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. | ||

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. | ||

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"? | ||

It's very different when you try to hire someone new though. | ||
