6 years of working on this program with @HCS @Halo @Tashi343i and team Super proud of what has been without a doubt the 2nd golden age of Halo esports Crazy to think I've been working on Halo events for 23 years. Thank you Halo Studios for letting us be a part of this story

In 2000, the S&P 500 had an elevated trailing P/E of 26, well above its long-term avg. of 14. For the next 11 years, the S&P 500 delivered zero returns! The current S&P 500 trailing P/E is 30 – even higher than 2000. History rhymes. For standardized performance visit our website.

Annual lake trip. What led to this? Halo. My grandmother was the family matriarch and when she passed, Halo brought my cousins together. From that moment on, we played nearly every week and friends joined. 20+ years later and we are still together. Yes, we still play Halo.

Am I crazy or do people want more LAN events? Not crazy stages. Not sitting in a seat watching the same 60 people play for hours. People want to play. Am I wrong?

Was October 7, 2023 foretold in the Bible? This short PragerU documentary, adapted from Dinesh D’Souza’s feature-length film The Dragon’s Prophecy, reveals the stunning connections.

If you have Esports Engine on your resume you should be VERY proud of that. We made a massive impact for our clients and our communities in a very short period of time. Head up and keep going, and crush it in your new roles. All of your futures are bright.

Remember the mission. Bring in the BEST people, treat each other the right way, treat our clients like members of our team, and operate a healthy business I know everyone says this, but LITERALLY some of the best people from my personal teams are now free agents. Unreal

I have always dreamed of a room of massive open brackets similar to Evo but for games like Halo, Call of Duty, Gears, Overwatch etc. 10,000 people in room LANNING. Talk about hitting your core demo right in their 'take my money' soul

Last tweet of the night, but just saying. If Microsoft/AB let me run MLG from within, gave me the ability to run CWL next to Halo (and their amazing esports team) and other internal IP, we would build the most powerful internal marketing engine in the industry. Bring back folks

Tough to sit on the sidelines right now and not be able to help. For those going through it, I can say we have seen similar collapses in the past as the sand castles we built fell apart for whatever reason. I know its tough, but take heart, this is when opportunity arises.

Johanna Faries as the new president of Blizzard. She is thoughtful, empathetic, and a master diplomat. She will do a great job there. Good call Microsoft.
