Day 1 without ao3.
It's cold, and I can't stop the children from crying. They don't know when father will return. I don't have the heart to tell them that it will be weeks. A month even. I've tried making a fire countless times, but it won't take.
Tomorrow will be better.

We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/

Being an EG Content Creator was the experience I could ever ask for. I was told yesterday firsthand by Chris and it took pretty much everything in me to not break down in the call with him. I know how incredible all the staff who work at EG are. People who would do anything for me at a moments notice, people who truly believed in my vision of Minecraft having a chance as a competitive esport.
This is beyond heartbreaking. Gridlock (which is entirely funded by EG) will continue to run like normal until November 2nd, where after I will pay for the grandfinals out of pocket. The players and staff of Gridlock deserve the best possible product and proper closure to the project.
I have a lot of thoughts on Gridlock as well but now isn't the time, but know that anything was ever needed they would always deliver.
Without Evil Geniuses my 10k run does not happen live. They paid for the stage space at TwitchCon and I could not imagine what that even runs at. They believed in our community. The funded NRI's, the Free 4 All, and so much more.
I hope the staff are all okay. I am so sad for them. I would do anything for any of them. The fact that the reality of me being a creator who is able to still go live and make content and simply do my job like nothing is different, while hardworking and caring people lose theirs makes me quite frankly ill. I hate the current models of esports and I hope they can all find footing in something they truly love.
Please, if you enjoyed any EG event through me, let them know below. I don't want their hardwork and love the community had for what we were able to do be forgotten.

Following the disqualification of edcr from Season 11 Playoffs due to past harmful messages which breached our player conduct rules, the Ranked team has reached a final decision on his eligibility for future Playoffs.
When the messages were first brought to our attention we verified that the messages were sent by edcr. We contacted edcr the same day to hear his side. He denied that the messages had been sent by him.
Two days later, edcr posted a public statement, in which he took accountability for the messages. This directly conflicted with the information he previously provided to the Ranked team.
After playoffs concluded, we contacted edcr again for comment, where he briefly apologized and acknowledged that he was dishonest with us in our initial communication.
edcr only reached out to the Ranked team when directly prompted, and never reached out of his own accord. Taking into account all of these factors, our final decision is that edcr is permanently banned from participating in future Playoffs.

tldr: i think people mistake ranked team's firmness for lack of compassion or empathy
