@Esports_News_UK "SideQuest and Sidekick are separate entities, with no operational or managerial connection"

But there's a clear ownership connection!

SideQuest staff are mods of the new, not yet public, SideKick Discord.

Shared owner, shared staff, shared brand.

Shared accountability.

All calm in Ancoats. Lot of misinformation spread today, and the businesses have been hurt because of it!

If you cancelled your plans tonight, why not come on down + support local business- they could do with the trade! 🍺

@justjon_lol Appreciate the response Jon, thank you!

Agree on the 45-1hr time comment too, I was trying to give a low estimate as the reality that those 16+ games actually take up 12-15 hours a day is scary!

[Craig Ryan @PixelCDR]

I'd love to hear the thoughts of this schedule from esports coaches and people who are far more knowledgeable than me.

Taking a closer look throws up a lot of questions on how practical this actually was for a professional team.

G2 LoL Schedule/Scrims Season Worlds 2023

Even if it was physically possible, I doubt Man City would choose to only train using 11 v 11 games.

So much of what they do on the pitch is developed off it and I just don't see where G2 could have had the time (or mental energy) left to do this in their schedule.

[Craig Ryan @PixelCDR]

I've got the benefit of hindsight here, but those who know me know I think too many teams in esports just grind games with no real plan or focus.

So it's sad to see such an elite team doing what looks like the same to me but I'm keen to learn the thinking behind it.
