The Bronze Scrub Who Made Esports Bleed

Ойындар

One of the worst League of Legends players in the world nearly destroyed esports.
Sam-Bankman Fried dreamed of using his crypto riches to help esports grow - all while ignoring meetings to try and climb out of Bronze - which he never quite managed.
And as it turned out, this billionaire gamer was about to fail at literally everything else too.

    Well tsm, riot and other company's like money. But when the shit hits the fan they just pull the scape goat spell card. And it's obvious, but the sad thing is making a video promoting this. like poor riot and tsm are the victim, like parents whom don't care if his kid also did wrong. that's just doesn't matter.

    @@Lynch2507Things she said/done during her time in esports, in no particular order. Gamers are sexist. Constantly promotes fiminism as one of the host in an esports talkshow which drowns a lot of the esport segment. It wasn't even a healthy fiminist take to help promote female players but a toxic one which would lead to especially younger audience to look at female players badly. Took to twitter to tell Quickshot (an LEC caster and senior lead of the broadcast team) that he is gatekeeping caster talents which isn't true JUST because she got the short end she wouldn't return for a year which majority of the LEC caster at that time including her agreed to take Caedrel (pro player wanting to try casting) as a caster. There were too many casters at the time. Even Ender another caster got booted out but never was that petty. Ender even returned now. Beginning of every year in LEC, Quickshot or Sjokz would show the viewers about the on-Air talents and casters that would be seeing during the year including something new. After her take of gatekeeping, LEC at the time, would now have a rotational casters swapping with the lower league which helps promote them as well as show unknown casters outside of EU league have a shot at the spotligh in the LEC stage. Frosk told on-Live broadcast as well as her fellow co-host: "White as long as I can see" (this wasn't the exact quote) which she heavily implies the casting LEC team has no person of color in diversity. Which is kinda racist on her end because there was in fact one "black" caster during the whole rotation/swapping caster. You gotta remember not everyone can cast, they can't just put in a no experience caster. G4TV was a legitimate esport talkshow but as soon as she showed up it went to hell. Keeps ranting about there is a dark secret, bad practices and toxic management of Orgs and Esport as a whole but never tell it directly. She keeps going back to this but never trully saying anything even at her announcement of leaving the esports scene entirety. I mean if you're going to leave this part of your life and never returning, you might as well out everyone and drag them with you but Nope. No evidence, No hints, Not evem small whispers. She is creating drama for nothing. I'm sure there is a lot more in the G4TV side but that's everything from when I WAS watching her. She was cool caster in the beginning but then she turned.
