Everything at #ComboBreaker was bigger than ever: the venue, the collaborations, and the HYPE!

Happy #Pride! With LGBTQIA+ celebrations in full swing, it's a great time to revisit our most recent op-ed about @SonicFox5000's "#IMGAY" declaration — and why it's a pivotal moment for #esports players and fans around the world. https://t.co/UcSt5pP3jQ

[ProvingGrounds.TV @ProvingGroundTV]

A moment of bravery and honest can influence culture for the better, and @SonicFox5000's "#IMGAY" push may have been that moment for esports.

@archerneedsfood talks about the importance of #IMGAY and reaffirming LGBT+ identity in pop culture. https://t.co/UcSt5pP3jQ

The #DBFZ World Tour's offline events left Argentinians behind, but local tournament organizers saw a chance to form a community just as good.

@Lucasjrivarola dives into the DBFZ Buenos Aires tour, a fan-run #esports circuit built from the ground up. https://t.co/7npxIWakcn

(There's nothing wrong with either! 😊)

We're prepping to put out another fantastic feature! So here's a poll: Do you enjoy more "grassroots" #esports scenes like FGC titles, dance games and obscure games, or do you go right for the big, flashy scenes like League, Overwatch and others?

I just added smart ping emoji to the @ProvingGroundTV discord so it's basically the best thing ever now.

In the early days of this "refocus," as we've called it, Victoria pulled together the Refocus Plan, drawing on PGTV's struggles and successes to focus on the site's goals and needs. As another act of transparency, you can read this guiding document here: https://t.co/8HqlOQndlR

We're officially proud to announce Proving Grounds is publishing again!

We want to thank everyone who's worked with us as we worked through our "refocus project," as we've called it internally. We're hyped to make an impact in #esports, and the work's just beginning!
