I fell in love with esports because I'm a fan of unsustainable business models and unrealistic market expectations.

[MOUZ @mousesports]

You will always be remembered as one of the all-time greats. Your legacy lives on, forever – in MOUZ and the entire CS community.

Rest in peace, Toni. We miss you.

It is not allowed to go out on stage with a flag at Masters. But I can remind all of you here in twitter that im from Ukraine.
Country where hundreds of civilian people die every day, just because russia wants to see us as their colony or destroyed.

[Lari Syrota @larisyrota]

@Jerome_Coupez It's not that people try to find problems where there aren't any. It's about context.

The letter Z is omnipresent in russia atm: 🇷🇺 are just as sensitivized to it as 🇺🇦.

"Doesn't look weird to me" isn't the best threshold here - try taking a 🇷🇺 pov. Pure coincidence? Tough one.

So this is what you get in game when you allow players from orgs that support the war in Ukraine to play in a tournaments.

Pure, Virtus Pro player, draws a Z symbol in game. Symbol that supports the war and russian army killing ukrainians

They should be banned. indefinetely

Together with our partners from @BIGCLANgg in Germany, we are launching a clothing line for all NAVI fans who want to support Ukraine. The money from every sale will be sent to the account of the National Bank of Ukraine for humanitarian purposes.

NAVI, the Ukrainian esports org, is drawing a line with respect to Russian players.

"We are not going to work with people who live in Russia and who pay taxes to the Russian Federation," said the club's CEO.

Ukraine's minister for digital transformation asks for Russia to be excluded from all esports competitions.

Wake up, people, esports isn't some sort of bubble detached from the outside worls. Time to act.

@Xbox @PlayStation

You are definitely aware of what is happening in Ukraine right now. Russia declare war not for Ukraine but for all civilized world. If you support human values, you should live the Russian market!

[Lari Syrota @larisyrota]

@DonaSpock @XqzRTV Kleiner Nachtrag: Der ukrainische Minister für digitale Transformation hat eben dazu aufgerufen, Russland von allen E-Sport-Turnieren auszuschließen.

Also diese ganze Argumentation "Ist doxh bloß E-Sport" zieht echt nicht.

[Lari Syrota @larisyrota]

@DonaSpock @XqzRTV Alter Falter. VP gehört zu Usmanov, sanktionierter Oligarch. Gambit gehört MTS, forZe ist finanziert von Lukoil, beide im russischen Aktienindex gelistet. "Ameisen."

[Lari Syrota @larisyrota]

@RichsWrath @AvengerPaladins Interesting take. It's a shame that VP, as all of ESForce, is part of sanctioned Usmanov's empire while Gambit is part of gov't-aligned phone provider MTS and forZe is financed by Lukoil.

Do you REALLY believe you have more knowledge of this than me? lmao

[Lari Syrota @larisyrota]

@RichsWrath @AvengerPaladins Actually, every relevant one has clear ties, except that for Team Spirit it's not possible to confirm anything with certainty.

Inform yourself before you lash out. This isn't 2014 anymore.

[Lari Syrota @larisyrota]

@Kaelaris I was about to ask whether fnatic counts as old but then I realized how pretentious this question now sounds. Time flies by, man.

Then there's VP and, more controversial, EG. Sure, old EG was iconic - but very outdated.

[Lari Syrota @larisyrota]

@SamRoyalZilla @Lukas07703374 While some people will try to make you believe the opposite, it's literally the same thing except for what the key platforms are and req. knowledge of games and memes. Obviously, it's more fast-paced, too.

@heyericanderson @joshkocurek @100Thieves @gucci Oh, I didn't know it's not an original design. The calculation you just made isn't sexy even for its target audience imo.

Pricing depends on design and brand but you can get good stuff for 1000$ - and for 2500$ you can get leather ones from LV and BV who are category mainstays.

[Lari Syrota @larisyrota]

@joshkocurek @heyericanderson @100Thieves @gucci (And yes, I'm fully aware that the vast majority of people whining aren't at all familiar with the world of luxury fashion and don't understand the market forces at play. But nonetheless, a bit steep, I predict that the demand isn't going to be super-high even if it's only 200.)

[Lari Syrota @larisyrota]

@joshkocurek @heyericanderson @100Thieves @gucci I don't have an issue with the collab's pricing per se, given its limitation (feels a bit forced though).

That said, $2500 by no means reflects typical high-fashion pricing for an article like that. If it was leather, sure, but as it is, nothing wrong with calling it overpriced.
