HEY
TIER 2 TFT PLAYERS
LISTEN UP
I dont wanna hear anyone next week talking about how they want to play but missed the sign up
GO SIGN UP ON COMPETETFT - in fact, don't just sign up, check to see if your potential teammates are signed up and tell them to sign up too.

I'M NOT CRYING, OK? MY EYES ARE JUST SWEATING 🥹
CONGRATULATIONS @panche3e 🫂🫂
Been playing for a few patches. Can confirm, fun time! I especially love |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||! The first time I ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| and ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| was absolutely ||||||||||!
Finally finished the latest milestone of my little indie project, version 0.4. Which means a whole new group of testers have started playing the game, which has been rewarding to see. A bunch more will join this weekend, so I'll be observing and taking notes. It's one of the fun parts of the process where people get to see the work.
I gotta say, just being able to make a game with nothing but the time of day to stop you is pretty addicting. Especially as I pushed towards the milestone, I've certainly been pushing myself pretty hard. Between this and my actual NDA'd job, I realize I haven't actually done much else in like a month lol.
What I SHOULD be doing is relaxing today and trying to recover a bit. Maybe record a walk the dog, or just get out of the house for a bit. What I WANT to do is start working on the next system the game needs and the last little bit of content left lol. But everything I've ever worked on from Mario vs DK to TFT to this, this is the moments I enjoy. Getting in there, and just making a video game better. It's what I live for.
Anyway, we'll see what I end up doing. If I get bored of trying to relax I'm sure I'll open up the game and start working lol. But yeah. Hope you have a great weekend. Can you believe 2026 is almost over? SHEEESH.
Ok Have fun and take it easy :)

Hey everyone, I want to provide a quick update on the AMER Trials situation from this past weekend. After reviewing the situation with our team, we were unable to identify the player who unpaused the game without authorization. We’ve already implemented a fix that will help us identify those responsible in similar situations moving forward.
We sincerely apologize to @HannekoKitten for the impact this had on her event. This was a miss in our ability to effectively track this particular rule infraction to ensure the right person is held accountable, but we're going to learn and grow from this one.
Content creators, and esports pros, have a lot of the tools and ingredients required to become strong esports commentators.
Both professions are very intrinsic. You naturally build a brand that puts you first. This is a GREAT way for folks to find their voice on a desk...
Commentating or casting is not a "reward" for being a content creator. It is a high pressure public facing job, requiring the ability to communicate with a huge amount of people live, while balancing the needs of stakeholders involved. People who are selected to do this always have my full support.
Being part of the community is not necessarily a requirement, but being able to do your job and tick all the boxes is. If your end goal of being a content creator is for the rewards that you might get, then I would say it's probably better to use your time for something else.

🌠So incredibly excited to be joining the 2026–2027 Starlight Stream Ambassador class! :D🌠
Growing up, I spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals myself, so Starlight's mission is one that hits especially close to home. Philanthropy the reason for who I am and what I represent, so being able to use my platform to help always means the most to me <3
So grateful to @StarlightUS for trusting me to represent a mission so close to my heart!☀️
🎉 WELCOME OUR STARLIGHT STREAM AMBASSADOR CLASS OF 2026-2027🎉

Looking for volunteers to help keep the TFT Wiki on Liquipedia updated:
The TFT Wiki could use a few more hands. It’s volunteer / spare-time only (no pay), but if you’re into TFT Esports and want to help, DM me — happy to walk you through it, and you can hop into official Discord. Right now it’s mostly just me and @Alithyst keeping it updated.
A bit of history dies here. In the early days of shoutcasting, before video hosting, folks would record the audio of themselves commentating and supply it alongside a replay file for download.
That's actually where the term "Shoutcast" comes from, it was the name of the service a lot of early shoutcasters used to host their audio.
Casters would even have to do counts or other tricks to help their audiences sync things up between files.
League's history doesn't directly overlap here, but a lot of their early commentary talent does. You can still find clips in some places, like this video @theScoreesports posted seven years ago.

Reflecting a bit on the @FuturePlay_Fest Collegiate Esports Showdown.
This has been a crazy project for myself and @GSEsportsorg more broadly. While we've been thinking about this event for awhile now, its spent a year in active development across production and commentary.
Meanwhile, @DJTJRL gets his own post in here. Literal Rocket League machine. Lead the broadcast both on and off camera. Owner of some of the hypest calls on Championship Sunday. Effortlessly showcased the best of esports in every capacity he held.
I already said a lot of thanks on the day, but I need to shoutout both @FuturePlay_Fest and @GSEsportsorg one last time. This collaboration lead to one of the strongest Collegiate Rocket League events by the numbers, and I can't wait to see what happens next!
