There's no words that can describe the heartache and size of the pit in my stomach on this day.
EG is a very special brand with an incredible history and a wonderful group of people behind it who put everything they had into this org.
You can always look back and think about the should have's and could have's, but I am proud of what we were able to rebuild over the past few years and the successes we had, from celebrating 25 years of EG to introducing Meesh to re-entering Game Changers to launching Gridlock to a creator roster to new titles like UNITE, EA FC, and Delta Force to re-entering FGC and so many more.
VCT - thank you for carrying the torch for EG. It was incredible to watch your growth this year through all the highs and lows. I know you will all find success in VCT going forward.
To potter specifically - thank you for everything. You are the best and it's been a pleasure having you here to rep EG since 2021.
Pho & supa - you have both been here for what feels like forever. Thank you for always being terrific people, supporters, players, and everything in between.
VCL - Developing talent was something we always believed in and you were such a strong showcase that there's a lot of incredible VAL players out there. Keep working, your time is now.
GC - It was an honor to support you all this year. Way to overcome a lot to nearly qualify for GCC. Next year is your year.
Noon - You have been such a terrific representative for us getting back into the FGC. You are an amazing talent who was always down for things. Whatever game you touch you seem to dominate.
Delta Force - I hope you all can stick together, there's something special with the three of you. Thank you for taking a chance with us and bringing EG to a new title and showing the world how great you are.
UNITE - This was a fun year watching you travel the globe repping EG. So many close moments but you made us proud and I hope you all find success at the Aeos Cup.
K1john - EA FC was a new one for us this year and you really showed up. The eMLS cup was a battle, thank you for repping us and AustinFC.
To all our teams and players, I'll be rooting you on in the future.
MrsChimChim - you are a gem. You were always down to jump in on events and content and had such a great attitude. Best of luck with Worlds this year.
Couriway - Thank you for bringing us into the Minecraft community. Launching Gridlock and seeing your 10k speedrun live were two incredible moments for me.
Royall - the 👑 - your attitude and engagement with everything EG was second to none. Thank you for jumping in feet first and being a part of it all.
d1ve - Even with your tips, I'll probably stay silver but thank you for bringing your genius to the community.
f0rsaken - I appreciate all you did to support EG's growth in a brand new region and your dedication to our brand.
FNS - Thank you for coming on this year and being a part of a special ride with this season of VCT. It was amazing to see your genuine enthusiasm and support for our squad.
Edward Kim - Your financial literacy and economic education content was a great new addition. You have a bright future.
To all of our team behind the scenes: you are the most passionate and dedicated people I've ever worked with. You all are the reason for so many of our wins.
Thank you to all the fans, sponsors, and people who were part of this journey. EG's legacy stretches far back and there were so many amazing moments, people, teams, and content that forged it before us. It was an honor to be a part of it.

Hi incel loser I played Unreal Tournament 1999 competitively and won a EuroCup, that’s just one of the million gaming credentials I have over you! Hope you escape your moms basement soon xxxxxx
It's time to stop hiring women to announce games unless they look like porn actresses and have very skimpy outfits.
This fucking karen doesn't belong here, fucking hag.

"How do I get people to care about taking money from MbS?"
Answered a reader question about the ethics and politics involved with the newly-announced Evo Locals program, TOing as political work, and how we built our locals with borrowed gear and volunteered time.

I can't believe the ludwig comment about not streaming sf6 is the take away for some people after we watched him prepare a secret counter pick perfectly honed in to dissect tyler1. That's the most fgc move I've seen in a minute, he literally saved that shit for nationals.

I know I'm biased but check out the best late night sports talk in Southern California today with @Gmona48 and @brownerspodcast. No one is breaking down the Clippers, Lakers and the NBA draft on sports talk radio in SoCal like these guys. I promise you. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1MJgNNElD…

I spoke with Ludovic Mbock, a quiet kid from Cameroon who became one of the world's top Chun-Li players and built connections and community along the way. When ICE detained him in February, that community came back for him and refused to let him go.

I'm seeing a some people are upset at the placement for Rivals of Aether 2 at EVO
For anyone unaware, I am the publisher for that game
I also remember being in the crowd at EVO 2016 and watching hungrybox beat armada through losers
It was a seminal weekend for me. I returned from Vegas and started grinding smash, got my ass beat. Then I started grinding commentary, and later on that turned into streaming
To have another platform fighter, and it be the one I publish, means something to me (regardless of how you feel about us...)
To clarify I did buy a bunch of EVO passes to help make this the biggest Rivals 2 tournament we've ever had
We handed passes to the top 128 players, ran online qualifiers, ran locals, and gave passes to TO's to give out to their community
I'm sure I got taken advantage of. People sold codes, shared them without permission, and signed up with no intention of playing. But that's the price I'm willing to pay to make this the biggest Rivals 2 event we've ever had. The community has rallied around this, and I'm pumped to go to EVO this year
See yall there (Saturday night)

bittersweet not attending EVO this year after going every year since 2017, but i’m very grateful I was able to attend all those years and meet a lot of great people. not sure when i’ll be back, but hopefully i’ll catch you guys around at grassroots and other events in the future.
