Over my nearly 10 years in esports, countless times I've heard: "Esports should strive to be like traditional sports, with time we'll make it to Olympics." The issue is, that's the wrong way of thinking - esports is not and should not aspire to be like trad sports - products

Might be the most random offseason I witnessed in a while for Max here and very glad it turned out the way it did. This year, Max didn't really get the chance to show everything he's got, so I'm excited for him to be back in the LFL. Shoutout to @Ashanome for making it smooth.

So basically, one of Adam/Bwipo/Targamas cannot play it seems lol

LCS orgs legit went from: "There's simply no player pool in the region, we need imports to survive" some years ago To actually having local talent now, but choosing to ignore it for the sake of imports, to a point where EU is able to scout and scoop it more efficiently Crazy

With all the leaks around paiN, I think it's time to come out and say that @ShelfmadeLoL will unfortuantely not be coming to Brazil this time around. The love that Francesco received from the paiN/CBLOL fans has been really heartwarming. The passion in Brazil is truly special.

If I'm reading it right, it appears that if a team makes a deep run into EMEA Masters all 3 splits, there's essentially no offseason at all from January until October?

Can't wait to see what the rest of the roster is gonna look like 🙄

Before the 2026 season starts, here are the prospects who IMO will/should be on top of LEC scouting lists 12 months from now (LEC ready rookies + international) 🇩🇪 Shelfmade 🇹🇷 Gakgos 🇺🇦 Slayer 🇧🇷 Boal 🇧🇷 Doom 🇧🇷 Tatu 🇺🇸 Toasty 🇨🇿 Omon 🇦🇷 Kaze 🇷🇴 Hazel 🇨🇦 Massu 🇻🇳 Cryogen

Cryo is the next big thing for NA. Was hoping I can get him to EU before LCS wakes up, but they beat me this time 😭 LEC will come for this guy 11 months from now, trust.

Last 24 hours for @ShelfmadeLoL in numbers: ~ 700.000 impressions - Over 10.000 likes - Nearly double the follower count - 2.500 unique viewers with 400 CCV in peak on his first ever stream Crazy run so far and this is just the beginning

Vamo caralho 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Big if true

"Every contract has a clause where you can kick players by paying 3 months salary" - illegal in Germany "When you get benched on any org, your salary is cut in half" - also illegal in Germany KOI did things properly, as they should. VCT players need better agents holy fuck

3 out of 7 on a team now, we're making progress :)

@eomitas The new CBLOL superstar doing well :)

The Offseason Project - Summary (long read) Right before EMEA Masters started, I got this idea in my mind, to bring together a group of players, who wanted to do something with their offseason and stay active throughout. That's how we ended up with the roster of: 🇦🇹 Vertigo

Boa noite, meus amigos brasileiros! 🇧🇷

Some of the things I've witnessed this offseason so far truly are one of a kind. From absolute roster disasterclass, through letting players handpick the team with full bias all the way to people outright lying and hoping they won't get caught. Might be the most bizarre yet :)

PSA for LEC/Prime League players as we get closer to contract signatures: - In German labor law, there's no such thing as "bench salary" - Any pay cut that doesn't have a strong OBJECTIVE cause is invalid - By extension "active roster bonus" does not work too Take care :)
