Meet VALORANT's newest on-air talent!

@ChrissyCostanza may be a new face on the desk at #VCT Champions, but she's no stranger to esports or being in front of a camera.

Finally starting to get some of my writing up on the Arts & Science site.

This is what I do for my new job 😮

@parquesomedia Lol. Sometimes I know I ask a dumb question but I’m just like “humour me”

[Coby Zucker @CobyZucker]

Every time an interviewee says the words “good question” my power grows.

[Coby Zucker @CobyZucker]

@JacobWolf I can’t speak for anyone else but the only reason I considered a career in esports journalism was because I was offered more than a “living wage”

[Coby Zucker @CobyZucker]

Sean is fantastic at what he does and he was a consistent bright spot during my time at Upcomer. He genuinely cares about his colleagues which is refreshing. Hire him.

I will not be a part of Upcomer's transition to GAMURS. Members of my team are heading that way, though, and I'm very relieved to hear that. Their futures matter more to me, honestly.

If you know of any job opps in sports or games journalism, please reach out!

@JoeLovelace13 Thanks Joe!

Today is my last day with Upcomer. Just under a year and more than 400 articles later, it's been quite the ride.

I'm sad to be leaving esports journalism but there's always the chance that I'll be back. Hopefully the industry continues to grow during that time. ✌️

@nojoudalmallees “A whole heckin’ lot of inflation.”

[Coby Zucker @CobyZucker]

I guess my timing was pretty good 🤔

Hopefully they keep things running smooth.

Surprising acquisition news!

.@DotEsports owner @gamurscom is acquiring @Upcomer, @destructoid and $EGLX's other editorial assets, sources told me.

Once rivals, Dot Esports and Upcomer are now sisters.
