One of the most well-known esports photographers @Yicun_liu shares a heartfelt story about photographing Boaster behind the scenes:

“From a photojournalism perspective, every moment, whether a win or a loss, has a reason to be documented. Documenting the lows makes the climb back to the top even more meaningful.

But often, when photographing the players who’ve just lost, standing in front of them with a camera feels ‘cruel’. After all, the biggest stages often bring the greatest pain. Though the rational part of me says: Don’t hesitate. Press the shutter. This is your job.

Yesterday, Boaster broke down in tears in front of me, and pressing the shutter at that moment was really difficult.

At Masters Shanghai 2024, after FNATIC’s loss, Boaster cried backstage, his back facing me, full of sadness. I couldn’t bring myself to go near him.

Later that same year in Berlin, Boaster and Yinsu heard I was doing Worlds and invited me to dinner. During the meal, Boaster asked,

‘Did you take any photos of me crying?’

I said, ‘Sorry, you were too heartbroken that time. I couldn’t bring myself to take the shot.’

He replied, ‘It’s okay. Next time if I cry, just take the photo. I think moments like that make for beautiful memories in my career. Photos like that can be beautiful too.’

Thank you, Jake, for giving me the courage.

Paris, 2025.”

We are hiring entry level Game Designers for both TFT and League!! 🎉🎉 We're looking for Designers that could be great at any of the core design functions on League: Champions, Modes, Ranked/Matchmaking, Balance, Seasonal Updates, etc.

We're looking for passionate League players with deep familiarity.

You don't need to be a high skill player, but you need critical thinking skills, creativity, problem solving, great collaboration skills, a hunger to learn and grow.

Welcoming Career Jumps!

We're particularly interested in professionals from fields that use these skills regularly; law, medicine, consulting, finance, engineering, etc. and haven't considered Game Design as an option.

Maybe you are working in financial modeling and have a Masters in Math and have interest in Ranked/Matchmaking or are working in Law and could use that systemic thinking/edge case spotting for Game Systems. We are willing to teach for the right talent!

We're setting required qualifications at a Bachelors or 2+ years of prior professional experience (in particular, we're interested in people who love League that aren't in gaming fields)

Excited to see all of your applications!!

TLDR: Rare opportunity!! We're hiring for some Game Designer roles that do not require previous Game Design experience, with a major focus on Critical Thinking, Growth Mindset, and game familiarity. So if you're looking to switch careers, great opportunity!

https://t.co/epfVMJyw9B

Longer Post: With things how they are in the world today, we're excited to open up this rare opportunity, as we're looking for the next batch of future Game Designers to help shape our games.

We're looking for strong analytical thinking skills, deep passion for our games, and a growth mind set to come in and absorb and learn and grow into awesome designers.

I'm personally excited as the last time we did this, we ended up with @kentwuhoo who was working in Finance at the time, but came in as a TFT player and absorbed so much, and is now a Senior Game Designer running our finalization team. This could be you!

On the TFT side, the folks we hire will get to be a part of every single set, helping on Live or Finalization, and acting as experts in TFT mechanics, game feel, balance, and so much more. Working directly with folks like Kent, @Chaemirix , and myself. I might even be your manager!

If you seriously think this is you, and you have a deep interest in TFT and Game Design, make sure you apply fast. Stuff like this will fill up quick, and likely have a ton of applicants. We're hoping to find the right folks to come in and help us continue to make our games great.

Good luck, and I look forward to working with whoever ends up getting these roles :)
