Incase ya’ll didn’t know my side quest is MMA. I’ll be making my debut in the featherweight division of @UpNextFighting this year. (March or May still waiting for an opponent)

If you like watching people get tripped, thrown, and smeshed with BJJ/Judo then follow my journey 💪🫡

Well gang that's it for me on VALORANT, I'm no longer working at Riot Games.
It's been fun after almost 4yrs, hope you enjoyed the work! 🙏
(RES Trailer with Gekko/Brim was probably my favorite next to Ep8 with Omen)

Bro I know we said the next big thing was gonna be the Metaverse, then DAOs, then Play-to-Earn, then Blockchain, then NFTs, then Voice Assistants, then IoT, then VR…

But trust me, AI is totally worth the trillions this time!

[Kyle Calkins @kyleccalkins]

(Warning 🤮) Cardio and some Ground Striking drills. I’m a gaming nerd who also gets punched in the face. 🤷‍♂️🤓

[Kyle Calkins @kyleccalkins]

@pansy You once live casted a play by play of me getting smashed in the face with cake outside by a dumpster at Masters Toronto. I’d say you’ve earned it.

We're not removing refresh utility! We are increasing CDs on some abilities to encourage more thoughtful usage, though.

We still want utility to shine - we just want players to use it more selectively.

Leaks are often inaccurate. Check out the 11.08 notes dropping Monday 10/13!
