Endgame was awesome. Never have I seen such an ambitious movie put together so well and so successfully. It truly felt like a culmination of 10ish years of a story. No doubt that this movie will stand the test of time as a cultural icon for this era of fans. #DontSpoilTheEndgame

What Alex Eala is doing right now is incredibly rare.

She’s not just winning matches.

She’s changing what young Filipinos believe is possible.

The greatest impact of this victory won’t be the rankings. (Granted beating the #2 player in the world is crazy)

It’ll be the thousands of kids watching and saying:

“If she can do it, maybe I can too.”

To me, this is beautiful. No excuses, no unassailable mountain.

Loss of life (young life at that) brought about by avoidable circumstances that the victims were exposed to by authority figures that were supposed to care and nurture them - is a tragedy that requires accountability. No it won’t bring back Divine and Rene, but we cannot allow people in power to be protected when their authority and status were wielded to put young men in precarious situations that took their lives. There’s anecdotes on record of precedent, there’s a grieving mother asking for the most basic details amid official statements saying they are ‘working closely’ with the families.

Investigate this to the fullest. Basketball is by no means more important than protecting our young people, most especially those who come from backgrounds that force them and their families to look at a roster spot, game minutes, a coaching staff’s favor and approval - as tickets to a better life.

Pay close attention to who says what, if anything at all. If you’re not enraged by the avoidable accident that took the lives of two young men, if your instinct is to protect an institution’s reputation over condemning those responosible for two boys dying, if you would rather be silent because you’re worried about relationships or your place in the industry, then you’re part of the problem.

This was avoidable. This was negligent. It’s only basketball, ffs. There are people responsible. Hold them accountable.

Nike has released their first advertisement for Victor Wembanyama after making the NBA Finals in his postseason debut:

“He has arrived.”

Dota 2 completely changed my life.

I never made it pro, but getting involved in this scene gave me a career, let me travel the world, and introduced me to an incredible community of people, some of whom I am proud to call my friends.

That is exactly why it hurts so much to say this out loud: The Dota 2 esports scene is dying rapidly, and we’ve been ignoring the red flags since, imo, 2020.

When the world stopped spinning during COVID-19, and when geopolitical crises later destabilized crucial tournament organizers in CIS region, the landscape of Dota changed. We lost some TOs who helped shape this scene.

Yet, instead of a reality check, the industry doubled down on unsustainable spending. Why? Because we were blinded by two massive financial anomalies:

The International 2021 peaked at an unprecedented, historic $40M prize pool.

The Riyadh Masters got onto the scene in 2022 with $4M, $15M a year later.

Because the very top of the pyramid was flushed with an absurd amount of money, everyone ignored the rotting foundations. Teams started to demand revenue shares from tournament organizers, and player salaries climbed to absurd heights.

But the bubble has officially burst.

Today, TI prize money has drastically fallen from its peak. The Riyadh Masters prize pool plummeted from $15M to $2M, even lower than its inaugural year.

The money has dried up, but the cost structures haven't adapted. Player salaries remain heavily inflated, and the math simply no longer works for esports organizations. Without a betting company, you can't justify having a Dota 2 team.

Orgs aren’t saying goodbye to Dota 2 because they fell out of love with the game. They are leaving because from a business standpoint, it makes zero financial sense. Why would an organization pay a premium for a single Dota 2 player when they could secure an entire, world-class roster in a mobile title like MLBB for a fraction of the cost and see actual ROI or at least minimal loss?

We are entering a harsh era of forced correction. We chose to ignore the warning signs when times were good, and we are about to severely miss the golden era we took for granted. I know I already do.

And then after a week passes that I don’t act on it, I forget about it. AND THEN IT ALWAYS COMES BACK 😂

Bato escaped.
Zaldy is at large.
Martin is unscathed.
Sara will not be convicted.
Bongbong doesn’t have the courage.
Joel, Jinggoy and Chiz are all back in power.
Liza isn’t some sort of political mastermind.

This may well be Lebron's last game as a Laker. Win or lose let's cherish it folks.
