This documentary was a bit of an experiment. Rather than talk about a team or player's story, in this video we're talking about the stories of an event.

Happy 10th to @StarCraft - never imagined all of the crazy stuff I was able to do because of this game. From competing (poorly) at @MLG events, to helping manage @ROOT4ROOT, to getting recruited to launch @IGNProLeague and running events in Vegas, Austin, and AC! #Happy10thSC2
So @PlayVALORANT devs on stream with @DrLupo that they are going to let the players/community dictate the esports scene in the early stages and follow what they want
My body is ready for third-party tournaments, international events (after coronavirus) and IPL7
Kept busy during this quarantine by cleaning up my office and finally getting around to little home “improvement” projects like hanging up my most memorable event badges and setting up my wrestler figurines on some shelves!
Today was a good day :)
IPL5 took place 7 years ago at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Leenock defeated viOLet in SC2 and Team WE took down Fnatic in LoL. Were you in this crowd at some point? 🤔
4 yrs ago, I took a chance and applied for my dream job - at @Twitch I’ve had the honor of meeting some of the most amazing people in my life. I try to be a better person each day, and I am lucky enough to be surrounded by those who inspire me to do so every single day 💜
