At some point in February, I decided to put some thoughts down on paper on how I'd see a global entertainment group business.

160+ pages, 38 chapters and majority of my free time later, I feel like I'm finally finished.

Might never see the daylight. Might be what I'll build one day. For now, it waits for the right moment.

PSA for fellow LoL Esports enjoyers: Recently a few random rumour accounts/leakers surfaced

Most of them are random people making things up for clout and spreading unverified/incomplete info, they're not insiders

If youre looking for offseason Insights, look at reputable media

Might be one unpopular take, but the more I think about where esports is headed, I am positive.

There is a lot of doom-posting and negativity around currently, but what we're seeing right now is the natural process - esports has skipped several steps when it decided to chase VC money between 2017-2019. Instead of allowing the business to grow properly at its own pace, we threw hundreds of millions at it before it was really ready.

The nature of VC's is that they expect the ROI fast, they expect the revenues to double, triple, 10x in a relatively short time - esports wasn't at that point when this happened. Now a lot of the VC's that bought the "esports will make money fast" narrative are backing off and orgs fold. The reason they fold isn't because esports isn't a viable business, but because when they got the influx of capital from VC's, they decide to "burn" majority of it on rosters, rather than growing the business.

The next 4-5 years for the esports business will be pretty boring, it'll still be focused on slow and mundane growth, both for orgs, but also for the entire esports infrastructure around the industry - we're now paying the price for skipping these steps years back 8-10 years ago and that's expected.

Leaving RED was all he needed to bring home the title it turns out :)

Also, time for the CBLOL and international crowd to put some respect on his name.

Seeing all these "LEC roster predictions" last couple of days has me like this 😭
