[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

What did we learn today?

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

@SariaArts I miss Tokyo already 😭

[Saria 🌸 @SariaArts]

Tokyo highlights ✨️

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

Same sadly… it’s a rough year financially and not getting paid for work has made it even tougher.

[Troubleinc. @g_troubleinc]

LeaguesGG owe me 4 digits for work that I did earlier this year.

Not only will I NEVER see this money, but because they have liquidated their company, their VAT is now deleted, so I have to pay tax for them too.

I hope none of you touches esports ever again.

@JollyBDG @SariaArts This old man still has his driving licence

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

@SariaArts Can’t believe my girlfriend took to Twitter to call me old 💀

@JamadaLoL @CJ_Trajan @BlackBloxer @LPL_english

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

Very excited to be back on NLC, with a bunch of fresh faces too!

[NLC - Northern League of Legends Championship @NLClol]

After many considerations and talks with over thirty talented casters, this is the lineup that will bring the NLC's stories to life.

Give it up for:
@BlackBloxer
@luise_emilie_
@Hiprain
@justjon_lol
@RLoweth
and @CJ_Trajan!

@LEC_Wooloo Being in the dark has been rough but trust me no one wants this league to succeed more than me. I turned down LPL 3 times to be part of NLC, I love this region. I’ll also admit I got a little too upset seeing our jobs on an open casting call before being spoken to.

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

@dearnyaaa Already said this but this stems from frustration as the broadcast team has been kept in the dark this whole time. I hope this works and we finally have a long term home for the league. No beef with them wanting any new talent but the current team should have been spoken to

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

@Ultimate_Kirby That’s understandable, I can’t speak for everyone but I wouldn’t blame anyone for not wanting to come back. I will always give them their chance that’s only fair. However if they wanted to know who was still around they could have messaged to find out

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

@SamiOnEsports Oh I will! but I hope you can understand how frustrating it has been for the (former) braodcast team who’ve keep kept in the dark this whole time to get their updates from twitter.

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

Hopefully they reach out to the casters! 😅

[NLC - Northern League of Legends Championship @NLClol]

We regret that it has taken so long… but after two months of silence we can finally announce that the NLC is back!

Read the full statement on the NLC Spring split below and the announcement by Riot Games for more information about the future of the NLC.

@OfficerNaughtyy I’ve been going for years they are a brilliant shop it’s just card games they are really weird around

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

I went into my local game store after they told me they didn't have any riftbound boxes on the phone, only to find out they had like 11 boxes on sale. It's frustrating becuase I really like this shop but they handle riftbound so bad and assume everyone is a scalper. 1/2

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

What winds me up is I had a long chat with the guy who buys all the stock for them, and he said riftbound wasn't great for them as they have low turn out for events. I told him that they make it very hard to buy cards off them. People can't go if they don't have any decks. 2/2

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

@g_troubleinc Oh my god hats terrifying, I’m glad the police where so responsive

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

Still waiting patiently to find out what’s happened our scene… only covered it for a decade, would be nice to know…

[Jamada @JamadaLoL]

I suppose the NLC is just cooked for Spring </3 (Not even a leaguepedia page 😔)

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

Me and @SariaArts are opening some riftbound packs on stream!

[Jake Matthews @Hiprain]

@EragonUK Bro you can’t make a tier list if you’ve not eaten half the food 🤣
