Absolutely gutted for my entire GGRecon family, we worked so hard. I’m still in shock finding out that we’re being closed this morning. Just like my incredibly talented colleagues, I’m now on the job hunt. Any social/content/brand full time or contract roles - RTs appreciated ♥️

Devastated to find out this morning that I've been made redundant from GGRecon. I couldn't have had a better time there, and I'm really proud of the work we all produced 💔 I'm now actively looking for work, both freelance and full time. RTs appreciated ✨

*sigh*, my turn! As of this morning, I and the entire team at GGRecon have been made redundant. I'm actively looking for freelance work, with particular expertise in video game guides, news, reviews, and features. Also open to hardware coverage. DMs open, RTs appreciated ❤️

Here we go then - I'm officially open for work. I'm an experienced editor with six years in games media while also freelancing in tech and fitness. I'm proficient in news, reviews, guides, features, interviews and just about anything else. I can also freelance in gaming for the first time in years, and am open to permanent roles in the industry, too, with plenty of gaming and tech contacts that would benefit any organisation. My CV is available upon request, but you can also email me: thelloydcoombes[at]gmail[dot]com. RTs and shares appreciated, thank you!

Devastated doesn't cut it, but after nearly five years I have been made redundant as GGRecon closes. I loved the company and gave it my all. As for what is next, I'm looking for work immediately, whether its esports journalism, wider gaming news or PR work! Please DM me.

And with that, my time at GGRecon comes to an end due to layoffs. It sucks, but I'm raring to get right back into something new - and I'm having a go at doing some freelance stuff so if you need a video editor with nearly four years of experience in the games industry, hit me up!

It's the most important period of the Overwatch esports calendar. I sat down with @ChrisTFerOW to talk about: - Expecting a diverse meta in Dallas - Tournament favourites & stinkers - The prize pool question - The meaning of the moment - The bottleneck of OW Esports 👇

I am available to work. If you did not know...I am an award-winning journalist facing the struggles of a shrinking genre and will laid off on May 31, 2024. My work has garnered millions of views and has been No. 1 on ALL of reddit having broken some of the biggest stories in gaming and esports (Madden event shooting in Florida, McSkillet wrong-way crash). I can cover gaming, esports, politics, women's sports, fantasy sports, pop-culture, TV/Movies, and more. I have found a passion for this industry, so I'd like to stay. DM if you have any helpful information or a position available.
