Proud of my boy @JoeyPokeaim for an incredible run at Regionals this weekend - not only for the phenomenal top 8 finish, but also for all the hard work he put in preparing for this event. Awesome to see one of the best Pokemon players ever putting up results in a new format
Today we're doing a 12-Hour fundraising stream in support of @GamersOutreach to help bring video games to children fighting for their lives in hospitals!
Join me in community games and let's reach our goal ๐

Weโre excited to announce that, starting today, https://t.co/smUwB5xBhO will be returning to its roots as an independent company supporting grassroots and professional esports communities. This transition marks an exciting new chapter for us, as we continue to build on the strong foundation we've established over the years.
Weโre incredibly thankful to Microsoft and Xbox for the years of support. Together, we've enhanced our online presence and capabilities, bringing you the best tournament platform for communities like Super Smash Bros, Rocket League, and Pokรฉmon.
As we move forward, https://t.co/smUwB5xBhO will be led by original team members from https://t.co/ErIhQOfbBw, including the platformโs co-founder, grassroots tournament organizers, and engineers who are passionate about improving the platform for the communities we support. https://t.co/smUwB5xBhO will continue to operate as a self-service esports platform, and you can expect your current and future tournaments to proceed as planned.
To ensure our long-term health and growth, we will be implementing a registration fee thatโs applied to paid registrations transacted through our platform. You can learn more about this Platform Fee, as well as some exciting new features weโre launching soon, in our latest Balance Patch article. This change will help us maintain and improve the services we offer, allowing us to better support the esports communities we've built together.
Since our inception back in 2015, our goal has always been to foster esports communities around the games people love to play. This goal remains at the heart of everything we do, and we look forward to continuing our journey with you.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. We are excited for what lies ahead and can't wait to share this new chapter with you all.
