And the big @DrDisrespect comeback stream went about as expected — big numbers, bigger swings from the Two Time, and a whole lot of questions marks about why so many are still supporting an entertainer like this. My op-ed for @DotEsports dotesports.com/streaming/news…


I reviewed @KyleThompsonDev's new metroidvania Crypt Custodian for @DotEsports, and it was such a fun little game! It's full of charm, a loveable cast of characters, and a great collectibles system. You can check out my full review here: dotesports.com/indies/news/cr…


One of my favorite things about @PlayFlintlock -- This adorable idle animation from @EnkiFlintlock

As of today, I've been let go from Destructoid so I'm a free agent. If anyone knows of any games writing opportunities, especially for news coverage, I'd appreciate it if you sent them my way.

Unfortunately, I've been let go by GAMURS Group, but I am now looking for freelance or full-time opportunities in the space! I have six years of experience in the industry as both a writer and editor, and can provide references. Links to work: linktr.ee/mxttporter

In all of of his work, Scott brought a level of professionalism, insight, and empathy for an industry that's often lacking those traits. He's an absolute joy to have on staff and will be sorely missed by the Dot team. Any newsroom would be lucky to have him.

This morning I was let go by GAMURS. After nearly four years with Dot Esports, my time has come to an end, and I am now looking for work in writing, press relations, and/or content creation, preferably still within gaming and esports.



It was always such a pleasure to edit any of Michael's features. He's an incredibly talented storyteller and brings such a positive attitude to the team. I know he'll kill it wherever he goes!

Last week marked the end of my four-year tenure with @DotEsports Nothing but gratitude and love to all those who I've crossed paths with over the last few years. Brighter horizons ahead.

Cale is such a wonderful person to work with and is by far one of the most knowledgeable people I know on the Pokémon and FGC beats (definitely taught me a thing or two!) -- Anybody would be lucky to have him on staff.

After 5+ years and over 7,600 articles, I was informed today that I am being let go from Dot Esports. I’ll talk more about specifics later, but for now, I am open to work of all kinds (preferably full-time) in writing, media communications, etc.

Not going to go through another round of hack/leak discourse. What's newsworthy is a decision every journalist and newsroom makes for itself. It is not made lightly or in a dumb chase for "clicks." If making money was the point we would have left this business a long time ago.


Rachel Samples Reposted

If you know of any media openings, please contact me through leonardo.biazzi@gmail.com or via DMs. I have a lot to offer as a reporter still, but I'm more than open to switching to PR after all these years.

Overworked, frustrated, and failed by leadership. Three former @EvilGeniuses employees spoke to @DotEsports about working there over the past two years. Exclusive report below. dotesports.com/business/news/…

Last week I had the honor of interviewing @snajand and @itsmako, two of the brilliant minds behind many of @riotgamesmusic hits including the #Worlds2023 anthem Come with me and take a peak at some of "The secrets behind Riot’s hit anthems" and (1/2) dotesports.com/league-of-lege…

Depression, burnout, insomnia: LEC pros reveal the mental toll of a LoL esports career. Months of work finally out. More than anything I'm glad players felt comfortable enough to share their thoughts and struggles on such a delicate topic with me Here⬇️ dotesports.com/league-of-lege…

Hey I'm not at all a video editor, but I'm trying out some new content. This play was super simple but effective from Effect, and it almost got @theAllianceGG a win, so I made a video about it.


A great example of just some of the journalism we're doing at Dot. @ethangarcia___'s writing is always worth reading, especially if you're a LoL fan!

CALL FOR WRITERS! I am hiring a few freelancers for @FanbyteMedia's Final Fantasy XIV section. Please email samples to jscharnagle@zam.com Check the thread below for what I'm looking for:


As someone with a birthday in June, I may not have gotten any cupcakes for the class in grade school, but I’m eating good as an adult with all the games showcases

I'm happy to have been able to break this for those crying out on the #HearUsNiantic train. It's a shame that it seems to have been swamped behind another big announcement, but I hope it reaches those that needed to hear it. Thanks to @MichaelSteranka for his time and honesty.

Niantic has finally responded to the #HearUsNiantic movement and touched on why it decided to change remote raid passes in the end in @PokemonGoApp dotesports.com/pokemon/news/n…
