WE ARE YOUR ASCENSION CHAMPIONS! #EoD

[TW: SERIOUS TWEET FOR ONCE] A few thoughts on the interviewer–Keria drama today. First off: > Whatever you think of me, I was the interviewer who blew up because I brought a unique emotional intelligence to out-of-broadcast interviews: something the scene was lacking. So on this topic I know what I’m talking about. > I have the unique position, at least in comparison to most people chiming in on this, of having over 30 videos of players flooding tears out of their eyes on my home PC. Most if not all have never seen the light of day. > I find it difficult to view myself, but I am told constantly by people, that they felt they could pursue interviews from a “content creation” POV rather than purely Journalistic — because of me. > Conversely, I think I was just the first respondent to a coming wave, rather than someone who changed anything. So I think I can give perspective on this “new wave” of interviewers. I say all of this to qualify my opinion on this topic. I can be a pretty arrogant guy, but all of my outward validation for myself mostly comes from deep insecurity. However, interviewing is something that I truly believe, for the niche category of, Out of Broadcast - League of Legends interviewing, I was the best in the World for a time. Self-masturbatory victory lap over. Let’s unpack this. — Interviews are a really hard thing to do well in League. For every false assessed diatribe about how emotionally underdeveloped players are on Twitter, there are a million more complexities that lie beneath the surface. Process as such should always come from unpacking this complexity and delivering it in a way that doesn’t harm the athletes. Difficult conversations at times must be had, but when these conversations are failed to be had, it is always more helpful to look upon one’s shortcomings as a communicator perhaps, rather than looking at the athletes unwillingness to communicate. I say this because I can be honest, the first 2 years of chasing spotlight, via the access that Riot grants, is purely intoxicating. You are out for the views, the respect of industry figures, the encouragement from your riot reps, team reps, fellow journalists. So naturally you become geared for the big scoop, the big moment where a player reveals the big elephant in the room, talks about something difficult. This is something you have to quell within yourself as time goes on, but even at First Stand 2025, my 6th or so event? I still felt this way. I think when you see the older journalists, they have this of course, but the younger ones have all of it in spades, with no subtlety, such is the nature of our social media. I’m guilty of this also. Because the players is what are important. As much as you can become clouded by metrics, you have to view yourself as a sort of supplementary guide for the storyline, at your best you can help influence the broadcast narrative, or even maybe foster a talking point between players. At worst, you’re tossing the coals of a fire that has burnt for many years, participating. And players won’t always give you what you want. I look at my Faker interview in 2024 as like, despite being my most viewed interview, not being a very good interview, he didn’t give me much at all. But conversely I recognise that as a response to issues that he had faced at the hands of other interviews, irresponsibility of emotional intelligence that led to him being clammed up and guarded. But you should never think to react as that being the players fault. They don’t owe you anything. Even if you travelled, put yourself up, any of this. You can put some onus on Riot for giving you a certain amount of access, or push for transparency on what access you’ll get. But once you’re in that interview room. Whatever happens is on you.

VCT Ascension Americas CHAMPIONS! You are forever @Envy legends ⁦@inspire_val⁩ ⁦@p0ppin⁩ ⁦@canezerra⁩ ⁦@ion2x_⁩ ⁦@Eggsterr⁩ ⁦@StunnerFPS⁩ ⁦@envywolf⁩

Thank you @FNS. A legend steps down today.

Heartbreaking result at the Austin Major, but we are built to last and will continue to scale. Episode two of Amazon Original, Level Up, dropped today - I haven’t event watched it yet. Lmk what you think.

As my contract with KRÜ is expiring soon, I’ve been given the opportunity to explore new options for 2026. Over the past 3 years as a Head Coach in VCT Americas, I’ve earned valuable experience not only in preparing teams tactically and developing an in-game system/identity but also in building a strong team culture. I’m eager to share everything I’ve learned throughout my career and excited to find a new home. I’m also open to different roles (Head Coach, Strategic Coach or Positional Coach) and to opportunities in any region. For inquiries, feel free to contact me via DM or through my agent or @RachelXGin.

WHAT! @mleQT_ risks the plant and clutches her last three kills to get the ace! @MoistEsports 📺 twitch.tv/VALORANT_Americas #VCTGameChangers | @Verizon

Looks like @GlobalEsportsIn is going in another direction this year. Any GMs, owners, players feel free to reach out. Also happy to talk to any journalists about the VCT scene. I'm always open to talking about opportunities or to share the things I have learned and experienced.

LFT for VCT 2025. I was informed yesterday that I will not be included in plans for 2025. I want to thank @Sentinels for trusting me to help lead SEN to new heights; the team - @itskaplan, @zekkenVAL, @TenZOfficial, @sen_sacy, @pANcada, @1johnqt, @Zellsis, @Zyto_ and @KOR_Kez - for being an absolute blast to work with over the last two years, and the fans for their relentless support! After a successful 2024, I am more motivated than ever to return to work and achieve more. I am open to opportunities in all regions. My DMs are open, or you can reach me at drewspark.contact@gmail.com.

Até queria ter feito uma pergunta para os Executivos da Riot, mas infelizmente eles não deram oportunidade para NENHUM dos portais BR perguntarem na coletiva de imprensa. Além disso, sendo Game Arena, VSpace e VALORANT Zone os três primeiros a levantar a mão no ZOOM...
