There we have it. Europe's last charge denied by a team that fell at the last hurdle in 2025. Both such captivating stories; all ten players should be so proud. Pokémon UNITE and its community are very special. The passion on display both in Twitch chat and at ICs/World Championships in person was truly wonderful. Having worked in this industry for almost 15 years now, you can trust me on that. I think it is extremely disappointing that this esport wasn't given one final year to prove itself, especially as these past six months have been so encouraging from a game state perspective. I only hope that there is an unannounced team game on the horizon to take its place, because the Worlds circuit will be less without one. Allowing myself to be vulnerable for a short moment, it is gut-wrenching not to be in San Francisco. I will never get the chance to cast this game at Worlds. More importantly, I may have missed the chance to hug some of my favourite people on the planet one last time. The talent and production team did a magnificent job all weekend and should be so proud of themselves. It's one of the best squads I've ever worked alongside. Go give them all the love in the world because they'll be hurting as well. I don't know if I necessarily deserve to say it - I'll let y'all be the judge - but it has been one of the honours of my life to be a caster on this series. I hope that my excitement, my enthusiasm, my knowledge and my heart came across in everything that I did. Remember the friendships you made through this game and continue to cherish them. That way, UNITE will never truly be gone. Until whenever it might be 💜🧡

Another week, another trail to be blazed! Flatiron Run #2 is LIVE over on ttv/BattleHubGG with a star-studded cast!

Remember, Mass Effect friends. It does no good to read "we're never going to play this game". Give people a reason to rally around. Stay strong and DEMAND to see this franchise saved from the rot that currently envelops it. Don't despair. Fight. #SaveMassEffect

I'll weigh in on this as best I can. Eevee's track record speaks for itself. When it comes to advanced information for UNITE, they are *the* source. I do not doubt that some form of end-of-service ('EOS') announcement is coming next week. To what extent? That's the better question. For reference, 'EOS' announcements have already made their way into the game. Just look at Belgium and the Netherlands going offline twelve months ago. That caused concern, not alarm, because people saw it as tied to law and nothing else. Context feels very different here for many reasons. I see the rumours regarding a change of developer. This feels highly unlikely. Games like Pokémon GO or Star Wars: The Old Republic are not examples to take hope in. Both had incredibly healthy, GLOBAL player bases upon moving to a new developer. There is the Chinese version to consider in all this. Some are thinking it might be for that. Given how separate that version of the game always was from global, I doubt an English announcement would cover it specifically. It's impossible to say, really, without an official announcement. If I were to put confidence in anything, however, it's that I doubt the game will go offline in Asia even in the worst-case scenario.

The state of my favourite gaming studio closing, but my favourite multiplayer series finally earning a ‘3’ next to it. Life really is full of ups and downs.

Crushing. Absolutely devastating for all involved.

North stormed North America last night; now it's time to see who rules Europe on the first Flatiron Run! Joined by @charismaacheck, @Mad_Magical and @1000EyesCasts! TTV/BattleHubGG

BattleHub returns with the Flatiron Run RIGHT NOW! Head over to TTV/BattleHubGG as Antidoxi, @BeoCasts and @educautious take you through our first-ever North American bracket!

Yup. It has happened AGAIN. Deadman Danny's release sees Deadlock break its concurrent player record for the FOURTH TIME in TWO WEEKS.

Bot Test: Is it time to hop on Deadlock?

Extraordinary. With Solomon's release, Deadlock has shattered the 250,000 concurrent player milestone. The game has now broken its own record three times in two weeks. We're looking at something generational.

BattleHub is back with Deadlock tournaments starting next weekend. We're currently supporting Europe and North America. If you're a solo/duo/trio and on the search for a team? We'll be opening dedicated signups for you TOMORROW. Join the Discord for first access!

Thank you to all who have applied so far! We really appreciate the love and interest our project has gotten! We're aiming to reach out to people THIS FRIDAY THRU SUNDAY so there is still time to indicate your interest in any/all of our available Deadlock roles!

THEY CALLED IT 'THE BABA EFFECT'
