I want to apologize to Minh, Challenger TCG and all of my supporters who defended me. I really fucked up and double down on it. I was afraid and have never been in this situation before. I didn’t want to let everyone down by telling the truth of what really happened, and on top of lying to everyone including my family and friends, I was lying to myself. I didn’t wanna believe it myself that what I was doing was cheating, as crazy as that sounds. I know what I did was wrong, and again, nothing I can say can change that I truly am sorry to everyone, especially to my opponents who I played against. I love Riftbound with everything I have and unfortunately, I really let down a lot of people. I truly am sorry.

Warning for those coming to the RQ Thursday badge pickup.
The line is long... and outside.
Barcelona RQ
Due to medical concerns, I was forced to drop in round 6 with a 3-2 record from the Barcelona RQ. This is a call to action for Riot to, at all costs, do better for future RQ venue choices.
First of all, a lot of credit is due to the judges and event staff for being as accommodating and helpful as possible and helping to address the medical issue, which was heat exhaustion. Thank you.
Many have already spoken to it, but the venue and heat issues at the Barcelona RQ this weekend have been unacceptable. I implore Riot to not make this mistake again — summer events need adequate cooling and space. The vending machine was not working and there was no other way to purchase an electrolyte drink in the venue. The medical area did not have electrolytes available either (thank you to the judge that found some electrolyte tablets for me though). I probably had the worst outcome but I know others were also facing many physical, medical issues due to the heat.
My full experience:
In the middle of round 4 I felt my hands and fingers muscle cramping frequently. I had a lot of time available after the round and went to the medical area. They checked out my issue and applied a hot/cold spray on my arms. Before my next round I bought an orange juice at the store inside the venue and water and drank both, but was unable to find any source of electrolytes.
I let my round 5 opponent know the issues I was having. Thank you to him for being super understanding of my issues. After game 1, a judge gave us a time extension for me to try to get some more food and hydration. I got more water, ate an apple, and got a Pringles to munch on in between. Was mainly hoping to find some bananas and/or Powerade. I struggled thru the match and after we finished I was taken to the medical area in a wheelchair to attempt to cool off and get more attention.
I expected someone to run into these issues, but never did I think it would be me. I had 2 Snickers bars and a Powerade at the start of my day. In between rounds I drank another 4 cups of water, and snacked on some Haribo gummies. After round 4, I found more food and drink.
My blood pressure and blood sugar/insulin were good. I don’t have diabetes or any prior health issues. I slept 7-8 hours last night. Nothing like this has ever happened before. I was not able to recover in time while getting medical attention and had to drop against my round 6 opponent. I felt like I did almost everything I could to avoid this problem. I had to hold back tears knowing this is how my event was going to end. Thank you again to everyone who helped me through this bizarre experience.
TL;DR heat exhaustion from Barcelona RQ venue; Riot must not allow this problem to ever surface again

Today, one of our Overwatch players used an anti-Black racial slur in the chat during a scrim. To the Black players, fans, and members of our community this affected: I'm sorry. I want to be unequivocal in condemning the language he used. There is no place for it in our game, in our community, or in this organization.
We began looking into the incident the moment it was brought to our attention. After a thorough review, we have decided to release Rupal and remove him from our Overwatch roster.
When we bring a player into Team Liquid, our expectation is that they represent themselves and us at the highest levels of professionalism; on stage, online, and in every space where they carry our name. We have each and every player go through media training, communication training, and sensitivity training in an attempt to educate them about the meaning of words and the weight they carry. We believe in that process and hold everyone who represents Team Liquid to that same standard. But today it was not enough, and we take that seriously. We will be reviewing our onboarding and retraining process. It's clear we need additional accountability structures implemented. Not just as a reaction to this incident, but as an ongoing commitment to the communities that make our games worth playing.
Team Liquid has always tried to build something bigger than wins and losses. That means holding ourselves accountable when we fall short, and it means being honest with our community rather than hiding behind vague language. What happened today was wrong, and we felt we owed you a clear response.
We also recognize that Rupal is a leader in NA's Overwatch scene, but he is also a young person who made a serious mistake in a very public way. We hope this becomes a moment of genuine reflection and growth for him. Not the end of his story, but a turning point in it. We wish him well.

Long post ahead:
This MSI was a challenge for me personally, with Stitch passing right before the event I was obviously grieving & it brought back a lot of the pain from my father dying right before last years MSI.
I wanted to channel my grief & emotions in a positive way and also wanted to do my part in giving Canada the show they've so badly deserved for years. The schedule for the event itself is pretty grueling with many back to back show days, double BO5 days, doing the DIVE after shows, story meetings etc. I think this was compounded by how drained I was feeling emotionally for sure as well, and the fact that I was picking up a lot of extra days with others getting sick.
The event itself was amazing, had fantastic games & a truly unforgettable crowd throughout. I've never felt so much love from fans in person and got to meet, take pictures with & sign things for hundreds and hundreds of fans. It was truly a joy to meet so many of you and hear stories about people who've been watching me since my wow pro days, grew up near where I did in Canada, have watched every episode of the DIVE and many other stories.
I've been working really hard to make myself into someone who can excel in any role that's needed from me, and it was cool to be able to do my first on stage interview at a big event, my first international tri-cast as a PBP & to lean into some fun skit ideas I had for the desk. I'm so happy people enjoyed it all, and as I continually compare my current self to past versions of me I can see the growth which is very satisfying. I can honestly say having cast consistently since 2010 that I still love it, and am still hungry to get better and better each day.
I've always been proudly Canadian and felt a really special connection to the event, which has made me all the more grateful to have been a part of it. It's easy to lose sight of what you have when you're looking constantly towards your next goal, but I am honestly so lucky to do something I feel this passionate about and to have so many people around the world enjoy and appreciate the work I do.
This is absolutely the longest post I've ever made, but I felt like sharing how I was feeling with the end of MSI. Thank you for reading it if you've made it this far, and thank you to all of you who continue to support me in doing what I love. See you next time.

A heartbreaking loss to Flyquest. Despite the result, I’m proud of our players and coaches for their relentless effort and growth this split. This isn’t the end. Our squad gained crucial experience and we’ll be back stronger. Congrats to Flyquest. Please cheer them on as our region’s sole representative.

This past weekend, I had the honor of sharing the stage with DJs I’ve long admired, along with meeting many new friends.
I’ve never been more motivated as a DJ/artist & can't wait to see where this journey goes.
Thank you @justinbanusing @andfriendsfest for the opportunity! 🎵
