Jesus Christ, the fact that I learned about the Iranian Mahsa Amini protests from a youtube channel that averages less than 50k views a video is damning to the western media. Thank you so much Richard, for all the work you have done both in and outside of eSports, the world needs more people willing to speak their honest minds like you. The fact the eSports community hates you so much is a testiment to how braindead they are.
Ive been watching your content for years, but never expressed my gratitude for your work. Thanks for everything you do gonzo. even if it feels like you're not appreciated in the e-sports community, your work is unbelievably important to the scene. Just wanted to say thanks ❤
Richard and Sideshow are both a very good presence for Esports, bringing to light how foreign interests are trying to monopolize an emerging media and exploit people through it for financial and political gain. Kudos to you 👏👏
"But richard, you are excerpting INFLUENCE again!" That had me laughing out loud, yeah of course standing up for what's good and right is something people have to go against, and how dare you not be neutral and letting the world go to even more shit than what it already is? jesus christ
'Preciate you showing respect to Lord Egg. It was a huge L for us OWL degenerates when he and Bren took their talents elsewhere. His video was ballsy AF. Thanks as always for your work.
I find it funny that the same people that will criticise you for "ruining esports" are perfectly okay with the Saudi takeover. Just goes to show how a lot of people, more talking about CS as I know the personalities more, are just on the grift. This includes people that I had once respected are just completely shameless and are accepting of such a morally bankrupt country funding them as long as they benefit from it. This isn't the same esports I fell in love with in 2016. Not that the industry didn't have its faults but I have never been so pessimistic for the future of the industry then I am now. Part of me wishes the scene just died in lockdown so I don't have to see what it is becoming.
The most fucked up thing about the total biscuit of rejuvenation is that riot made it a Jaffa cake looking thing because they thought that was a TB thing and it wasn’t it was a yogscast thing. Still makes me feel crazy to this day
10:00 using the core of a team for ranking is completely normal; its pretty much the standard for every ranking system rn and for the blast spots it was not a set price but a minimum and they said that teams could bid higher
what'd you expect? the guy is a hardcore gamer, of course, he is going to buy everything up and he is not taking a no for an answer if you know how ruthless he is. It's a Saudi take-over and there is nothing you can do about it.
@@RLewisReports alright, my bad then. I didn't know that "Games" being included in the company name causes it to be treated as a plural rather than a single entity. Thanks for reporting on all this Saudi stuff by the way. I'd love to see a vid on how they are sportswashing traditional sports like soccer
One thing people dont understand about Chinese companies is that they are legally *required* to answer to their government for arbitrary reasons which means any Chinese company that stores data on customers are essentially collecting data for the CCP. One such example is 23andme which is very concerning as the Chinese government could get access to DNA samples and develop biological weapons from it, something the PLA even published a paper about which is publically available so we know the Chinese govt is at least aware of that potential.
TH-cam has deleted five links now so you'll have to do some Googling, which you won't. In the 2019 mass execution of 81 people 5 of those were killed for same sex activity. Tough challenge. You can now move the goalposts.
I respect and admire Richard massively and am a massive fan. However, his behavior was highly contradictory and quite frankly hipocritical. Complainig about SJWs and such, then at the same time being offended at the trihard emote in OVerwatch. Similarly, his political positions seem to wander whatever is popular and basicaly being an enlightened centrist saying both sides are bad but never commiting to a poistion himself. This is cowardly. or he will say saudi money is bad yet take american dolalrs when being on eleague. Now he is a socalled professor at university. sure good on you buddy, but dont pretend u did not take that position as soon as poeple stoped wanting to hire you. he claims he left esports. u cant leave something u were kicked out of mate.
You appear to be having a mental health episode. Here's why I say that. 1) I was never "offended" by the TriHard emote. No clue where you got that from. The only thing I've ever said about it was if you feel the need to spam it in chat when you see a black person on stream you're either a racist or an utter moron. 2) I cannot think of a wandering political opinion especially one that's popular. Do provide some examples but I know you won't be able to because that's just not reality. 3) The American government didn't run ELEAGUE. The Saudi government runs and funds the esports output that takes money from their PIF. 4) I objectively stopped working with Saudi funded entities. I have turned down multiple offers to work events. 5) Being a professor is a part time position and the course I run is a Sports Integrity course that covers esports as part of its content. 6) I have never been "kicked out of esports." How would that even work you weirdo? Honestly, you should speak to someone. Taking the time out of your day to post total fabrications about strangers on the internet never leads to good places. Hopefully you have people in your life who can help you.
Expected really... they do share similar cultures when it comes to women after all.

@@regbar0ehh that’s asking a lot. Let’s start with not systemically oppressing them.

Wait, was it not a thing at your place? Here in Germany it was a huge thing.
@@epiclighthd7655 I heard of it too, was touring the news and twitter at the time
Don't blame the media for your ignorance, buddy. It was widely reported on by every major news source
"riot games, what is the one thing they value above everything else" I said out loud "control!" in unison with RL

The thumbnails for these are always golden 😂
Slapped ESL on my blocklist thanks to your reporting. Keep up the good work homie
This is it. The moment Rich becomes a raid boss. Riot and Saudi, together? This is IT! We love you Rich
Congrats to 120k Richard! Much love❤

Shout out to Jacob Wolf too for going ham on it.
@@SultaN_RoyaL yep it’s gonna be super sad to see him gone but it’s inevitable

thank you for always keeping these stories alive and holding these asshats accountable
I thought Lewis and Thoorin already had told us sth like this was going to happen eventually like some years ago...
No surprise here. 😂
Excellent vid, thanks for all the information and insight. Thank you for putting these out. Keep up the good work, cheers.

An esports themed super city would be a great setting for a BioShock game.
I can't wait for the Riot cultists to tell me why they are heroes and this is a good thing.
Man I miss Totalbiscuit.

seeing falcons in kato as well as blast etc.... i facepalmed so fucking hard
The esports we all dreamed of is dead its becoming more and more closed off and they have started to circle the wagons.
I called this a while ago....peoples outrage is for sale
Sad Day indeed. Its is not a wonderful life for Riot.

They all love the saudi money!
Ladi dadi everybody!!
8:15 Saudi watching this video like "so that's what it will take for him to stop...", while dusting off the old suitcase(s)
Come to Riyadh, city of the scimitar
ngl scimitars are dope ...... especially when they are used for decapitations
maaate this comment just made my day holy shit
gold
It would be funny if TSM with Doublelift and Bjergsen ressurect in this event.
Any recommendations of things to do in Malvern? I’ll be there in a few weeks
This may be addressed in the video, but the title may contain a typo. ("Get" vs. "Gets")
No, it doesn't.

posted on the league subreddit and it was removed. Yikes
I gave up watching esport content because of this. Now it's even more fucked.
Maybe if the League community has some balls they will try to do something about it (doubt it) we'll have to wait
Wondering what the chances of TSM showing up in Riyadh are.
bloody lovely
Nice video
Richard is that a Junji Ito shirt?
Which malvern Rich, USA or UK?
Sideshow 💯💯💯
Its everyone's favorite zionist with a new video again.
Nah he is obviously houthi/zaydi
here is a challenge, show me one incident of a LGBT person who was killed in Saudi?
ill wait ?
