particularly proud of.

If you're looking for an experienced esports writer, get in touch!

@hannahmariezt Finally beat the system! Now the next nightmare

[vivian @b1ackparadex]

if any journalists/anyone have transcriptions of their CN-EN interviews at FST, feel free to send me a DM if you want them transcribed & translated!
(Interpreters do a great job of maintaining the flow of the interview, but since there's no real-time transcription, it's really difficult to get every single word translated properly (and trust me i would know because i've been in that seat). tho im not working first stand this year, i still want to prevent good content from being lost in translation! )

[Jack Freeman @JackelBat]

No presale and no riot id verification will make it an all out brawl.

[Tom Daniels @TheTomDaniels]

Didn't expect to be saying this...

After nearly five years as Esports Insider’s Editor, I've been informed that my role is at risk of redundancy.

As such, I'm actively looking for any opportunities! Both in PR and journalism.

Sucks to see ESI go out this way 💔

[Jonno Nicholson @Jonno_Nicholson]

Not the news I was expecting, but as of today, my role at Esports Insider is at risk of redundancy.

While this is extremely disappointing, it does mean that I am actively looking for a new place to call home, whether it's writing or a move to PR.

RTs/leads appreciated!

[Jack ‘Fresh’ Allen @FreshOnDesk]

I'm looking to speak to aspiring Casters, Analysts, Broadcast Talent & Production Staff that would be interested in getting involved with an upcoming personal project of mine within Rainbow Six

DM to discuss 🙂

@Dom_Sacco @stayfreshshoe Kind of thankful this didn’t go ahead to create a new set of missed payments

[Dom Sacco @Dom_Sacco]

I spent:

- My childhood reading hundreds of games magazines
- Teenage years doing work experience at games magazines & newspapers
- 3 years & a debt studying journalism at uni
- 2 decades of full-time journalism and writing work

To be replaced by this AI.

@hannahmariezt @JamadaLoL Thanks for taking up most of my afternoon with such an interesting read

[Dom Sacco @Dom_Sacco]

There aren’t really the words to describe how frustrated and upset I am that writers have been let go by the current owners of Esports News UK.

@hannahmariezt, @FallingDarragh and @Ginjured have done an incredible job over the past year, they’ve gone above and beyond with their content, have worked really hard, and managed to continue my legacy/focus on UK angles while also handling other broader content the newer owners asked for.

I cannot recommend them highly enough.

To any other site owners and hirers out there looking to pick up writers who can handle esports/gaming news, interviews, event coverage, investigative write-ups and more, I really hope they give these three a look.

Good luck to all of them and please do support them if you can. I know Hannah has set up a Substack in the meantime too.

[Hannah Marie ZT @hannahmariezt]

We need to talk.

I found out last week that I, along with an unfathomable number of freelancers working under the company that owns ENUK, lost my freelance job.

AI played a significant role in this mass job loss. So let me be clear:

Journalism can NEVER be replaced with AI ⬇️

[Jack Freeman @JackelBat]

Interesting to see this new direction for the NLC.
Bigger focus on content and gimmicks for better or worse?

[NLC - Northern League of Legends Championship @NLClol]

New teams, new format, and a new look. The 2026 season of NLC will bring big changes.

So, here's @BroxahLoL explaining everything you need to know.
