[UPDATE] Shortly after our article was published, the Esports Foundation 🇸🇦 shared with Sheep Esports a statement regarding the situation with KeSPA 🇰🇷.
Our article has been updated accordingly⬆️
LAUNCH 🚀🚀
I coulda been a fuck nobody who got screwed over and fired, struggling to find a job rn.
Instead, I am about to make the generational MONEYMAXXING run that goes down in history.
The only difference is the insights I have on hand. Insightmaxxing.
Standard practice for corporations is investing in a truckload of numerical data, and hiring for roles such as “Data Analysts” to find these insights.
That’s the way it’s always been done.
Numbers SUCK at driving ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS though. Charts, dashboards, the most they can tell you is where to look, but they still need analysts to turn it into a format that drives key decisions.
What if we were not limited to numbers?
There is no way for a human to read enough to get coverage on large datasets without certain abstractions. Excel was invented for this very purpose.
A human can’t. LLMs CAN.
The very fact that we now have intelligence at the cost of nothing unlock new paradigms of data analysis. We are no longer bound by the limitations of having to work with numbers. We can work with data in their much more optimal, original forms.
Texts. Images. Videos.
For example, if you make a post on X, a high like count can tell you that it is successful. But you will not know WHY it’s successful.
The WHY is information that you can get by looking at the non-numeric data. What exactly did you post about? How is it different from other posts? What did the comments say?
If a business launches a new product, positive social media sentiment and an increase in revenue can tell you that you are doing something right. That information is valuable.
What is infinitely more valuable is knowing EXACTLY what you did right, and any feedback on how it could have been even better.
Today, I am launching my first, public product. It is the first Insights tool of its kind that follows this new paradigm I’ve described.
Know exactly what your competitors are doing. What is working for them? Why is it working for them? How can it work for you?
Know the exact issues with your offerings as they occur. Bugs, complaints, valuable user feedback. How can it be better?
Know all the opportunity spaces you might not be aware of.
You cannot possibly read everything. Insightmaxxing will do it for you.
I truly believe it is a tool every single company can benefit from using.
@arshgoyal13 They say it's not part of any punishment in the post XD????? It's a projection of their values, however hypocritical that projection actually is
The Worlds Music Video will now launch on October 13, a few days later than originally planned. Bwipo was featured in the original cut, but given his recent comments, we decided it wouldn’t be right to showcase him in a piece that represents LoL Esports, pro players, and fans. Editing him out required significant changes during the final stages of production, and because he was the player representing the Americas, that region will not appear in this year’s video as originally intended. This was not part of any sanction or competitive ruling, but a decision about how we represent our sport and community on a global stage.
@coachseeel Thinking of Riot as someone small business that can't create change on that level is too naive I think. We can agree to disagree on this too
@coachseeel The article is literally titled "how to fix [the LCS]"
I think seeing at least an attempt at actual solutions to fixing the problem in an article saying it can provide that is a reasonable thing to expect.
@coachseeel What do you think the product solution to costreaming and the stream as a product is? Do you think costreaming is a problem for brand building of casters?
@coachseeel To come back on this, you completely forget about computer culture differences, internet issues in NA, tier 2 issues and riot issues as a publisher with too much control over their property.
@coachseeel I think it's really easy to just give ideas and suggestions in an article. The fact that you don't want to in the article or in this thread just proves my original statement.
@coachseeel No i mean literally, lets say kai cenat streams ufc and starts yelling or muting Bruce Buffer for 25 years or w.e. his career is. Do you think Buffer would be iconic still?
My answer is no, and that's my point with casters building brands. Much harder when no one hears them.
@coachseeel Why is it up to riot? This is a thinkpiece, so shouldn't you have some ideas on what could work and why? Backed by studies you keep citing but not linking, or backed by logic?
@coachseeel If Bruce Buffer was being drowned out by Kai Cenat, we wouldn't have Bruce Buffer. Why are you not engaging with my points and then saying I have no points? Is this how you debate?
@coachseeel Working b2b is just more terminology without substance. Be specific, how? What do schools etc get provided with? Why does providing them work?
I'm sorry I have "shallow low research ad hominem". I'll try to get to know you better so that my ad nominee attacks have more accuracy!
