Not a terrible surprise but it was surprising of how long it took.

Why would you phrase it this way when he says that he resigned?

You might not be reading it at face value but at least leave it to others to make their own judgement free of your biases.


That's a fair point, but people don't resign with no discernible future plans.

Also I think it's pretty clear that I was just stating my own interpretation of his writing instead of presenting it as fact.

Patreon, yo.

I think it's quite appropriate, given that it's Richard Lewis we're talking about. For example, note that Richard Lewis has been COMPLETELY SILENT as to whether he was fired for gross sexual misconduct.

Literally what.

GI thinks RLewis is a conspiracy theorist who accused riot and /r/lol of misconduct without sufficient evidence.

That said, he's been talking of leaving esports forever, even since before the drama, so probably he got some regular journalism job at one of the British papers.


Richard Lewis comes off as the kind of person who cannot excel in a team environment. I can't imagine a vanilla news station work out for him.

But then again, he really needed to calm down on his Twitter. Jesus Christ it was hard to read.

I 2nd that :-)) Although I just think that her ulti needs to be changed a bit, meaning that it should not do so much by only pressing one button and you don't even need a good timing or game knowledge for that, Janna R can literally rend useless whole team compositions while being bronze level mechanics and understanding - just press R.

Why not? Much worse things have happened and he is actually someone who has been in the esports scene in forever and isn't actually hated in csgo like he is in league of legends.

1. RL is hardly a team player and as far as I can see, have not demonstrated his ability in a leadership role.

2. RL hates mainstream companies. He has ranted about this before regarding standard journalism companies and theScore. I think he doesn't like to play by other people's rules. I don't see him meshing well on ESPN.

I don't really see him working in a leadership role or as a journalist for ESPN unless ESPN HR is clueless.

I read rumours from CSGO people that he's looking at a players union for EU.

I mean, Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith continue to enjoy gainful employment by ESPN. Adding RL to that would certainly make quite the trifecta, as horrifying as that sounds.

Hmm he did say on a podcast that he was interested in making one and said something like "I would do it myself if the players were fine with it". Wouldn't be that surprising.

I mean he did well as a host but that's hardly a leadership position. We have never really had the opportunity to see him in one so hard to say if he can or can't do it. Also have heard him say how as you get older a stable job unlike esports is something that would interest him.

Also why wouldn't ESPN be clueless? When has a mainstream company picked up something esports and done a job that made you think "wow that was amazing"?

Stephen A has worked for ESPN for many years and he did get disciplined by ESPN for his misconduct before. It's very different when you try to hire someone new though.

Out of curiosity, have you worked for a mainstream/big company before?

not in a position that would be relevant for this

I would say there is a 90% chance the esports person at ESPN will be from some crap site like kotaku or ign. ESPN would be uncharacteristically smart if they hired a lolesports writer.
