But as far as eSports journalists go, the guy has been doing it profitably for well over 8 years now, and very well at that. Most of the time, his information is on point. Now, one owner can completely mislead on a situation, which is what appears to have happened with the shirts deal, but when an esports journalist can get a quote from a team owner on an actual development, that's newsworthy considering that all of these team owners have a general belief that their sites should be the only sites putting out content and are extremely hard to pull any form of relevant information from.
Regardless, the tone-deaf response to the Bo2/Bo3 format as well as the whole OGN/KeSPA thing are some pretty ugly things. But it appears that Valve and Blizzard are trying to out fuckup Riot this week, so I have a feeling Riot is actually pretty ok with how the week went.
But he chose to write for Breitbart. That means when you view his articles, you are rewarding Breitbart.
There are a lot of things more important than fucking esports.

Riot didn't fuck up with the BO2/BO3 format. That's reddit's need to be perpetually outraged about everything. Sure, the soccer thing was a little lame, but if this is your biggest complaint, you need to find other things to be mad about. Because Riot moving to a Bo2 or a Bo3 is literally a response to people's complaints before about the bo1 thing. Who the flip cares if a throwaway line was lame?
I mean, they did. Giving one region a distinct advantage over another is a pretty big deal. Bo2 is probably the better regular season format, as quadz mentioned. But in terms of who's getting a better deal, NA came out way ahead. Having more games and a more intimate knowledge of how to approach Bo3 series strategy wise and having a regular idea of how to prepare for them is huge.

It's a pretty big fuckup. Crossing KeSPA in the past has not ended well for organizations in Korea.

Mountains out of molehills. The relevant regional difference isn't between EU and NA other than as it relates to viewership, and EU has had the shorter end of that stick for a while.

Agree to disagree.

so meteos' twitter account appears to have been hacked this morning, several tweets were posted (most appear to have been deleted now), username changed to FaZeYumYum.
A nude picture of a woman was posted, ostensibly taken from Meteos' phone or DMs. Her twitter account was tagged in the tweet. :/

Chloroform girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleeping again
You're only alive because I like you
It's been three years since you've seen the sunlight
But I know you're having fun
Bound, gagged and chained up in my basement
