This is a little late but I'm looking for work for 2026 in broadcast & content.

I had 60M+ impressions this year & I cast more League games than anyone in the world. Feedback was highly positive for quality of work & as a team member, I'd love to bring this wherever I can.

Hello! Reaching out to my mutuals based in Seoul.

I’m currently involved in a very exciting reporting project surrounding personal uses of AI.

If you have stories of using a chatbot in interesting ways (exercise planning, daily life, food, etc.) please DM me or reply!

@arhooptalk Hi Andy! Hope you're well. I am producing a documentary on Ri Myung-hun, I was wondering if you'd be interested in taking a look at some of the footage and being interviewed on your perspective of his play. I’d love to discuss this in DMs. Thanks!

Logging in for the first time in a while: any of my mutuals editors looking for work on a video project? Paid, of course.

Today, I have been made aware that for 2025, SK Gaming and I will no longer be working together. This is my official LFT post, if you need a seasoned creative in your esports organization or studio, I would be happy to chat.

I have work experience in Europe, US, Asia and LATAM, and have been part of the games and esports industry since 2018.

[Michale Lalor @ESHDrexxin]

With a move in the next 60 days, I'm looking for extra work.

- I've kept ESH going for over a decade
- Have helped edit and strategize content with some of the industry's greats
- Have built teams and helped build the identify and foundation of many talents in the space.

HMU!

I am officially a freelancer and no longer employed by @Riotgames. I’m proud of the part I’ve played in the @lec over the years, but I’m ready to take on new projects. In anticipation of people asking, I don’t expect to be on the LEC broadcast.

We have a confession to make: We secretly spent 4 months creating a fake ARCANE scene.

Then...we leaked it online.

Why? We'll explain later.

But now, (and 200,000+ views later), it's time to share the final product.

@Clarknova1 What do you think of The Amazing Digital Circus?

[jodi @jxdilv]

unfortunately, i was laid off from @thestorymob. I have nothing but love for the them and opportunities/ lessons my peers provided me with over the past year and a half.

Being able to work along side various esports teams, riot, and more was an absolute blast.

My DMs are open!

[Josh Barri @barriboyj]

Unfortunately, today is my last day at @thestorymob. It’s been an incredible 2 years being able to tell the best stories in Gaming and Esports.

I’m looking for new opportunities in Marketing, Comms, Events, or production. DMs are open!
