Snapchat memories hit deep today. Six years ago I was nearly homeless making $81/weekly holding a sign & waving at passing cars for a phone repair shop.
Proud to say I’m doing MUCH better off now😅 but still a long ways to go until I’m chillin in my mansion.

Oof, was one game off diamond, had a bad night and am down 150lp to emerald 2😔 think that seals the deal for not making Vegas screenshot unless I have an insane streak to get to masters.
I’ve been playing TFT since set 3 and it’s grown to be one of my favorite games.
That being said, the esports side of this game is by far managed worse than any other esport I’ve participated in…and I competed in the dead eras of cod and halo🥴
Lock in ffs man.
We've made the call to cancel Tactician's Gauntlet: Vegas Qualifiers this weekend. We didn't feel comfortable asking players to pay for a tournament given stability concerns.
✅ Players who purchased an entry will be reimbursed shortly.
✅ Competitor Passes originally included as rewards will move to the Competitor Pass Sale on September 22. Attendee Passes will be available during the General Sale.

SUCCESS! Total Solar Eclipse 2026 from just outside the rural town of Duraton, Spain.
Looking for a TFT study group for set 18 and beyond👀🙏🏻
Peaked Diamond the last 2 sets, pushing for GM at minimum this set.
My time at Riot and on TFT as a Game Designer has come to an end. Just under 10 years, and to be honest I thought it was going to be longer, but sometimes things change.
-------------------------------------------------
I’m so grateful for what I was able to be a small part of, and able to accomplish in the last decade. It’s been a dream career, and I have got to do so much thanks to Riot. Even trying to list it all feels insane what I managed to do in this time. And the crazy 7 years on TFT where I got to design, balance, teach, lead, and more for my job, but then also build a community, stream, cast, go to events…it’s just been amazing. Ending on stuff like the Unlock system and a couple other things…I’m heading out proud.
To everyone I worked with over the years, thank you for letting me be a part of everything we accomplished. I hope I managed to teach you something or bring you joy in some way. I genuinely hope our paths cross again in the future.
To everyone who supported TFT or me over the years, you have no idea what it means to me. I cherish all the moments over the years, and they’ll keep me going. I am so blessed to have been a part of your lives and thank you for letting me bring some fun into your world.
-----------------------------------------------------
So…what’s next for me? I’m trying to figure that out.
First off, since I was on sabbatical and am terrible at relaxing/not working, I have been making my own small indie game. I’m about 2 months into development and have already had folks playtesting some early builds. I’d say the game is like 20-30% done, but my goal is to release it as a full game. It’s been fun keeping my skills sharp in a different space, and I hope to share it with you all someday.
Beyond that, I’m keeping my eyes open for other opportunities. I’ve had a few conversations here and there already during my Sabbatical. It’s a brutal industry right now, so I’m taking one day at a time and figuring out what’s next for me, whether it’s working on another studio’s game or even my own thing.
And I’d love to find a space to do some content creation and be able to share my knowledge of game development. But that may take some time to figure out how to do it right.
-------------------------------------------------------Again, thank you for everything these last 10 years. It’s a big change and I’m nervous but hoping it all works out. Until next time, take it easy!
