Two years ago, I was inspired by @LorenceTFT (@AegisEsportsTFT) and @Boyses21 to host my own community TFT tourneys. Last week at #TFTParisOpen, I finally got to meet them and share dinner together!
In those two years, I’ve hosted 30+ tourneys, $6,000+ in prizes, 2,000+ total players, and 7,000+ hours of player experience. NONE of that exists without these two gentlemen paving the way before me. NONE of that exists without them (and their staff) pouring countless hours into the scene out of love for the game and community.
Here’s hoping I can one day inspire someone else to do the same (in whatever form that takes)
Shoutout to all the other @TFT community tourney organizers!
Shoutout to all the players and supporters!
Shoutout to my GOATs ❤️

IM BACK BABY!!! As of last week, I’m the new Global Head of @TFT Esports at @riotgames. Words can’t properly express how excited I am to return to this game and community I love so much, with the opportunity to make things even bigger and better.

Well, several Fan First waves of no email and spectator passes being sold out in seconds has me without a ticket 😢
If anyone happens to have a ticket they can't use send me a DM or reply! Would love to be able to go and see everyone again this year
🎟️ General Sale Update: The Attendee Pass sale will reopen at 8 AM PT.
A few tickets were sold during a brief period when the passes became available due to a TIXR platform update, but plenty are still available. We’re reopening at this time to give as many players as possible the same opportunity to secure their pass.
Thanks for your patience!

General Admission tickets were sold out instantly for TFT Vegas. If anyone has an extra please let me know. I will still be around because of flight tickets and airbnb are already booked but I really want to be able to support & watch my boyfriend @junglebook1_ compete in person.
Any retweets are appreciated. Thank you 🥹

Idk if these are transferable but if you cant go and looking for someone to buy your ticket, my DMs are open
Riftbounders, now's your chance! We've dropped general sale passes for #ConvergenceFest. Hope to see you in Vegas!

Just in time for the Vegas ticket lottery! 🤞
Here are the 4 biggest mistakes i fixed to completely transform my climb 👇

Hey all! After taking a bit of a step back for a while, I'm looking to host some TFT events again👀
I've crafted up a quick form, covering both casual and competitive TFT formats. Whether you play hundreds or a dozen games per set, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

We know players want more time to climb, so we've taken another look at the Vegas Open schedule:
🗓️ Ladder Snapshot moves to Sept 18 12:15am local server time (+12 days)
🎟️ Competitor Pass sales now start Sept 22
More time to climb, and you can still lock a spot in Tactician's Gauntlet: Vegas Qualifiers, Sept 11-13.

As a woman who works on TFT, I’ve spent tonight reading things about my own community that make me want to put my fist through a wall.
Let’s be clear about what happened here. Women said they were hurt…and the response from parts of this community was to laugh, to relitigate, to demand receipts, to treat “was she uncomfortable” as an interesting debate topic. It isn’t and never was.
Women build this game. Women play this game, millions of them. Millions. And the message being sent today is that you’re welcome here right up until the moment you say something happened to you.
To the men reading this: your silence is a position. It is not neutral. It has never been neutral. Every time you let it slide in a lobby, in a Discord, in a group chat, in a reply…you encourage this behavior. It cannot keep being women’s full-time job to explain why they’d like to not be harassed.
To Emily and to every woman who spoke up and got buried for it: I see you. You told the truth even when it was hard and people were absolutely horrible. Thank you for all your courage in speaking up.
If anyone is ever at an event and something feels off, find me. Find any of us. You are not overreacting, you are not being dramatic. You have people in your corner.
This post hits different now... 😭

Right guys? 🙏
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!
