After 3 wonderful years at Cloud9, I've been laid off.
I am proud of all the work I've contributed to the organization. I've built the Marketing Team from the ground up. From full campaign management and ideation, reestablished live activations, launched Club9, and more.

MY ADVICEβοΈ
Get 1-2 years of experience in your desired field/position somewhere else. Like literally anywhere else. Come with transferrable skills (project management, design programs, campaigns, art, etc) Regardless of your industry, if you demonstrate knowledge and competency

While an extremely appealing career prospect, it might be a challenge to get your foot in the door. As a hiring manager at two esports companies, I look for employees with foundational skills. Most esports orgs are limited in resources, which means that training isn't always

It is with a heavy heart that I announce today is my last day at @Andbox_official. I cannot thank my colleagues and this community enough for allowing me to champion @NYXL and @Subliners. It has been an honor to serve this community.

ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, YES ESPORTS IS A FUN INDUSTRY BUT INTERVIEWS ARE SERIOUS.
I can't tell you how many people lack professionalism and decorum in interviews. That is the baseline. Your resume can be exactly what I'm looking for, but if you don't know how to

reality as most companies cannot afford specialization.
Soft skills like prioritization, managing up, and communication are skills that are learned over time and are critical in operations. Most esports orgs don't have more than 20 day-to-day employees running the whole place.

then the context of esports is an easier adaptation to teach.
No prior job experience? Show me what projects you've been working on. A portfolio. A sample of your work. As much as I would like to take your word for it, I need evidence of your work ethic and output.

When I first started this job, we had about 17K followers and it was just me focused on socials.
Now, I lead a full team of folks and weβve hit 100K. It is such a beautiful feeling to see this brand grow as it has. Only up from here, baby π#NYSL

While it's not impossible to get your first job in esports (as I've known many people who have), you give yourself better chances when you deliver on the knowledge required to work in an industry that has little structure and organization.

To the person who yelled βChoke9β at me from your car, Iβd like to apologize for saying βand you can choke on this dick, bitch.β
It was reflexive response, but inappropriate and not a reflection of how I actually conduct myself π

Please say something nice
As the bug does not pose a competitive advantage, Reyna will remain available for this weekend's VCT matches. Removing Reyna with less than 24 hours from the start of competition would be disruptive for teams who may have been preparing her in their line up.
Teams will be free to use Reyna at their own discretion, but we will not grant pauses, round roll backs, challenges, or other competitive rulings in relation to this bug.

Friendly reminder that Social Media Managers do not control company decisions.
While you're within your right to express your disappointment or disdain, know that there's probably just one human having to field all those messages.

Social Media Managers and Community Managers of the world must have tough skin. As the frontline for your brand(s), you might not be creating the content itself but boy you are impacted whether people love it or hate it.

Say it with me: Cloud9.
One word. No space. Cloud9. Just like C9 does not have a space. Cloud9.
Please... I beg. I don't know how many times I can correct this within THE SAME CONVERSATION.

My heart aches for gaming and esports right now. I feel so dejected. These past 48 hours have been a hard pill to swallow.
So many people need to learn to show compassion and overall we just need to do better.

Esports is a volatile industry in both that it is entertainment and mostly startups.
9 out of every 10 startups fail. Job security is unfortunately scarce in esports.
This should be kept in mind for every job you look to take regardless of industry.

Itβs still possible to consume products without all these things being true. I simply think itβs a matter of choice. She chooses not to stream there and thatβs her prerogative. Her choice might be that she personally doesnβt want to affiliate with a site that also has gambling.

When I left cod, I was sad to leave behind an incredible team and community.
I am so genuinely excited for the future. This news came to a surprise to me, but I could not be more overjoyed to be in Call of Duty again. Cheers to more Ws and more shit talking, just as a new color.
