@Dom_Sacco @VVVGamer @MonsoonGG Given largely, it was his response to a question about what he'd tell himself, a crying homeless child, I think it clearly shows the passion.

If you want to have a word with him about his feelings and recollection of that moment in his life, and ask him not to swear, be my guest

[Ollie Ring @olliering]

@Dom_Sacco @VVVGamer @MonsoonGG If I remove all of his swearing from my transcript then it comes back a little blank.

Typing f**king or the word makes absolutely no difference to the people who are reading this article.

“Just fucking keep going. Feel the pain, feel the glory. Feel the fucking hate, and everything you can – because ultimately all that shit leads to somewhere that you wanted to be your entire fucking life.”

@MonsoonGG shared his incredible story with us.

"We're the fucking best... then we ended the day in 14th place." 😭

@Monsoongg turned the mic on his own teammate @Blinkzrr ahead of today's ALGS Playoffs at EWC.

@Sentinels' champ on his path into Apex, Japan's fans, and what actually pisses them off about each other.

"It is a funny image: the future of premium gaming book publishing being born in a house full of cardboard, parcel tape, and domestic tension. But it also explains a lot about Bitmap Books."

A forgotten CoD LAN in Paris, 2013. A $75 million World Cup in Paris, 2026.

We spoke to @nicolas_maurer_ about everything in between, and whether @TeamVitality can win it all.

Could the UK’s under-16 social media ban affect Twitch, esports broadcasts and gaming livestreams?

@uk_ie has responded, welcoming recognition that games are distinct from social media while offering to support government on appropriate safety frameworks.

Think the whole STASHD product is.... a bit bonkers really. Seems like not very much thought went into the potential backlash/ramifications/design and language.

Hey-ho!

[Esports Insider @esportsinsider]

Fnatic wants its case-opening site STASHD to be “a place for the insane pulls, the rare finds and the stories you actually want to share.”

But the community disagrees with voices like @FDS_Dragons calling it out. What’s actually wrong with the product?

@BenWoodward @MailSport to be fair, looks like that's struggling too...

Ink in the old quill yet, it seems.

"It’s lazy rhetoric and labelling, when the honest discussion should be about harm prevention and better regulatory oversight of the video game industry as a whole."

#Fortnite fans are up in arms about gambling, following a leak that suggests Epic Games will introduce loot boxes in the future.

But are fans, regulators, and everyone in between missing the point?

Paqueta's uncle transferred Luis Henrique (Betis vs Villareal) R$30,000 in an alleged fixing payment for receiving a booking.

Several financial transactions have been tracked to "Paqueta Island" where the family are based.

[Ollie Ring @olliering]

A report by the CPI on Match Fixing and Sports Betting in Brazil has confirmed the authorities have leaked messages from Lucas Paqueta to his brother promising him a "birthday gift" of a yellow card which he subsequently delivered.

Paquetas Uncle also implicated for fixing.

[Ollie Ring @olliering]

Transactional records and other testimonies have also reportedly corroborated the message.

Can't see him playing for much longer given the heap of evidence. #WestHam #WHU #WHUFC
