Players peak at 20 not because of something inherent to esports, it’s because of the pay scale.
Players make millions in their 20s in sports.
Esports players eventually lose their justification for grinding over time for current pay. They get significant others, their priorities change and move on when they decide its not worth it.
The players that great money trend older just like sports. There are many pro esports players over 30 still at the top level.
It’s def more grey than sports but that’s bc of lack of structure and an immature business model/pay scale.
As the model is solved and players can sustain high pay the same way they can in sports the avg age of a pro will increase. It can eventually line up with sports maybe peaking out in early 30s, which gives plenty of room for collegiate to be P2P
At least thats my 2 cents

I haven’t heard about any LCS/Americas format information, but I will say it now:
The success of FlyQuest and the @LCSOfficial teams was in a large part from LCS moving to Best of 3’s - So if I hear of any returns to Bo1’s for next year I will consider that a clear step back.

Unfortunately I was impacted by this. Honestly in shock and don't know how to feel other than a combination of sad and terrified in this moment.
I guess if anyone knows of any esports, project management, or product lead roles available hit me up.
Minutes ago, we shared an important update with Rioters about the future of Riot Games. Here’s what these changes mean for our games and what players can expect from us going forward: riot.com/3Odehsi

During Game Changers, westrice helped me so much with his coaching, even though he was coaching outside of his main role. Truly such a nice person, and our team benefited so much from his generous work
I'm looking for a team for 2024!
I'm primarily looking for Head Coach, Assist. Coach, Positional Top or GM roles in LCS/LEC/CLOL, but open to other opportunities.
Reach me via DMs or email [email protected] to schedule an interview / request work samples
RTs appreciated❤️

Hey everyone, today was a super tough day as I've been let go from NRG after what has been one of the most magical seasons I've ever had the pleasure of being apart of.
That being said, I'm currently LFT for any management opportunities in League of Legends and beyond!
Today, we are announcing the departure of @kamikazplatypus from NRG League of Legends.
As GM, Jonathon helped build this team and create an environment that led us to become the best in the West. Thank you for everything, we wish you all the best.

After four years, four trophies and lots of good times, my time at Cloud9 has come to an end.
I am now a free agent looking for a team for 2024.
Although I had fun and enjoyed the Support role, I want to make it clear that I'm looking for opportunities as an ADC, not Support
Woke up to the news GAM 2-1’d TL. Always rooting for VN but sad it had to be Pyosik 😭
Man was playing outta his mind this Worlds.
