Can relate to this so hard. Excerpt from @RyanAtRBM's interview in @LeaderGrev's super good esports Exit Interview series

What better way to announce that @heroicgg will be attending and speaking at @esportsinsider's #ESILisbon than with a dumb skit about our CFO being unfrozen from the Esports Winter.

Let's meet at ESI and/or SBC next week for 🍺or ☕️

@Dafydd00 right who platformed this guy

@jenskoornstra That pasta looks GLOSSY, perfection

@JackJGaming 1. Jason Lake buying Complexity was big news
2. Opposite of complexity is simplicity
3. Project is to simplify the code

When the IOC says your favourite esport can't be in the Olympic Esports Games because of its violent themes

@Dom_Sacco Knew it! The hashtags didn't sound on brand for you

[Jake Nordland @callmeprivate]

More and more the top (or featured) search result for my query is a LinkedIn/Medium post or other UGC *clearly* written by AI.

The fact Google is preferencing not just AI writing but AI writing by a random user with no credibility/authority on the subject is highly concerning

@JackJGaming Where are ya?

@LayWast3 @LSXYZ9 There's absolutely no way Liquid forced their players to do this. Would've only made this decision if the players were on board

[Jake Nordland @callmeprivate]

A really good piece by @AithusaHere on esports team finances and executives' thoughts on the Esports Winter

There's quite a few reveals in this piece including several teams *claiming* they're profitable (or close), plus insight into Riot's payouts to teams that drive engagement

[Esports Insider @esportsinsider]

In a sweeping look at the financial health of esports organisations, Esports Insider spoke to executives from several leading teams to assess the health of the space — and answer the question: Are we ready to talk about an Esports Spring?

@JoeLovelace13 @BBCNews @MetroUK @TransWorldSport @Forbes and the BBC even spelt esports right!

@Esports_News_UK Good spot as usual from ENUK

@Friday5155 @Coco_VLR @TacticalRab @Sheep_Esports I think Sheep monetising via YT/Twitch might work but more bcos of direct/parasocial relationships driving subs/donations rather than video ad revenue (unless that's what you meant!)

[Jake Nordland @callmeprivate]

@Friday5155 @Coco_VLR @TacticalRab @Sheep_Esports imo it's the ad supported journalism model that's the problem, not the platform on which you run your ad supported journalism. Realistically I don't think monetising via YouTube/Twitch could sustain a publication

@ukcsgo @Dafydd00 @esportsinsider ESI London networking stock photo strikes again

[Jake Nordland @callmeprivate]

@jfudge The conflicts here for Esports Awards are immense. Will people who criticise Saudi Arabia get chosen? Will journalists speaking the truth about the country get chosen? Even if they do, they’ll have to go to a country that kills dissidents for being critical to receive their award

[Jake Nordland @callmeprivate]

@jenskoornstra Congrats Jens <3

[Cecilia D'Anastasio @cecianasta]

A strong games press is especially important as the lines blur btwn gaming and social media/big tech. There are so fucking many stories to write. These senseless layoffs are especially painful as reactionary YouTubers with no journalism training eat away at journalism's mindshare
