Today, I have some boring news to share.
I'm finishing my work with Daily Esports on the 16th, and will be moving on. I'm now in my 19th year working in the esports scene, and I felt that I needed a change, so I made this decision. (I'm getting old too;;) When I shared the news with people I know, many of them were quite surprised. But they all said the same thing: they told me they would be rooting for me.
I'm planning to take about a month long break. I've already bought NBA 27 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 for PS5. I should have some fun with those. I'm also going to Jeju next week.
I've always spent a lot of time thinking about the future. I asked myself: Should someone like me, who's never enjoyed studying, go back to studying? Absolutely not. Should I get a job at another company? That's not an option either.
So I decided to create a new esports media outlet. My friend Wolf Schröder suggested a name for the outlet, and I plan to start working on it after my break.
The truth is, there's a strong perception in Korea that "one-person media outlets are destined to fail." But I've often seen independent, one-person media outlets overseas, and I thought I'd like to give it a try myself.
My goal is to return for First Stand in 2027. I'd also like to go to MSI, and fortunately, Worlds will be held in Korea. I believe it's important for people to reflect on their lives and think about where they're going. I've been doing that myself, and now I want to take on a new challenge.
In conclusion: I'm not leaving the esports scene. I'm just going to have some fun. – at Songpa-gu, Republic of Korea

“The instruction from HoYo side is to treat you like any other normal attendee," the vendor told me.
For the first time in my more than 10-year gaming and esports career, I did not receive a media pass to attend the biggest event of the year for the community. #HoYoFEST2026
3. This sets a troubling precedent for the future of gaming media. When organizers strip away basic press access while still receiving coverage, they signal to the wider industry that independent, third-party media can be taken advantage of without being supported.

Thank you for all the kind words and support for my short! ❤️ I don't think any of us in that room thought this would become something more than just a room of girlies celebrating in joy.
We're never going to get this again, so it's now a piece of history 🥹 #loveanddeepspace – at East Region, Singapore
This Love and Deepspace watch party video came across my TL on TikTok, and it’s so cute and wholesome to see the girlies reaction to Valko 🥹
It’s nice to see positive reactions IRL for him despite the online hate he’s getting 😭

Too many emotions tonight. Really sad to see the breakup of our favorite T1 bot lane duo. At the same time, adding Peyz would be intriguing...

okay can someone veto these post-match questions cause some journalist just asked Bdd how he felt about his Hupu rating being 9.9 and obviously he was like “i don’t care about that, i lost today so there’s no meaning” like ?????
From losing against them at the LCK 2019 Summer final to now standing with them on the Worlds 2025 stage as champion.
What a journey it has been for Doran.

T1 dropped the voice comms from when they picked Dr. Mundo, and notice how Faker was also coaching Oner how to use it 🥹 He was lowkey panicking about playing the champ he’ll use for the very first time 😭
🐯 No, actually… maybe ignoringg Mundo is the right call.
🐧 No, but I feel like we should be.
🐯 But no matter who I pick, it can come out.
(Today’s topic: Should we or should we not pick Dr. Mundo?)
🐯 I’ve never practiced Mundo before… should I just lock him in?
🐧 Hey, what’s the hard part when playing Mundo?
🐯 There’s nothing tough about it (he’s trolling)
🐧 Huh? Oh? …???
🐯(Showing expression like someone who’s about to enlist to military 😭)
🐻 Do we have to go like Bengi’s Nidalee?
🐯 Just lock him in? (The type who’s easily persuadedㅋㅋㅋ)
🐶 If we pick Mundo, bot lane tools (options) will increase too, and it’s good against a certain champ.
Coach Tom: That champion is really easy.
🐧 Try playing Mundo without going in too hard, play more safely.
🐻 You farm well anyway~
Coach Mata: All you need to know is that W is the main thing, E just boosts your damage.
🐧 W’s kinda tricky, you need to learn that.
Coach Tom: I’ll tell you how to clear jungle, when you’re fighting the 6 camps, just use E and hit the other 5.
🐿️ (Prolly think this is normal??)
🐯 (It’s like none of it is going to his head when Coach Tom was discussng about it 😭)
🐿️🐶🐻: ?????ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
🐯 Wait a sec…
(🐧 + coaches start rapid-firing advice)
🐧 Got it?
🐯 What about this one?
Coach Mata: Click in and read the skill.
Coach Tom: Ultimate? Use it situationally, don’t use it when the enemy’s full HP.
Coach Mata: Use it when you’re below half HP.
🐯 (Sighs 😮💨 + curses 🤬) Ahhh, shibal~
