Its so funny to see the backlash to greedy business practices surrounding this title
Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look will premiere on Netflix on Thursday, August 27 at 3 p.m. ET.

Nothing came of this. Company may move too slow to make a difference in time for a lot of states dropping the game
I'm officially dropping LOL from my supported roster. Many other programs dropped it the last few years or are dropping now. Hate dropping the game that got me into esports as a career but it's irresponsible for me to think it can -

Im starting to get the grasp of what an entrepreneur actually is. Creating something against the status quo is a huge endeavor that will likely have risk involved. Takes real commitment to stick to something that you're convinced will change things to match growth or evolution

On a positive note with this post. Im starting to have alumni of 7y+ having kids now and if league stays alive and shapes up in ms / hs. It'll probly be the 1st true generational esport. Devs just cant ignore ms / hs anymore for college / adulthood esports

But it makes so much more sense for us to support the games that are naturally successful (OW, Smash, RL, VAL). We don't have the bandwidth to lift up a dwindling community. -

If anyone can help give this attention, I'd love for this post to be some kind of rekindling and awareness outreach to Rioters. @drewlevin @RiotPabro @Riot_Beernana @MarcMerrill @riotgames @LeagueOfLegends

HS state finals venues are making college venues look silly. Great job @EsportsIndiana

Anyone have news on @DivOneEsports failure? Hear rumors at lans and conferences on how poorly run / irrelevant of a conference it was but dont see anyone publically covering it. @cesportsbeef @esportsinsider anything ?

I say failure bc heard its gone next year. I say irrelevant bc the competition seemed setup to prop some schools to gain from the athletic prowess of others. If this is taken as mean or downplaying hard work, thats not my intention. Sorry

Do I get to delete this post @drewlevin ?

Just letting the business and users know why I would not use this at it's current state - Ignores the main paying entity, the colleges - Puts most of the populating process on players inputting their profile info (collegiate / HS isn't at that stage yet)
$1m+ in esports scholarships, now live at VarsityGG. Message universities directly, free for the next 3 months so you don't miss this recruitment window. This video shows you how easy it is. Valorant/League/Rocket League/Smash players: there's real scholarship money waiting. Drop your game + rank. I'll tell you if you qualify.

It's the same reason people are moving away from SPIN, the upper echelon of players will only support the very small upper echelon of colleges. there's little money in that. we have to be smarter and think like a business needs to

SPIN was close, LeagueOS was close, berecruited was perfect (but they're gone now), NCSA was okay (but they dropped esports), PlayVS, VarsityGG - rewrite the script imo
